Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re thrilled to hear that you enjoyed the gorgeous views and found everything to be just as pictured. It’s also great to know the hotel staff helped make your stay even more welcoming. We appreciate you choosing to stay with us and hope we can host you again on your next visit!
This was our second stay at the downtown Asheville property. We stayed at the Southern Exposure unit last Fall and knew we would return. The location is incredible and our views of the mountains and city were breathtaking. Walking distance to fantastic restaurants and the restaurant on site is wonderful as well. The condo is well appointed with elevated and comfortable furnishings. We cancelled dinner reservations one night to stay on the unit and just enjoy the view and when we sent pics to family and friends they were all impressed. So close to everything and the staff is fantastic. Thank you for another memorable stay!

We love that you took time to slow down, enjoy the space, and even trade a night out for a cozy evening in with those incredible mountain and city views - that’s exactly the kind of experience we hope every guest has. It means a lot to know your friends and family were just as impressed!
We also appreciate your kind words about our team and the nearby dining options. We’re so glad everything came together for another fantastic stay.
We look forward to welcoming you back for a third visit soon!
