Zelda Dearest is charming in every way. Walking into the building feels like coming home. The room was well stocked, delightfully decorated and incredibly comfortable. The staff was above and beyond lovely to interact with and very helpful. The location is an easy walk to downtown. I cannot say enough positive things about our stay.
The room is better than the pictures
In a great location .walk to restaursnts and shops .
The breakfast was delicious and all people that worked there were very nice .
We woukd definitely return.
Everything about this hotel went above and beyond our expectations! It operates more like a bed and breakfast. Each room is uniquely decorated and housed in a historic house. We stayed in the Rosalind, which is the one with the bar and breakfast room. The place was immaculate, the bed was incredibly comfortable, the location was absolutely perfect- just one block from the famous Orange Peel music venue and an easy walk to everything downtown. The breakfast really went above and beyond, with fresh pastries, frittatas, and fresh juice and coffee. And the entire staff was extremely nice and welcoming. Highly suggest the Zelda dearest!

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
Staff was very friendly and the property is amazing. Great location with walkable restaurants nearby also, and quick drive to Biltmore. Highly recommend.
Our room was located right over the maintenance area. Didn't get much last night there because of the garage door opening and closing, and all the noises with maintenance area beneath us.
This place was beautiful, clean, lovely furnishings, great location close to restaurants, etc. Drinks at the cocktail lounge were great as well! I would definitely stay again.
I loved everything about this hotel! So much charm and character. The staff were friendly and helpful. The property was very well maintained and our room was immaculate. I will definitely staff here again.
Perfect. Well done. Better than expected. Near really great restaurant! Could not have asked for more. Seating, bedding, double sinks, lotions, pillows, two tv screens, private entrance, comforts everywhere. Really exceptional. (No elevator)
