GLO HOTEL ASHEVILLE-BLUE RIDGE PARKWAY, Asheville

The hotel sits on Tunnel Road, a short drive from the Asheville Mall and several chain restaurants (Chick-fil-A, Neo Burrito, Tap Haus within 1-2 km). It is about 20-25 minutes from Asheville Regional Airport. The location is car-dependent - little is walkable - but the free ART bus system provides a reliable connection to downtown. Those visiting the Folk Art Center (5 km) or the Blue Ridge Parkway will find a convenient base. An Uber to downtown costs around $10 off-peak.

Rooms are available as spacious doubles with one king bed or quadruples with two queen beds. All rooms feature a mini-fridge and a Keurig coffee maker; two-queen rooms also include a microwave while king rooms do not. Bathrooms have walk-in showers with glass doors and built-in dispensers for shampoo, conditioner, and body wash. Standard king rooms have walk-in showers (not fully accessible); accessible rooms have a roll-in shower. Bathtubs are only available in two-queen accessible rooms. Some rooms offer forest views from upper floors, but there are no balconies. Air conditioning is effective, and the modern decor is generally well-maintained. Light sleepers may be affected by HVAC and mini-fridge noise. Beds receive mixed feedback on hardness: many find them comfortable while others note they are soft or lumpy. The rooms are non-smoking and family-friendly.

Breakfast is included for all guests and offers a variety of options: eggs, sausage, biscuits and gravy, oatmeal, pancakes (including a pancake maker), yogurt, fresh fruit, pastries, muffins, bagels, and cereals. Coffee, juice, and tea are provided. For a lighter option, grab-and-go bags are also available. The breakfast area is spacious and well-stocked, with attentive staff. Several chain restaurants (Chick-fil-A, Neo Burrito, India Garden) are within a 2-minute drive for other meal options. There is no restaurant or bar on site.

The heated indoor pool is open daily from 10:00 to 23:00 and is popular with families. Capacity may be limited to 5 people at a time, and the heater has been known to stop working, so it is wise to confirm the pool is fully functional before arrival. There is no hot tub, jacuzzi, or spa. The fitness centre is equipped with a Peloton bike and TVs. An outdoor fireplace is available on the property.

Free private parking is available on site with no reservation needed, and an electric vehicle charging station is provided.
