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.

The stay was great and so was the view overall it was great place to stay and everything is within walking distance. However when we went to use the bathtub to take a shower there sewage backed up that came spewing out all over the tub, thankfully we were given a new room with no questions asked. Great hotel overall.

This was a return trip for us exactly one year from our first stay. Booked for the location because we were in town for Billy Strings weekend! Walkable to everything including the concert venue. We were worried about how things would be considering the enormous damage to the RAD from Helene but the hotel was in great shape. A few suites were blocked off due to damage but all other amenities were available. The Writer’s Bistro was wonderful as usual. Thanks for hosting us and we’ll see you next time Billy is in town.

The staff is very friendly and responsive. Carpeting in my room was dated, sliding bathroom door was off its track and one of the curtains was off its track. However, they came right away to fix the bathroom door and offered me a new room because the curtain had to come down and wouldn't be replaced that day. I also wish they had a note in the bathroom about not having to change the towels. I was only staying 2 nights and didn't need to have fresh towels. Lastly, it costs $25 per night to park your car. Seems excessive to me.

The coffee maker in room 1028 was disgusting and needs to be replaced. Otherwise our overall stay was fantastic and we will always stay at the Renaissance when we visit Asheville. The brunch was fantastic!
