The breakfast was good. However, the room was not cleaned properly and several lights were not working. It is fine for a quick stay, provided the room maintenance issues are addressed.

The Clarion Inn is conveniently located about 5 minutes from Asheville airport. Very close to many restaurants. The room was fine and good value. The breakfast buffet is well stocked with a good variety of foods. If you want an unpretentious place to stay for a good price, close to the airport, I recommend.

The staff and location were the two highlights of my stay. The property is very dated and my tub had mold around where the caulking is located. My last night there while taking a shower, the water pressure went down to nothing. Only a trickle was coming out of the shower head and I had soap all over me.

Very nice accommodations! Spacious room, two queen beds, desk and chair, and two sitting area chairs. Note left by mgmt said room has just been cleaned to hospital standards. So comfortable in all regards for our four night stay. Breakfast was free and delicious every morning....fluffy scrambled eggs, crisp bacon, sausage, crispy hash browns. They also had waffles and blueberry muffins. We had to request a microwave as advertised, but a very nice staffer brought us a brand new one right away. Onsite Mexican restaurant, Blue Agave, has an extensive authentic menu and was yummy! We also celebrated our anniversary dining at the Longhorn's located right in the parking lot within walking distance. Thank you Clarion-Arden, NC for making our stay such a positive memorable experience. You rock!
