COURTYARD BY MARRIOTT ASHEVILLE, Asheville

The hotel is located near I-26, about 9 km from Biltmore Estate, within 10 minutes of downtown Asheville, and close to the Asheville Mall and numerous restaurants (Chili's, Firehouse Subs, Panera Bread, Carrabba's next door). The entrance can be confusing as it shares a parking lot with Carrabba's and sits beside other hotels. Free on-site parking is a practical advantage, though the property is up a steep hill and some find the signage hard to spot. Rideshare is the recommended way to reach downtown since no hotel shuttle is provided.

The hotel offers family rooms with 2 or 3 beds, quadruple rooms with a sofa bed, and suites with a separate living area and king bed. Most rooms are standard (no balcony), but select rooms with private balconies are available and may offer mountain views upon request. Room amenities include a tea/coffee maker, refrigerator, ironing facilities, and free Wi-Fi. Some rooms have carpeted or tiled floors, and suites also feature a pull-out sofa. Noise levels can vary due to thin walls, so rooms away from the construction areas or higher floors are advisable for light sleepers.

The Bistro is open for breakfast and dinner, offering a Starbucks menu, fresh pastries, and American dishes for breakfast, plus dinner and cocktails in a relaxed atmosphere. Breakfast is available for an additional charge (approx. $15 USD). The Bistro also accommodates special diet menus (gluten-free, dairy-free) upon request. In the evening, the bar serves wine, champagne, and cocktails, but hours can vary - call ahead to confirm the bar is open, especially on weekends. For other meals, several chain restaurants (Carrabba's, Chili's, Panera) are within walking distance or a short drive.

Leisure facilities include an indoor heated pool (open 6:00-22:00, with occupancy limited to 10 for safety), a fitness centre with free access, and free bicycle rental for exploring the area. The pool is heated to 28 °C and has a shallow end, making it suitable for families. There is no spa or jacuzzi on site. The outdoor area offers a sun terrace, outdoor fireplace, and picnic tables, providing a comfortable space to relax. For additional activities, cycling, fishing, and horse riding are available off-site for an extra charge.

Free high-speed internet is available in all rooms. Free public parking is provided on site without the need for a reservation, and accessible parking spaces are available. The front desk operates 24/7 and offers express check-in/out, a safety deposit box, and luggage storage. A guest laundry room (coin-operated) is available, with detergent and quarters supplied upon request. Daily housekeeping is complimentary, and additional services like dry cleaning or ironing can be arranged for an extra fee. The hotel also has a business centre and a minimarket on site. The property is non-smoking throughout, with designated smoking areas outside.
