The hotel sits in east Asheville with easy highway access, within walking distance of Root Bar Number One (0.5 km) and Arby's (0.5 km). Downtown Asheville and the Blue Ridge Parkway are a short drive away. While the immediate area is convenient by car, sidewalks are limited so walking to nearby businesses is not practical. Parking is free and private, though the lot can fill up late at night. The hotel's position makes it a practical base for visiting the Biltmore Estate and local concert venues.

In-room amenities include a flat-screen TV with cable/satellite, microwave, refrigerator, tea and coffee facilities, ironing equipment, hairdryer, and free toiletries. While some units have been described as spacious, others are compact and the property shows its age with dated furniture and carpeted floors. Jacuzzi suites are available and are noted for being spacious and clean. Rooms are accessible via external corridors; the property has no lift. Requesting a ground-floor room ahead of time is recommended for those with mobility concerns.
