Asheville hotels near Thomas Wolfe Auditorium

Cons: This hotel is advertised as downtown and is not downtown or in walking distance to any downtown activities.

Cons: The view from room was an old out of business motel

Cons: The price of the hotel, while definitely competitive with the rates at some of the higher end hotels, I think is just a bit over the top for weekend rates. After a week of staying at the hotel I felt we should have received the same rate for extending our stay just one more day. Maybe in the future the hotel will be able to allow their employees to offer this option. I would love to see a refund for the difference in cost...

Cons: The bed is quite firm.

Cons: It seemed as though the laundry facilities two floors below was shaking bed during the spin cycle. Once we called the front desk to let them know, we didn't feel it again the rest of the night. We could also hear the upstairs guests loudly walk across the floor and could hear them talking although they seemed much louder than the average guests.

Cons: Breakfast was good the first day, but NOT good the second.

Cons: At times guests were very noisy late at night

Cons: Staff sent us to someone else's room and barely apologized for it. They seemed like it was no big deal when we explained we walked in on someone.

Cons: No room service. No special amenities for frequent travelers or for ones with status

Cons: It was a grade lower than when I stayed 10 years ago.

Cons: Nothing to dislike.

Cons: We couldnt get in or out of self parking because our card didnt work the entire stay, it was really, really inconvenient because we went out a lot for lunch and dinner. They did credit us the parking fee. This place is definitely not a last minute romantic trip kind of place. You better plan in advance if you want any type of spa services and dinner here. The good thing is, its so close to downtown, there's quite a good amount of restaurants to pick from. Overall, if you are planning to venture out, stay somewhere else. If you plan to fully use the amenities at the resort and stay there most of the time, then it would be worth the money.

Cons: We were in the oldest part of the building, above the lobby, on the 3rd floor. Noise would be my biggest compliant! It was fine in the afternoon when I could hear the piano playing from the lobby -- but at night, after 11:00PM, the restaurants and bars in the hotel need to keep their music lower so that it cannot be heard in the guest rooms. If I ever stay again I will not stay in that part of the hotel. We also had a crying baby next door to us (again after 11:00PM) but that would not be the hotels fault.

Cons: I was very disappointed (and embarrassed, as staying here with a friend was my suggestion) with the room we were given. It had outdated wallpaper and green carpet, and the furniture was pretty beat-up. The bathroom was spacious, but had a tiny pedestal sink with nowhere for any toiletries. We had to keep all makeup, brushes, toothbrushes, etc on the dresser in the room. The bathroom looked like a hospital bathroom. There were 2 dim lamps in the room, with no mirror (except what looked like a medicine cabinet in the bathroom and a full- length mirror on the bathroom door - not helpful without good lighting). Not comfortable accommodations for two girls getting ready for dinner. Thankfully the beds were very comfortable. We spent over $300 for the room, which truthfully wasn't as nice as the La Quinta I stayed at 2 weeks ago. Based on other reviews, I am sure that there are more updated rooms available. I would insist on being assigned one of those. I will definitely be back to enjoy the beauty of the hotel, but will not be staying there again until they make some much needed updates.

Cons: As frugal seniors we wouldn't have chosen the Grove for our 40th wedding anniversary becasue of the cost but our children gave us a two night stay. At $400 per night with an additional $15 a night parking fee and $25 facilities use fee I equated it to the airlines and their charing "extra" fees. My opinon, if I'm paying close to $400 a night and not staying in a major cty, I think parking should be included in the price of the room. The room was one with a moutain view, comfortable and clean but. not the luxury I expected at that price. I may be being picky here but there were just two chairs in the room, the bath had only a shower and one sink. The room, with a king bed, was the style you'd find in any Hilton hotel but with a distant view of the mountains. If you stay here I would recommend a less expensive room and use the saved money to treat yourself to the Spa. We have stayed at the Mohonk Mountain House in NY and for about the same price had a fireplace in the room, trails and climbs on the property and breakfast/dinner included. I also think Monhonk is expensive but I think I'm comparing that inn with the Grove which may be unfair on my part. So my ONLY dislike was the value for the money but for the special occasion and since "the kids" were paying for it, what more can I say?.

