- “But the centerpiece was the soaking tub: enormous and positioned in a way that felt almost ceremonial, since it was open to the room.” 4

- “If your ideal Asheville getaway puts every restaurant and brewery your heart desires only a block or two from the hotel entrance, this might not be the spot for you. But if a quick drive downtown sounds OK, Grand Bohemian Lodge Asheville makes for an ideal spot.” 15

- “Professional, top-notch service and staff” 10

- “Yeah, what's up with "posh" nice hotels being so freaking understaffed in the US. JW in NOLA has 1 staff member at the front desk and a line of 7-8 parties deep waiting for assistance. Everytime I walked by during business hours, always a line.” 9
- “A friend of mine stayed this past weekend and said the first floor renovations and changes were nice, but the rooms were kind of half-assed.” 6

- “The unique valet entrance immediately sets a welcoming tone, and the service is nothing short of exceptional.” 21
- “The front desk staff was friendly and offered to hold our bags for us while we ate lunch because our room wasn't ready yet.” 23
- “Breakfast the following morning was a different story. The service moved slowly without much interaction with the staff.” 4
- “Try the Ross Bridge. Although the golf course is closed, the hotel is beautiful and the staff is great.” 9
- “Guest rooms are modern and plush, with stunning bathrooms, unique artwork, and velvet-tufted headboards -- but compared to many surrounding hotels, the price tag is high and there is no pool.” 14
- “And overpriced food and beverages. And a slightly uncomfortable amount of Native American imagery.” 19
- “Reply Share lernlern • 2y ago We splurged on the presidential there one evening, very well worth it. We splurged on the presidential there one evening, very well worth it. Anniversary gift to ourselves.” 17

- “The hotel was extremely clean and the shower and bathroom were incredibly well done.” 9

- “Plus, the view of the waterfalls on the Reedy River was quite beautiful.” 23
