Holiday Inn Express & Suites Asheville Downtown by IHG
Rooms were clean. Bathrooms are on the small side but it was fine for 2 nights. We didn't hear any road noise from our rooms. The breakfast was okay, a little less options than other Express properties we have stayed in. We would stay here again.