Cons: It's small but you are charged a daily $25 fee for horrible coffee and "internet" which is NOT wifi. If I am going to pay for these extra things, I would expect them to be usable. In the world of smart phones and tablets, who carries a cable to plug into the internet? I have had better perks at a hotel half the price. I really expected more from a resort that is a part of the Omni family.

Cons: I tried to upgrade my room to a spa room, it was double the price, but I wanted to experience the spa. The third party booking agent would not allow me to change my reservation even though The Grove Park would. I won't be using Kayak again.

Cons: The room was a bit hot at night even after lowering the temperature in the room.

Cons: The "valet" and front parking area is a little clustered but overall its OK

Cons: WiFi horrible. Over billed at both a restaurant and spa until pointed it out. Facilities seemed run down.

Cons: Rooms were just a little tired..but bathroom was updated.

Cons: It was not what was depicted on the Internet. We were deceived and no one seemed to care. It was dirty, small, and not the romantic get a way we had hoped for to celebrate our 10 year anniversary. We called to verify that the pool was included. It was but the pictures online were of the spa pool not the fitness club pool which was $140 more. Instead we spent our visit in the fitness pool. Barley luke warm, filled with screaming kids and no hot tub.

Cons: The rooms vary greatly! This isn't an issue unless they are all over priced. We had 4 rooms last weekend - all around 400$ a night. They were all different sizes because parts of the hotel are different. The room in the old part of the hotel was barely large enough to walk around a queen size bed.

Cons: No rooftop bar.

Cons: charged for parking, had to move rooms because the remote control blinds wouldn't work.

Cons: The booking process through hotels.com didn't work!!! I paid and said I had a confirmation and did t so I paid again when I got there just to get a room. I had to call three times and over 1.5 hours to get a credit that may take 15 days to be credited back to me. RIDICULOUS

Cons: It was very noisy. Lots of traffic noise and lots of noise from the adjoining room

Cons: Our room wasn't ready when we arrived at 9 pm. Housekeeping walked in our room without knocking at 8:30 AM while we were not dressed. Then housekeeping knocked on our door again at 9:45 AM and again at 11 AM, prior to our 12 PM checkout. I spoke to the front desk and she offered me a free cup of coffee. There was already free coffee in the room. I would have much preferred to actually have had privacy in our room and not bothered by the staff. the staff was rude unaccomodating and closed the bar prior to its stated closing time. We won't stay there again despite frequenting Asheville (in the last 5 months, we have rented luxury hotel rooms 24 nights in downtown Asheville).

Cons: Better ask for a room on the other side of the building from I-240, or you will be (not so gently) serenaded to traffic noise all night long!

Cons: $16.00 per day parking charge. Rooms on highway side are loud (we learned that and chose a room on the other side).

Cons: However, the cost of the room was overpriced for our stay and we didn’t appreciate the hidden cost of paying for $16 daily parking (not included), the fact that the pool windows are not tinted (located on the first floor) and there was no tub only a standing shower in our room.

Cons: the mattress and pillows were too soft, and left us wanting for a better night sleep.

Cons: One drawback is the location...a few blocks away from the action and attractions of downtown. Shouldn't be a problem for anyone but the very infirm or physically challenged, but it is a consideration. A nearby homeless shelter was also a strange neighbor...but...its Asheville. The city population seems to be mostly homeless people so...

Cons: Gym not being open.

Cons: Decor too modern for my taste, very stiff visually and functionally in common areas

Cons: We stayed in a pet friendly room as we had our dog. Obviously we have a dog so I don’t have allergies to them but each time we went to the room I started wheezing and has congestion and sneezing. Has to use a rescue inhaler and take meds and nasal spray. I believe the staff is not doing a thorough cleaning and the dander from so many pets over time has built up and causing an issue.

