Country Inn & Suites by Radisson, Asheville at Asheville Outlet Mall, NC

This family-friendly hotel is a typical Country Inn & Suites, with a welcoming front porch with cushioned rocking chairs, a wicker sofa, and hanging plant baskets. The lobby is cozy and homey, with free chocolate chip cookies, apples, and coffee available around the clock. A seating area with a sofa and lounge chairs provides a nice spot for guests to gather in front of the fireplace and live plants enhance the home-like atmosphere. Families tend to hang out at the little outdoor pool when the weather is good, and plenty of couples make their way to this hotel as well. 

The spacious rooms have tasteful decor with dark wood furnishings and earth-tone color schemes accented by pops of red. Beds have white comforters and sharp, dark wood headboards, and simple landscape prints hang on the stylish mustard brown accent wall. Brown patterned carpets cover the floors and all rooms have desks with plush leather business chairs. Each room has air-conditioning, a microwave, mini-fridge, coffeemaker, 40-inch flat-screen TV, and free Wi-Fi. Suites have a bedroom with a king or two queen beds and a separate living area with a sofa bed. Some suites have a two-person hot tub in the bathroom, though in some cases the hot tub is right in the living area. Bathrooms are spacious and standard, with tiled floors and large granite vanities plus shower/tub combos in most rooms. Toiletries are provided. Some guests have noted noise from the busy road outside

There is an outdoor pool between the building and the parking lot, but it is small and the four lounge chairs barely fit on the side deck. Kids don't seem to mind its limitations, though, and it's a fine enough place to cool off in the summer. The free Be Our Guest Breakfast offers eggs, bacon, oatmeal, omelets, waffles, yogurt, cereal, breads, juices, and coffee. Free coffee and chocolate chip cookies are available in the lobby 24/7. The Read It and Return Lending Library features a variety of books for all ages. The computer station has a printer and fax machine available for guests at all hours. The small fitness center has a treadmill, elliptical machine, stationary bike, a weight machine, and flat-screen TV. Wi-Fi is free throughout the hotel, and parking is also free, though RVs and trucks are not allowed.
