The hotel room was a little used and old—you could see through a crack in the door when the door was shut, but the staff was unbelievably kind and the southern supper was extremely helpful for this trip.

I loved the biscuits, gravy and scrambled eggs served each morning. Plus the coffee! There were other options but this was realky good..and the free Southern Supper served EVERY night was a nice surprise! My bed was very comfortable, i had plenty of towels, and my room was perfect for me with plenty of space. My room location was very easy to get to and I felt very fortunate getring the room I did. The hotel location was perfect for seeing all of the sights in the area.

We absolutely loved staying here! The staff was so welcoming and friendly. They asked how we liked our room which made us feel very special and welcome. We chose a mountain view room and it was breathtaking! The view is from below. The mountain The dining space is really pretty. We enjoyed the southern supper and the breakfast. We journey into nearby Canton and found a farmers market and a restaurant called Southern Porch, which was nice. There was also a brewery in town, but it was shut down from the flood. This was just a stop over for us on the way to Greenville, South Carolina, but we felt like it was a little vacation all in itself.

Our room had mold in the shower and on the bed skirt. It was so old and just disgusting. The toilet wouldn't flush if there was toilet paper in it so we started having to put our toilet paper in the trash can. When we turned on the shower mud came out. I've never seen anything like it. It was like that room hadn't been used in forever. I would normally say you get what you pay for but this room was $138 for one night. For that much this shouldn't have been our experience. I told the front desk at checkout about the mold and she said well I can give you an oops card. Which is just 35% off of your next stay at the locations listed on the card. Just ridiculous. Not only will I never stay at this particular Days inn I will never stay at any Days inn ever again.

The room was a little distance from the check in area. Staff was nice. No cold water in the sink, only hot water which meant we had to get water from tub to brush our teeth. Breakfast was a joke, scrambled eggs with a biscuit and gravy served by a man who fussed that I was not allowed to take the breakfast from dining area to my sick wife in the room. I have never seen Breakfast not being self served before. I will never visit again because of the disappointment.

The best stay with a kick butt supper!

I’ve been on the road for 2 weeks and this hotel has been the best stay this whole trip!! The staff was great, the room was awesome, and the free supper was unbelievable, soooooo good - beef stew & sweet corn. The stew was full of succulent tender meat. What a treat!!! The woman serving it was so genuine. Breakfast was good too. Great place, great energy.

Room was dirty under beds dust left overs from other guests...mold around ac unit...killed several spiders in our room #243...the breakfast they made was good but was repeated every morning - that was a big bummer- we have stayed here several times and never experienced it this way ..staff was nice to us-no issues with any of them :) Just VERY disappointed in our room with the dirty floors and the toilet as well was we thought gonna go thru the floor-loose tile as well in front of it....didn't have the time to invest in looking for another place or I would have... wasn't worth the money we paid there anymore....didn't take photos unfortunately but I can say I have NEVER complained about this place and was excited to return to it but in the end disappointed...

This is an amazing location for a hotel. When you pull in it is inviting curb appeal at the main office but lacks clear signage at check in. The process was easy online but don’t bother doing it as you will have to repeat it all in person. Also while it maybe a cute quaint location and an appeal you walk in and there is Covid plexiglass and safety glass everywhere. I get staff safety is important and would not wish ill will but it felt like I was at an inner city hotel not a days inn. The whole place has a feel of we are in the throes of not knowing what to do with this property.

Then there was the actual room. The entry door was so un square that there was almost an inch gap from one side to the other. It took a shoulder to door to get in and another shoulder to close. You had to lift to get it to lock!

The beds appeared very clean and comfortable. And they were comfortable! My travel mate however woke up with numerous bug bites like I counted 14 on one arm alone. She was in a seperate bed and I do not have any but they are suspicious for bed bugs. This is an observation not an accusation.

The overall conditions of the room were that of an old well used hotel room but it needs some serious TLC. Paint was chipped in many places but walls themselves were intact. Near the sink it looked like blood specs on wall.

The TV wouldn’t work fooled with cables and the power the power source above night stand would spark when used.

Run out of room to write but NOT OK

This is a throwback to a different time. I regret booking this hotel. Whatever money I saved, it wasn't worth it. It's just a really old building, with thin windows and noisy AC units. First time i used the chain on the door in several years. The AC was set to 61 when we arrived. Too cold to even be comfortable. So cold that when you shut it off, any humidity you brought in upon arrival now dews up and dampens everything.
The breakfast was... food. I chose dry toast. They don't even have anything resembling butter. It's not self serve. They kept the biscuits and gravy behind a server.
The most unacceptable aspect was having the pool close at 8PM. To me, this means you just don't care about guests with children. I can look past old buildings and cheap owners. The pool is unsupervised and costs nothing. Why close so early? That's borderline false advertising.

first 2 rooms were not cleaned. Beds were staged to look like sheets were changed but first room the bed was covered in dogs and human hair and second room 1 bed was full of food crumbs and the other was just dirty with obvious dirty foot prints. Both rooms, the sinks and bathtubs were not cleaned with toothpaste and hair still in them. At first I was told it would be $10 to move rooms and I stated the lack of cleanliness was not our fault, and I asked at least for clean sheets. Front desk stated that housekeeping had left and she didn't have access. so we were then given the 2nd room (which was just as bad as the first). We were prepared to leave if the 3rd room was also bad, but at least the sheets were fresh, even though there was still debris behind the bathroom door and a decent amount of hair in the tub. We were tired though so just stayed since we were only going be there long enough to sleep. The front desk staff was apologetic though and stated they were embarrassed by the situation. The manager gave us a future stay discount card, for hotels in areas not in our radar to ever use, so won't do us much good. And we wont be staying there again. Manager explained they had new housekeeping...but that should not have ever been that bad, as someone was not training or inspecting the 'new' housekeeper's work. The only saving grace of the place was the breakfast attendant was very nice.

We stayed here for a softball tournament and weren't looking for anything fancy, but the hotel is outdated and not clean. The walls in the bathroom looked like they had dried boogers and other stuff on them behind the door and by the toilet. A storm knocked the power out for over 5 hours, the ice machine didn't work, our outside door looked like someone tried to kick it in, and the ac didn't work very well at all. The cost of the room was $180 w/tax and it wasn't worth it by far, if I could've changed hotels I would've and I have never felt that way about any hotel I have stayed at before.

I rented the room for my sister, who had been assaulted and robbed, unfortunately they would not let her check in due to no physical copy of her stolen ID card, she did have a photo, so they literally said that she could sleep in the street and not in the paid for room, additionally, they will not refund the money for the room.

This motel is NOT located in Asheville or West Asheville. It’s located 15 minutes away in Canton. I was booking last minute while my husband and I were driving and went by the name description of “Asheville West.”
Overall it’s just a dingy little motel. People hanging out on the balconies smoking and then tossing the cigarette butts into the parking lot/workway below. The price being relatively high and the low quality combined with the complete lie about location in the name is why I’ve rated the hotel so low.
