What price range do you have in mind?
Days Inn Asheville North in the Woodfin area
(3 Reynolds Mountain Blvd, I-26 & Hwy 19/23 Exit 23
Phone: 828-645-9191, about four miles north of
Asheville) is a bit under $100 a night for a
nice room, breakfast included. I've stayed there
twice and been very pleased. It's not exactly cheap,
but it's a lot less than downtown Asheville.
