The hotel is a charming historic gem with traditional baths and queen beds. While the lack of a thermostat could be improved and the floors had a bit of a creep, the overall experience was cozy and authentic. The service was welcoming and the complimentary drink added a nice touch. In terms of location, being nestled in the mountains in the scenic Asheville area provided a picturesque setting, and the proximity to downtown was very convenient. The dining experience, featuring delightful cinnamon scones and delicious sandwiches, was a highlight. The facilities were adequate, offering a comfortable stay with a touch of nostalgia.
