We got upgraded due to a mix-up in our room; the property is gorgeous, well-taken care of, and full of little touches that elevate the whole stay. The decor was amazing. I could not get over the wallpaper in our bathroom--so pretty.

Enjoyed the experience in a historic property turned hotel. Well thought out. A few quirks but overall a great stay and convenient to downtown and other great spots in Asheville. Recommend for those looking to get outside the box of hotel stays. Well done.
