Hotels in AshevilleA mid-range resort and conference hotel on spacious grounds outside downtown
7.8/10
A good base for outdoor-minded travelers, with friendly service but rooms needing updates.
Crowne Plaza is a mid-range resort and conference hotel, not a luxury mountain retreat. It's a strong pick if you want outdoor space and easy driving access to Asheville rather than a downtown doorstep. Expedia, Booking.com and Google reviews broadly support its strengths: helpful staff, clean, comfortable rooms and pleasant grounds. Private balconies or patios, free parking, walking trails and a seasonal outdoor pool give it more appeal than a standard roadside hotel.
The main compromise is condition: several 2026 guests describe dated rooms despite praising the beds and service. Expedia also flags neighboring-building construction, while nearby I-26 Connector work complicates access around Westgate. Ask about work affecting your room before booking. Breakfast, pets and the downtown shuttle cost extra, and IHG lists pool operation only from Memorial Day to Labor Day. We'd skip it for polished interiors or a walk-everywhere city break.

Best for: Families who enjoy outdoor activities; Travelers bringing pets; Asheville visitors with a car
Watch out for: Dated room interiors; Construction and changing road access; Seasonal pool and extra-cost breakfast
Location: A short drive from downtown; nearby Westgate road changes make current directions important.
Rooms: Private balconies or patios and comfortable beds; recent guests still describe dated interiors.
Cleanliness: Generally a strength across Booking.com, Expedia and recent Google guest feedback.
Service: Friendly, helpful staff earn consistent praise across several sources.
Amenities: Seasonal outdoor pool, gym, trails, restaurant/bar and nearby adventure activities; not a luxury resort.
Fees and surprises: Parking is free; breakfast, pets and downtown shuttle cost extra; Expedia warns of neighboring construction.
