Thank you for sharing your results with the board.

I'm not too familiar with this area, but this property is in the northwest corner of the zone, and anytime you get near the outer zone boundaries you run the risk of the property not resembling the name of the zone.

Hope this works well enough for your plans, and at half price, you're happy with the outcome.

Please use these PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links to begin your travel purchases.

Enjoy your stay.

I've stayed at this property. It is definitely NOT a resort. For the price you paid, I'd say it's just fine but it's nowhere near the rating of other Crowne Plaza hotels. It's on this weird access road. It's close to downtown via car but not really walkable because there's a highway between downtown and the hotel. I'd stay here again but only if I scored a good win via Priceline. It is very clean and it was quiet when I was there.

I've also stayed at this property. It is considered a "resort", I believe, because it is located on a golf course which I've never played, but was not overly impressed with when I walked it. The rooms I've stayed in had been recently renovated and were extremely nice. Though I much prefer the Renaissance as a 3 Star win, I'd never thumb my nose at this property. Its tough to find a good priced hotel in Asheville at times, especially if you'd like to be close to the beautiful downtown area!

Regards from the Crowne Plaza Asheville Hotel.

True I also can't find any reson for "resort": the heated outside pool was dirty (many many leaves maybe just fell down today however nobody feels responsible to clean the pool on such windy days??)

Good things are: free parking, free Wifi and reasonable breakfast buffet (10,95+tax+gratuity) BUT you definetly need a car to go downtown (we just came back) which takes some "weird" curves and exits on the highway....

I can't see what was recently renovated in our room 495. Mould smell after the parfum the rooms service has used had gone. old AC under the window, old fridge, old doors, old carpet - vending machines not working, very very old noisy elevator. :)

The lobby might be 3* (restaurant with an open fire place) but the rooms and the rest is 2* nothing else! If you remember that "Crowne Plaza" Brand is one level below the "Intercontinental" at ICHotels this is a very very bad example :)
