Detailed Reviews: Top Hotels in Asheville NC
1. Baymont by Wyndham Asheville/Biltmore
The Vibe
This is the Biltmore-area workhorse — 1200+ reviews with a Location score of 9.2 and Staff at 9.1. Guests rave about the hot breakfast (“best I ever had at a hotel,” says one), though the pool and hot tub are currently closed for maintenance. If breakfast and Biltmore access are your main drivers, this is tough to beat at the price point.
What You Actually Get
Non-smoking rooms, 24-hour front desk, and free private parking included. The indoor pool and fitness center are on-site but the pool closure means you’ll be heading out for recreation. Biltmore Village’s restaurants and bars are walkable — one guest asked exactly that and got a “yes, Biltmore Village” confirmation from the property. Cleanliness scores 9.1, right up with the Staff ranking.
Choose this if: You want the Biltmore close by and a hot breakfast that guests actually talk about in their reviews.

2. La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Downtown Asheville
The Vibe
A mile from downtown and off I-240, this 3-star hits a steady Very Good at 8.3 across 1100 reviews. The indoor heated pool and hot tub are actually open (6 AM to 10 PM, per the GM), which is rare news for Asheville pools right now. Rooms come with microwaves and mini-fridges, and guests consistently call them clean and comfortable.
What You Actually Get
Free WiFi (scoring 7.5 — passable), free private parking, and a fitness center. The hotel’s own Q&A confirms the pool is heated and working. Cleanliness hits 9.0, which is solid for this price tier. Staff scores 8.9, and the Property says they do restaurant reservations for guests. The 8.4 Location score reflects that you’ll need a car for downtown, but it’s a short drive.
Choose this if: You want a reliable pool and don’t mind driving a mile into downtown.

What You Actually Get
Valet parking at $17/night with in/out privileges. The restaurant is on the 4th floor, and yes, you can pay for breakfast there without a package.

The Vibe

Frequently Asked Questions
Which Asheville hotels allow pets?

The Radical Asheville (#13) and Embassy Suites Downtown (#15) also accept pets with fees.

Always confirm the specific pet policy when booking — some have weight limits or breed restrictions not listed online.
What’s the most walkable area for hotels in Asheville?
Downtown Asheville and Biltmore Village are the two most walkable areas. Downtown properties like the Kimpton Hotel Arras (#10, Location 9.8), Cambria Hotel Downtown (#3, Location 9.8), and AC Hotel Downtown (#20, Location 9.7) put you steps from restaurants, breweries, and shops. Biltmore Village properties like the Hampton Inn Biltmore Village (#7, Location 9.5) and Courtyard Biltmore Village (#17, Location 9.3) offer walkable access to estate-area dining and the Biltmore Estate entrance itself.
Which hotels offer the best breakfast in Asheville?
The Embassy Suites Downtown (#15) features an “Exceptional Breakfast” with a 9.2 overall rating — guests consistently call it outstanding. The Baymont by Wyndham Biltmore (#1) also earns an “Excellent Breakfast” label, with one guest claiming it was “the best breakfast I ever had at a hotel.” The Fairfield Inn Tunnel Road (#5) and the Kimpton Hotel Arras (#10) both offer excellent breakfast options, though the Arras charges €22 for its spread.
