Hotel Best Western Asheville-Blue Ridge Parkway (Asheville, USA)

The dog friendly Best Western of Asheville Biltmore East is located just a few minutes from both Interstate 240, the entrance to the Blue Ridge Parkway, downtown Asheville, restaurants and the Asheville Mall. The Biltmore Estate mansion is about two miles (3.2km) away, while the Azalea dog park is a 10 minute drive away.

Although the outside looks like it could use some updating, most rooms are clean and spacious and comfortable. Some are motel-style rooms and some are hotel-style and a few even have a Jacuzzi. A complimentary hot and cold breakfast is included.

Staff at the Best Western of Asheville Biltmore East are friendly and accommodating, while the motel is one of the best budget-priced hotels in the area.

The parking lot to the motel is directly off a four-lane thoroughfare, right after a bend in the road, making it a bit difficult to find on the first attempt.

Traffic can be heard all night in rooms closest to the main road. Some guests said the walls were thin and it was easy to hear the ice machine being used in the hallway, people talking in the rooms next door, or to be awoken if any dogs staying in nearby rooms barked.

A number of guests who stayed in the older rooms complained that their mattress was too hard, the pillows were not comfortable and that the décor was old and dingy. Some also alleged their room carpets were not vacuumed throughout their stay.
