Hotels

This Fairfield Inn or Courtyard are fairly reasonably priced for the area, get good reviews, and are located within easy driving distance of both the conference site and lots of eating/shopping options.

This Hilton is a bit more mid-range in price, but it is located in Biltmore Park, which is a fun "town square" that is about 8 minutes from the church and has plenty of eating and shopping within walking distance.

This final one is a higher price-point, but if you want to turn this into a special weekend away, Omni Grove Park is an Asheville classic.
