Much of the interior was dated. And the cable tv did not work well. Other than that it was definitely a place I would stay again. I felt safe as a woman traveling alone. It was close walking distance to many shops and restaurants downtown.

Great hotel and great location

We had a great stay at the Downtown Inn. The location was perfect and within walking distance of so many places to visit. The room was clean and had a great view of the mountains. The price made it worth it too. We would stay here again.

If the only thing you care about is location, then this place is great. But if you want some space or light or a decor that doesn't scream 1960's motel, then this place probably won't cut it for you. I don't remember how it was advertised but I guess I never expected a motel room from Vrbo.

A place to put your head down

It's a motel near a decent amount of walkable places in downtown Asheville. Parking was not good. They have one lot in the front which is tiny, but free. The parking lot behind them is paid parking. They have a breakfast, but its basically 3 bland cereals or a bagel. It was a place to put our head down for the night.

Room was freezing

The heat was insufficient for the tiny room. After asking for a space heater and sitting in the room with our winter coats on for an hour, we had to leave and find a different hotel. It was miserable!

The place needs some TLC. The lobby was not very inviting having construction things all over the place plus the clothes/luggage carts were visible next to the elevator.

Great location

This is an old hotel in the renovation process with outside entry to the rooms, but there were current security systems in place for access. The room was fine, basic, clean. The VRBO listing said 1 bedroom 1 bath sleeps 4, so I assumed there was a pullout couch. But it was just a king bed. There were 2 of us, it worked out. The great thing was the location, the walkable access to all of downtown. It was noisy tho, right on Patton.
