We're traveling to Ashville, NC for a cousins wedding and need a hotel to stay in that will be close to the Grove Park Inn. I'd prefer something $130 or less. I thought I"d ask the refupeas if they have any recommendations. TIA!

Depending on the time of year that might be tough.
I would HIGHLY recommend The Princess Anne Hotel... it can run around $130 or up to $300. Its close to the GPI
There are a lot of bed and Breakfast near the Grove Park Inn, there is also a small hotel called the Albemarle I don't know the price but it cute and close.
My daughter stayed with her dad at The Posh Hotel... it was more like an apartment and he said it was reasonable.It is near the Biltmore so about 10-15 mins away from the Grove Park.
I would check out Air BnB!!
I know about most hotels in the area... and price varies hugely based on time of year... feel free to send me a PM.. I used to work at Biltmore and know some ways to get better hotel deals!!

Check out the Brookstone Lodge. DH and I have stayed there a couple of times...really nice and very reasonable. About 15-20 min from the Grove Park Inn. |

Check out the Holiday Inn-Biltmore East and the Country Inn & Suites on Old Haywood Road. I can't vouch for their proximity to the Grove Park Inn, but I've been searching for a place for a July stay as well and both of these hotels have great reviews and seem to be a good value.

Since I'm originally from the Asheville area & still have family there, the only hotels I've personally stayed in are GPI & the Inn on Biltmore Estate. Visitors typically choose accommodations in Biltmore (e.g. Grand Bohemian Hotel, Biltmore Village Inn, Doubletree, Biltmore Village Lodge) or downtown (e.g. Renaissance) due to fine dining & boutique shopping within walking distance. The Biltmore area is approximate 5 miles from GPI, while downtown is only 2 miles. Traffic is heavy during peak tourist seasons, so the commute will likely take double the time expected from either area (plan ~25-30 minutes from Biltmore & 15-20 from downtown).
Another option is staying ~15 miles from GPI (~30 minute commute) near the Asheville Airport (e.g. Fairfield Inn) with lower hotel rates, chain restaurants (e.g. Olive Garden, Moes), & big box shopping (e.g. Target, Marshalls, Old Navy).
HTH & have a safe & fun trip!

Check out the hotels near Asheville Mall.
Be careful.. every hotel says they are near the Biltmore!
Honestly in July traffic won't be an issue. Unless you are from a small town Asheville's traffic is never bad!!

Unless you are from a small town Asheville's traffic is never bad!! Although originally from a small town in the Asheville area, it's because I've lived in NYC & Charlotte that I mention Asheville traffic during peak tourist season. Traffic moves s-l-o-w-l-y around Biltmore, uptown, & the Asheville Mall. These areas are filled with walkers, roads that are poorly planned &/or marked with frequent traffic lights, unfamiliar drivers that get lost, slow-paced residents, & traffic that does not flow well! Although hotels with lower rates (e.g. near the airport) are several miles further from GPI, the commute may take the same amount of time as from hotels in touristy areas (e.g. Biltmore, uptown). Hope this information allows the OP, regardless where she lives, to compare her hotel choices & find the best fit for her family/budget. |

I live in the area and travel from Biltmore area to near the GPI every day.. and other than during the fall peak season the roads are never bad.. |
