Top Smith-McDowell House Museum Hotel Reviews

Oakland Cottage Bed & Breakfast

10/10 Excellent

"We enjoyed our time at the cottage: great location, rooms were adorable and well stocked, house was beautiful and cozy, the hostesses were great-knowledgeable, friendly and the breakfast was the best we had! I highly recommend!"

Home2 Suites by Hilton Asheville Biltmore Village

8/10 Good

"Breakfast was good our first 2 days, only mediocre in the middle of the week and then returned to better for the weekend (our last 2 days). The recumbent bike was never repaired as indicated at beginning of our stsy."

Crowne Plaza Resort Asheville by IHG

8/10 Good

"Overall good stay, especially having access the hiking trails on/near the property."

Hampton Inn & Suites Asheville Biltmore Village

10/10 Excellent

"We were pleasantly greeted and our accommodations were perfect except for one thing. The shower base was very slick. We asked for a walk in shower which we got. My husband is 82, not handicapped, but appreciates a walk in shower. Our bathroom was luxuriously large, our bedding was comfortable. Everyone was polite and helpful. Breakfast was included and very good. It varied each day with eggs, waffles, biscuits, yogurt, fresh fruit, bacon, sausage, bagels and cream cheese available. There was definitely something for everyone. Coffee, hot chocolate, hot tea and juice was plentiful. We enjoyed our 3 night stay very much, even during Hurricane Isaias."

Residence Inn by Marriott Asheville Biltmore

8/10 Good

"Convenient location for the hospital visits we needed to make. The room was clean and bedding comfortable. Everything worked out well."

Cedar Crest Inn

10/10 Excellent

"We stayed in the carriage house and it was my mom’s favorite part of our trip to Ashville! We had the whole house to ourselves as no other visitors had booked during this one night stay. Breakfast in the dining room was fantastic. Just what you needed. Hard boiled eggs, bagels @ cream cheese, juice, homemade granola, yogurt, coffee! All delicious. So fun to read all of the history of the Cedar Crest. We came from Northern California and knew very little about this area. This was our first night of our stay in Ashville and couldn’t have imagined a better stay."

Renaissance Asheville Downtown Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Breakfast was nice! Staff was friendly."

Courtyard by Marriott Asheville Biltmore Village
