Econo Lodge Biltmore

Budget-Friendly Comfort Near the Heart of Asheville's Music Scene

Econo Lodge Biltmore is a no-frills, budget-friendly hotel located just off Tunnel Road in Asheville. With clean, simple rooms and a convenient location just 2.1 miles from Harrah's Cherokee Center, this lodge is a smart pick for music fans looking for good value and easy access to downtown venues.

Guests enjoy free WiFi, complimentary parking, and a continental breakfast to help start the day after a night out. With the Biltmore Estate just under 6 miles away and Asheville Regional Airport a 20-minute drive, it’s a well-placed home base for exploring the city before or after the show.

Why Concert-goers love it

Its close proximity to Harrah’s Cherokee Center (just a 5-minute drive) makes Econo Lodge Biltmore a practical pick for concert nights. While it’s not located in the thick of downtown buzz, that means quieter nights for recovery after a loud show. With easy highway access, late-night rideshares are no problem, and the 3:00 PM check-in gives you time to settle in before doors open.

Who this Hotel is great for

• Groups of friends looking for a budget stay close to the action
• Solo travelers catching a dream tour stop
• Couples planning a low-key weekend with a show
• Fans who prefer peace and quiet after the encore
• Budget-conscious music lovers who prioritize location and price

Food and Drink Options

While Econo Lodge Biltmore doesn’t have an on-site restaurant, guests appreciate the included continental breakfast—a great perk after a late night. The hotel’s Tunnel Road location puts you within walking or short driving distance of several casual eateries and fast food options that stay open late. For heartier fare, downtown Asheville is just minutes away.

Nightlife Options

Though the hotel itself doesn’t offer live music or a bar, the vibrant nightlife of downtown Asheville is easily accessible. From late-night bars to craft breweries and intimate venues, you're never far from the action. It’s a smart choice if you want to party downtown but sleep somewhere quiet.

What People Say

Guests on Booking.com and TripAdvisor often mention the hotel’s clean rooms, friendly staff, and great value. Many concert-goers say it’s the perfect spot for a quick overnight stay, especially when attending events at Harrah’s Cherokee Center or downtown clubs.

Areas for Improvement

This is a budget hotel, so don’t expect luxury. Some guests note that the décor is a bit dated and there’s no elevator, which might be inconvenient for those with lots of luggage. Still, it's clean, consistent, and reliable for the price.

The Bottom Line

If you’re looking for an affordable, no-fuss place to crash after the show, Econo Lodge Biltmore delivers solid value just minutes from Asheville’s top concert venues.
