Room was great and upgraded. Excellent turn down service. Food at cafe was excellent. Spa experience needs to be improved- quiet areas aren’t quiet, bring your swimsuit because they don’t tell everyone to do that and you miss out on amenities and massage therapist was heavy handed despite corrections.

We are frequent guests at the Umstead. It is one of the best hotel/spas where we have ever spent time. Very professional staff, clean, well decorated, beautiful grounds with walking paths. Heron’s restaurant is on Forbes best rated list. Well worth the price of admission!