Cons: Barn door to the bathroom is stylish but doesn't provide much privacy or noise limitations when in the bathroom.

Cons: Lobby very cold due to construction in areas of hotel

Cons: This hotel is geared towards businesses and a place for wedding parties. There are charges to make a local call, charges to connect you to a taxi service and a $50 charge is added to your credit card that remains there for 3-5 business days after you've cleared your account. I understand some hotels have this practice, but I was not told the hotel would charge my account in this manner. When I found the charge on my credit card, I had to call the hotel and hang on for many minutes until someone could explain to me what the charge was for. Also, the navigator wasn't too knowledgeable about the surrounding area. The in-hotel restaurant is mediocre but charges $12.00 for a buffet breakfast that is one level above the continental breakfast served at Hampton Inns. I'd skip breakfast at this hotel and go downtown to a great coffee house. We only used the restaurant because we were given 2 $20 vouchers (included in our package). The breakfast wound up costing us $24 + a tip for greek yogurt and fruit. I would not recommend this hotel as my first choice.

Cons: Noisy vending area right outside the door; unattached drain cover in the tub; tub faucet handle awkward to operate; main door handle also didn't operate smoothly. For $200+ I expected more attention to detail.

Cons: You can tell this is an older hotel that has been remodeled. The bathroom was tiny and not very well lit. The bathroom door didn't latch and the TV reception was poor. We also had to request an extension cord because there were no outlets by the bed to plug a phone in overnight.

Cons: Pricey

Cons: Bathrooms were in desperate need for an update

Cons: The hotel was very loud, due to the activities and families staying there, but it made it difficult to sleep because every sound traveled through the walls at all hours.

Cons: The room was fine, however there was a load machine sound in the hallway, someone called our room thinking they were calling the front desk, and housekeeping knocked on our door at 8:30am. The curtains had stains on them making us wonder....

Cons: Bathroom sink counter too small

Cons: The fire alarms went off in the middle of the night on and off for an hour. When I called the desk to ask if there was an emergency the concierge seemed oblivious to the fact that it was the middle of the night and all of the guests were being woken up by loud alarms. He was entirely unapologetic-- and there was no emergency. Every time I was about to fall back asleep the alarm went off again. Not what I'm looking for when I'm on vacation.

Cons: Not the most updated rooms.

Cons: We were put in the room on the main level right by the elevator so it was extremely noisy

Cons: Crummy gym, continental breakfast

Cons: The television didn't work, even after I had a staff member come to look at it. He said he was unable to fix it. Phone to call down to the front desk didn't work at all. I had to request a Do Not Disturb tag. The cleaning staff used a chemical on the carpet that was extremely strong in smell.

Cons: We were put in the first room on the bottom floor. It was very loud. It was hard for our 13 month old to sleep and even too loud for us to sleep. The staff wasn't very nice. They almost seemed upset that the hotel was full with evacuees. We had to call the main number to get a group discount applied. The onsite manager had refused to give it to us.

Cons: The site is a step down from a Hampton. It's liveable but basic in all regards. Clanking noises all night, I think from pipes. Water took no kidding 10 minutes to warm up, not hot. Very very little water pressure. It was clean, cheap but I expected more in this space. Not doing a 100% renovation really hurts the Sheraton brand here. Lovely warm staff. Older building, old infrastructure. I wasn't unhappy but it could be much better if they invested in the property.

Cons: Shower pressure was terrible Elevator was so loud I felt sorry for the people in the 45 rooms down from it Seemed like

Cons: They mentioned the free bottle of water in the room....hopefully that is enough because there isn't any more anywhere. 1 floor has vending, almost everything sold out. Also shower didn't work right. Not the worst by far but definitely way too much for what you get.
