Best Western Asheville-Blue Ridge Parkway

I’ve been staying at this particular best Western property for about 15 years and I must say it is one of the best hotels in the best Western system. It’s very well kept up very safe very clean and very comfortable. This is the first time I ever booked it through booking.com but I can highly recommend this property. it’s nice that it’s an older property and you can pull right up to your door so it’s perfect when traveling with dogs because you can get them in and out easily.

Breakfast was superb with biscuits, gravy, sausage, yogurt machine with fresh strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, fruit, milk, and they offer coffee 24/7. Rooms were super clean (looked like they had just been redone) and the bed was really comfortable. Pool was very clean and the staff were very helpful with parking our truck and trailer. Cameras all over facility which made you feel safe.

We've stayed here at least 4 times for about a week each time. It's not near as expensive as most other places in Asheville which definitely helps when you have to come here. We get a king room on the ground floor in the back. You hear very little road noise, and you can drive right up to the door where you're staying. Beds are comfortable, room is kept clean, breakfast has a wide range of all the usual selections with plenty of seating. Pool is bigger than most hotel pools and kept in good condition. We appreciate that the room has good lighting (so many hotels have poor room lighting!), there are towel bars in the bathroom, plenty of room around the sink for toiletries, the desk is a decent size, plenty of plugs for charging electronics, frig is a little bigger than the usual hotel frig, and there is a microwave. You can buy a frozen meal at the grocery store and heat it up, which saves on all that eating out and those jumbo portions! One thing to remember is that due to labor shortage they don't necessarily clean your room everyday on weekends. However, if you ask, they will. Staff has always been very helpful. You do need a car as almost nothing is within walking distance.

At first, we were given a room that smelled strongly of cigarettes, even though we had booked a non-smoking room. However, when we pointed this out, we were promptly moved to another similar room without the cigarette smell. The staff responded quickly to our concerns, which we appreciated. Overall, the room was clean, although there were a few hairs on the bed sheet. Everything else worked properly.

It was inexpensive without compromising on anything important. They had a reasonable hot breakfast for along day ahead. The location was quiet (our building was in the back) despite a highway nearby. They were conveniently located to arrive to CLT at 5 pm and drive towards the Great Smoky Mountains NP in the morning. They had really great tasting coffee in the morning. Well above what I'd expect from a typical motel. I had a little car trouble which forced me to be an hour late for my checkout. They were kind enough to forgive it.
