Best Western Asheville-Blue Ridge Parkway
By the Top3Hotels editorial team. Based on Booking.com guest scores and reviews, location data and reference prices. We did not stay at this hotel. Updated 2026-10-24.
Best Western Asheville-Blue Ridge Parkway is a fair booking for road-trippers who want free parking, a pool and a hot breakfast for about half the price of our other Asheville picks. Light sleepers and anyone without a car should look elsewhere, because walls are thin and the sights in our data are far on foot.

This 3-star hotel suits drivers, families and travellers on a budget who mostly need a base for day trips. It lists free parking, a pool, a gym, family rooms, free Wi-Fi and air conditioning, and it is tagged as pet friendly. Guests rate it 8.3 out of 10 from 1,441 reviews.
Guests like the short drive to downtown and to the Blue Ridge Parkway, with easy highway access. If your plan is to drive out each morning, that matters more than a central address.
Light sleepers should be careful. The main complaint is thin walls that let in noise from neighbours and adjacent staircases.
Location and getting around
The address is 501 Tunnel Road, Asheville. Guests give the location 8.7 out of 10.
The Basilica of St. Lawrence, Asheville is about 3.8 km away, roughly 48 minutes on foot. The Omni Grove Park Inn is about 4.5 km, around 56 minutes. Both are far, so plan on a car, a taxi or public transport. These are unverified straight-line estimates.
Our data does not confirm transport stops near the hotel. In practice this is a drive-in property, and the free parking is part of the appeal.
What guests say
Breakfast earns warm comments. Guests list hot and cold options including eggs, biscuits, gravy, sausage, yogurt and fresh fruit. The location also scores with guests for its short drive to downtown and the Blue Ridge Parkway.
On the negative side, soundproofing is weak. Guests report hearing neighbours and people on nearby staircases through the walls.
Price and how it compares with our other two picks
Reference prices seen for a 2-night stay in November 2026 for 2 adults put this hotel at about €81.60 per night, roughly €163 for the two nights. That was 39% below the sample median of €133.41. These are not live quotes, so check today's price for your dates.
Our Best Value pick, Embassy Suites By Hilton Asheville Downtown, is a 4-star with a 9.2 score at about €155.33 a night. Our Luxury pick, Cambria Hotel Downtown Asheville, scored 9.1 at about €154.61 a night. On those dates the Luxury pick was slightly cheaper than the Best Value one, so compare both if you can spend more.
Choosing the Best Western saves you around €73 a night. The tradeoff is a lower score, thinner walls and a location outside downtown.
Why it made our top 3
We compared 10 hotels in Asheville. Our Budget slot goes to the lowest eligible reference price once the upscale choice is set aside, and this hotel took it at €81.60. Its review score ranks joint 9th of 10, near the bottom of the group, so it earns its place on price and practical facilities rather than on score.
Before you book
Room size, noise, renovation condition, breakfast inclusion and cancellation terms have not been assessed. Given the noise comments, ask for a room away from stairs. Check whether breakfast is in your rate, and confirm pool hours for November. Pet owners should confirm fees and rules in advance.
