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.

We have stayed at the Renaissance periodically over the past 20 years. My husband and I were both struck by the property’s overall condition - particularly the guest rooms. We love the location but found ourselves looking for alternatives for our next stay. Asheville has been through a rough time, but the hotel guest rooms are in dire need of an upgrade.

Felt less than great

Good location. Pool was closed since May. No heads up provided or I would have gone elsewhere. Rooms were not adjoining or even next to each other. My room smelled like a wet mop. Adam from maintenance came up, agreed it smelled weird, but couldn't do anything about it. He was great, (not his fault). Hotel couldn't change our rooms to another floor or move me to a room on the same floor. Refrigerator was warm when we checked in. Had to crank it up. It should be cold when you check in.
