Country Inn & Suites by Radisson Asheville River Arts District
The room was spacious and clean on arrival but there were only 3 bath towels and the room was serviced only on the 3rd day. The service was poor; bed not made up, no replacement of toiletries.

The Omni Grove Park Inn & Spa
Beautiful hotel. Room was great. Just wish they did not charge me a $10 tennis fee since we already paid a $45 per day resort fee

The Restoration Asheville
The room was very nice. Bathroom was beautiful. Beds were comfortable. Staff was very nice. Continental breakfast brought up to the room was a great morning surprise. Location obviously was convenient to everything. Only complaint is that the free play arcade was awesome, but machines were not that ...
