The Princess Anne hotel has all the charm of a historic home. We stayed in a deluxe suite including a kitchenette in the sitting room, along with a comfy sofa, table/chairs and the only tv in the suite. My husband was a little disappointed the TV was small (~13-15") and there wasn't one in the bedroom, but we managed just fine. Our bedroom was spacious and the bed was comfy. Everything was spotless and meticulously kept. Amazing chocolate truffles were by the bed. Breakfast was served between 8:30-10am in the intimate dining room. Day 1 we enjoyed a Denver omelette, sausage, toast, & fresh fruit. Day 2 we loved the blueberry french toast souffle with bacon, which was also served w/fresh fruit. Also offered was homemade granola, yogurt & fresh fruit. We were stunned at how fresh the fruit was for the middle of November! The staff at the front desk was so helpful. They offered maps of the city, driving/parking directions and dining suggestions. They helped us make horseback riding reservations at Sandy Bottom Trails. We enjoyed wine/appetizers served in the main parlor from 4:30-6pm. The wine selection was great and accompanied w/cheeses, crackers, and fruit. It was a lovely little break at the end of the day. Buy your Biltmore Estate tickets at hotel b/f you go for the same price at the Biltmore, but the hotel tix are valid for 2 days, not 1. The staff gave us info about special events going on at the Biltmore that day and recommended the Bistro, which was an amazing experience! Overall, we enjoyed our stay at the Princess Anne and would recommend it to anyone who wants a quiet stay with privacy and many small touches of hospitality. The staff was so helpful, friendly and full of good advice. The Princess Anne is a wonderful mix of historic charm and modern conveniences with a plentitude of Southern Hospitality!

My husband and I stayed here for a week before he deployed to Iraq. We were very impressed with the service and amenities we received at such a bargain price. Rarely do you find a hotel room for $150/night that includes free wireless internet, a gourmet breakfast made from local products, and wine and cheese in the afternoon. Our room was comfortable and attractive, but we were most impressed with the value and the food!

Having stayed at a vastly unsatisfying B&B in Weaverville the night before, my traveling companion and I were thrilled and captivated by the understated elegance of the Princess Anne Hotel. A complete and utterly charming stay. The food was divine, service superior and the value - top of the line! Less per night than the Weaverville B&B, which was hard to swallow, given Princess Anne's close proximity to Asheville's downtown center, the beauty and freshness of the room, the fabulous staff and delicious food - fresh squeezed orange juice and excellent food choices! If you're planning a stay in Asheville or environs, STAY HERE!

The hotel is located in a very convenient area near downtown. It has an old world charm with new world amenities. A little less personal than other B&Bs but we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The hostesses can recommend great local eats. Also, breakfast was superb!
