Holiday Inn Express & Suites Asheville Downtown, An Ihg Hotel

“Base Camp One for Blue Ridge Parkway Road Trip”

My husband and I did the Blue Ridge Parkway road trip in October 2022, and this hotel was our base for night 1 and it was great! The room was cozy, the breakfast was really good and it is close to downtown Ashville. If you are road tripping to Ashville, this is great hotel for 1 or 2 days.

“Clean, indoor outdoor pool, location, breakfast, outdoor seating, relaxing.”

We stayed here on our way to vacation. We came from Gatlinburg and the drive was super close and pretty. Hotel has an indoor and outdoor pool attached that we all loved. Indoor pool area could use more seating and floors are very slick. The hot tub jets do not work. It would’ve been nice to have ... Mehr

We stayed here on our way to vacation. We came from Gatlinburg and the drive was super close and pretty. Hotel has an indoor and outdoor pool attached that we all loved. Indoor pool area could use more seating and floors are very slick. The hot tub jets do not work. It would’ve been nice to have a sign letting you know. It was still nice and hot. Another guest asked at the front desk and let us know it was broken. Hotel was super clean and staff were attentive and helpful. Breakfast is yummy! There is an outdoor deck area we sat and enjoyed in the evening and you can eat breakfast out there as well. They recently had a sink hole in the parking lot and were fixing that. Hotel was a great price and located close to restaurants and grocery. Also the window shades are awesome and keep every bit of light out.

“Very good, almost excellent”

This has to be the cleanest hotel room I have ever stayed at. No dust, no mold in the shower, Shower water pressure was a 10+.

This has to be the cleanest hotel room I have ever stayed at. No dust, no mold in the shower, Shower water pressure was a 10+. Can be a bit hard to find since the property is back off the main street. Only complaints are that the breakfast is exactly the same hot offerings every day. The so NOT serve the always delicious cinnamon rolls (the breakfast help informed me that they cannot get them from the local food provider) or hard boiled eggs (same reasoning) and that they clean the floors by the breakfast area while the breakfast area is open. The solution is so strong (someone should check the potency of the mop cleaning solutio0n) that some people has to leave the area. So strong that the odor carried over through out the day. Hotel is close to many tourist attractions. Did not use the pool or fitness area.

We spent 3 nights at the Holiday Inn Express & Suites in Downtown Asheville. Figuring out the entrance to the hotel was a little tricky as you need to drive through an Outback Steakhouse parking lot. In addition, part of the parking lot was closed off when we arrived due to a sink hole. After we figured out the parking situation we were greeted warmly at the front desk. I was asked if we had any room requests and we indicated we prefer a high floor. We were given a room on the 6th floor. The front desk was very helpful and provided us with a list of recommended restaurants and hotels. They also advised us of which restaurants were within walking distance to the hotel. The hotel is conveniently located to everything. It is less than two miles from the main downtown area and within a 15 minute drive to all the other attractions we visited. The breakfast selection was more limited than other Holiday Inn's we have stayed at before. Usually, there are more hot dishes such as biscuits and gravy and English muffins. Neither were available at this location. In addition, the hot tub was not working. The water was hot but the jets were not working. There were lots of cracks in the tiles in the hot tub and around the pool making the floor uneven and a potential fall risk. Overall, our room was very clean and comfortable. It was cleaned each day which is a first for us since COVID. There is also a parking garage underneath the hotel and parking is free. This is a huge plus particularly in a downtown area. Overall, we would stay here again in the future. Hopefully, they will address the issues with the pool and hot tub before then.
