Smoky Falls Lodge
The food in the restaurant was absolutely excellent, in fact if I had to find one fault with the room it would probably be the TV channels. Local channels would’ve been nice especially for the news

Holiday Inn Asheville Biltmore by IHG
The parking area ppeared to be safe. A left turn out of the hotel driveway onto the busy road is very difficult due to the dense bushes and curve of the road, creating a blind spot. But , the back entrance is much better.
