Guests generally enjoyed their stay at the hotel, praising its central location, cleanliness, and friendly staff. The rooftop bar was a popular feature, offering great views and a nice atmosphere. However, some guests had issues with the comfort of the beds and the noise level, either from nearby nightclubs or emergency vehicle sirens.

Stayed 3 nights at this hotel, and was very pleased. The room was a nice size, and my wife had enough space for all her makeup in the bathroom. A great bar with indoor and outdoor seating. One of the things I really appreciated was that you could get a nice cup of complimentary coffee. I really get annoyed when I pay the rates hotels are now charging, and then want to charge you another 6 bucks for a cup of coffee. May not be a big deal to many, but it is a return to when nicer hotels offered this, so Kudos to Marriott. I will continue to use this hotel.

Spacious bright room. Roof top bar area great. Bartender did not want to help us. We were only having tea and he couldn’t be bothered. It was early and not crowded so no reason for this. Had some difficulty on check in but maybe just new staff.

The location is the standout feature of this hotel. It is walking distance from the French Broad Chocolate shop, which made for a lovely nightcap each evening. Beyond that, the room itself was clean and check-in was straightforward. The elevator is absurdly slow and shared among hotel guests, staff, and people using the parking garage on the lower floors, resulting in long, frustrating waits. There are no reserved parking spots for hotel guests either, so on busy evenings we had to pay for valet parking. Housekeeping also left a lot to be desired; at one point, the room cleaner threw away an unfinished lotion bottle and never replaced it. The hotel bar was another disappointment. For something marketed as a hotel amenity, the hours are surprisingly limited, and it is not even open during the afternoon, which defeats the purpose entirely.

The staff is super nice and professional but actual amenities were non existent. Awful pillows. Head falls right through. Neither of us were able to get more than a couple hours sleep a night. Asked for replacements that’s just what they use though. WiFi super poor and their tv took 2-3 mins to load any content then would need to buffer constantly throughout.

Our room was clean, quiet, and well-designed with everything you need and nothing you don’t. The bed was extremely comfortable, the water pressure was great, and the views from the higher floors are excellent. The parking garage was convenient and easy to access. The 9th-floor restaurant/bar is a highlight — great atmosphere, beautiful nighttime city views, and solid food and drink options. It’s the perfect place to unwind after walking around town. Also a big plus: the hotel is dog-friendly, and there’s a convenient area nearby to walk your dog without any hassle. Overall, AC Hotel Asheville delivered exactly what a modern downtown hotel should: comfort, style, great service, and a perfect location. We’ll absolutely stay here again on our next trip to Asheville.

Great hotel option for downtown Asheville. Easy walk to dining and bars. The staff at this location were amazing - so helpful, friendly, and happy to be there. I call this out because it was so refreshing! Our room was spotless and almost sterile which is great for a pet friendly hotel. Parking was easy as well. The nice touch award was the eucalyptus shower steamer pod available in the morning! Will come back.

Two elevators to manage parking levels, staff service / housekeeping etc and Guest floors including a public restaurant. Whoever thought that would be acceptable is a clown. Build out an elevator in one corner of the parking structure to handle parking floors and the lobby, that will help at least.

Super friendly with immediately after check in gave me an upgraded room. The room was one of my he best we’ve stayed in. The housekeeping was so friendly too and also the rooftop bar server was great also. This hotel has a great staff it was my birthday so definitely a Perfect day😊

I did not like that I got a separate charge for parking at the end of my stay. I assumed (I guess incorrectly) that parking was included because I was a hotel guest. I would have rather paid more for the room slightly and had parking included. It feels like you’re getting a hotel perk. Also the toilet paper was gas station quality. For a nice, 4 star hotel I expect higher quality. However, I enjoyed my stay, as a whole, it was nice, clean and a good atmosphere.

Not what i expected from a comfort standpoint. No pool. Otherwise.... top notch hotel. Rooftop bar and restaurant was nice with good food at a reasonable price.
