- "We upgraded to a suite, plenty of room, 3 thermostats so never hot or cold in any part of the suite. Nice bar, nice pastry breakfast with huge pastries, fruit, yogurt, etc. Very friendly staff. Rooms renovated to modern fixtures, while the outside was 100+ years old. In the heart of the breweries too." - "Loved everything about the property. From the moment I checked in until I left I was so comfortable and taken care of. I loved being able to send a quick text to ask a simple question and receiving such a prompt response. The ladies that checked me in were great and helpful. My room was comfortable and clean. I felt safe as a solo female traveler and loved the convenient parking. This has easily become one of my favorite places to stay in the entire state of NC. The location is also fabulous. 10/10"

- "The Restoration is one of the nicest hotels we have stayed in. The location of the hotel is perfect, within walking distance of all the downtown restaurants and shops and a short drive away from the River Arts district and the Biltmore Estate. The hotels are pricier in this area but, if you want to stay in downtown Asheville, The Restoration is worth the splurge. The front desk staff was welcoming and helpful. The hotel is lovely, immaculately clean and the rooms are very comfortable, but, it also has some added touches that really impressed us. There is an area in the lobby that provides not just filtered water but also sparking water.The wine and charcuterie provided at 5:00 in the lobby was very nice but even nicer was the fact that when one person in our party who does not drink alcohol went to the bar to purchase a soft drink, there was no charge. A breakfast basket is delivered to your room each morning with food that can be eaten in your room or packed for later when you are out and about. The rooms come with an actual coffee maker and high quality, locally sourced ground coffee so you can brew delicious coffee in your room. All these little things add up and very much enhanced our stay. Our overall impression was that the hotel truly prioritizes the guest experience."

- "Love that the Inn Keepers were so engaged. Ed was friendly and informative. It was like having an onsite historian! The history of the Inn itself is incredible. One of the biggest unexpected perks was that you could walk to everything! It was our 1st visit but it will not be our last!" - "Really nice place to stay, the view from the balcony is lovely and so refreshing with goldfinch and red cardinals in the trees. The room is comfortable with coffee and some breakfast foods provided. I walked down to the local bar for food and everyone knew each other and were so lovely. On the walk back from the bar i saw firefly’s and some small frogs in the nearby pond. Ed and Shirley were lovely and there was a cute cat that came and sat with me in the morning.
