This property is well beyond needing a remodel, it should probably be torn down. This is because it is so functionally obsolete that it would be more economical to replace the existing structure. While clean and comfortable, it just cannot get away from the fact it can’t compete with modern properties. It is an abomination that they charge premium rates for a run down obsolete property without a working pool or decent bar or restaurant. Anyone who travels knows that this place thinks it’s still in its glory days of the 1980’s. It is not. Everyone I talked with felt the same, disappointed, surprised at the price and are not coming back.

We liked its proximity to downtown, and the bed was very comfortable. The HVAC unit in the room was on the border of being too noisy, and the bar was lacking basic mixtures for cocktails.

Not as nice as other renaissance hotels but good enough. Elevators were horribly slow, not sure if they were being worked on. This spot doesn’t use Aveda which I would expect. Very walkable to downtown.

The representative when i checked in was very nice. The waittress for breakfast was sweet as can be. The food nothing to write home about. No non pork options. Runny eggs and funny tasting hashbrowns. Mybed seemed to be broke on one side. If you sat on the side it was like squating to stand up. The ac was not keeping the room cool. The tub did not drain. I was told could do late checkout and pay an extra 10.00 per hour after 12 till 4pm. Worked great since my daughter had a track meet starting at 4. I said i would do that in the am in case anything changed. Went to do that and was told no. Not possible. Explained i was told it would not be an issue and the lady was just like sorry not happening. Overall not a normal experience from this brand. Must just be the area

Disappointed

Honestly I read the reviews prior and was excited. I found the $25 per night fee for parking was excessive. If I am renting a room I expect parking to be included. Maybe increase your room price instead of adding extra charges. I booked a city view my room really was just overlooking their parking lot. We had to leave early Sunday morning and was told there was no coffee until 7:00 am. Staff told us to use the in room coffee machines which I find gross. Most hotels offer coffee as early as 5 or 6 am. I booked this hotel because they had a restaurant. However, the dinner menu is really a lunch menu...sandwiches. We were too tired to go outside the hotel. Food was decent though but was hoping for a real dinner menu. Overall not the quality I was hoping for. Hope they do better in the future. Would not be my choice for a hotel when in Asheville again.

Great location! Comfy beds. A few notes.

This hotel is in a great location and you can walk downtown if you'd like. The views are wonderful. We could see the mountains and the Grove Park Inn from our 11th floor window. You can they remodeled an older property because of some holdovers like an older toilet, slanting floors, etc. One elevator was down, leading to waits. But overall, a really good stay for the price. Note, you will pay for parking at this property. $30 to valet, $25 to self park. Take the breakfast if it is offered to you with your stay at a discount! It was very good and reasonable if you add it on when booking. We only paid $10.
