Axel's take: 7.4/10
A sensible downtown base with free parking, friendly staff and rooms needing a refresh. An older, practical 3-star hotel on the edge of downtown, scored for what it is.
Four Points is an older, practical 3-star hotel whose strongest selling points are walkable downtown access and free on-site parking. It's a good pick for travelers who want to explore Asheville rather than spend much time at the hotel. Recent Expedia and Tripadvisor guests repeatedly praise the welcoming staff, and many describe clean rooms and comfortable beds. We'd choose it for convenience, not style.
The trade-off is condition: dated furnishings and tired bathroom fixtures recur across reviews. Noise from neighboring rooms, the highway and air-conditioning units also comes up, though not everyone is affected. Breakfast generally costs extra unless included in your booking. Marriott lists a gym and outdoor pool; confirm pool availability before relying on it. We'd skip it if fresh interiors or reliably quiet sleep are priorities.
