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.

Way too old. Really need to be renovated. Waiting line at the front desk is way too long and most of the time there is no staff there at all. Really not up to the standard of a downtown Asheville hotel.

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.

Great location, but either Hotels.com or the hotel itself should have made it know the pool is under construction and that they overbooked king size bed rooms. I should have asked for a discount.

Just a 1 night stay with 2 young grandkids traveling home from week at Bald Head Island NC. In my 6 decades of family/business travel I'd rate this hotel as a low 4 out of 5. Huge cost for mediocre accommodations compared to much cheaper stays along and interstate. Oh... 2:00am charge of $25 for parking lot parking at hotel followed by trying to get you to pay $25 when you leave the next morning. Buyer beware.... much better for much less just around the corner!
