We enjoyed our stay for the most part. The bed had one of the most comfortable mattresses we’ve ever slept on and we enjoyed being able to walk to the coffee shop down the street, as well as the easy access to the art district, and the parking garage connected to the hotel. We named the upstairs tenant “Thunderfoot” because whoever was up there was either extremely heavy footed or the floor was extremely thin. We also stayed on a weekend and could hear the live music next door but they stopped playing around 10 or 11pm, so it wasn’t that big of an issue.

The rooms are very clean, updated, and modern. The rooms has a washer and dryer and a kitchenette. The pictures are how the rooms really look. The only issue that I have is the parking. There is limited street parking. Most likely will have to park in their parking garage, but its a charge of $20 per day. Would stay again though.

This was a really great option for staying in the River Arts District. It was also extremely close to East Asheville and Downtown. The room was spacious, clean and modern. We got a room that had both a full kitchen and laundry in the room. There is no front desk service overnight, but that was not an issue for us.

While the unit itself was excellent, including in unit laundry, the location was not desirable. It was well outside of downtown, near very poor areas. Located next to a nightclub that played at very high volumes. No free breakfast or even coffee. Parking garage was secure, but at $20 per night.

We found The Artful Way online and decided to give it a try. We were greeted at the door by a lovely woman with a bright smile. Check-in was seamless. The hotel is located at the top of a hill. We were given directions to the parking garage that is located behind the building. It was easy to find. Parking costs $20, which is cheaper than many hotels we have stayed at. The room is very spacious. It is an apartment size. Full kitchen that is stocked well, a big shower, and a full size washer and dryer in the bathroom. Shampoo, conditioner, body wash, and laundry pods are provided. The bed is very comfortable. There is a desk and dining area as well. The room is clean and bright. The outdoor fire pit area is calm and relaxing. It is within walking distance to New Belgium Brewery and other breweries, art stores, and restaurants. We have truly enjoyed our stay at Artful Way.

The hotel itself was fine, pretty standard hotel and everything was clean. The room had a full kitchen and a washer and drier, I think maybe this hotel caters to more long term stays. Our room was overlooking the Grey Eagle (music venue bar next door) and we could hear music until 3 AM. It was so loud and disruptive, I am shocked that other reviews haven’t mentioned this! This definitely ruined the stay for us.

The room size and decore were wonderful. We really wanted to enjoy our stay, and felt like the hotel was great upon arrival. Unfortunately, things changed. The most distressing thing was the shower was tiled improperly and caused water to flow freely into the bathroom and out into the room! I mitigated the water with towels, and quickly told the person working the desk. She said, “Yeah, we know about that.” And made a sad face. I wasn’t feeling confrontational so we just showered with all the towels on the floor and threw them into the dryer each day. We couldn’t relax during a shower due to the crazy situation. They didn’t offer a different room, and obviously were fine with us putting up with it. Then upon returning home we discovered they charged us separately after we booked on Expedia.
They are not a competent hotel, and they are not good with customer service. No one was rude, but they certainly didn’t care about our experience.

Overall super impressed with this newly built hotel. The decor is bright and fun, and the amenities are great. We didn't need to use the washer/dryer or the kitchen for this short trip, but they are impressively convenient for longer stays. The beds were comfortable, and the bathroom was attractive and functional.
A couple notes I could mention:
The address on file just gets you to the road, not the front of the hotel, so arriving required a quick phone call to the front desk. Easily rectified, but I would recommend double checking the address before heading up the hill.
The hotel is located in the river arts district, which is a great location! But also a noisy one. Half the hotel faces the main road, so late night noise can definitely be heard from the rooms.
The parking garage is connected to the building, but the access point is on the back side, so it requires driving all the way around the block to get in. Once we knew the path it was easy, but it made check in a bit lengthier than we expected.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will definitely put it on our list to return to on our next Asheville trip. We just might request a room on the back side away from the nightlife. :)
Great stay!

Highly recommend for a spot that's dead in the center of West Ashville (local vibe) and downtown! Hotel was great and clean and plenty of space for the price, if I had one critique it would be that there was no shower products in the room and I hadn't brought my own.
