We expected something better than a two star travel lodge with the Grove Park Inn.
The building is of no consequence and overrated. The food was worse than McDonalds and the four people eating their meal had to ask the snotty waiter just what we were eating. The "view" from the veranda has no view at all due to heavy pollution. The guest rooms were again, just a tad above a two star hotel.
Hyped and a terrific waste of money. Eat elsewhere and stay elsewhere. What a pathetic joke the whole operation is.

Reading positive reviews and I must assume these people have never traveled outside of western NC, much less to Europe. So, for the locals, this property would be living large for them. The London Ritz it ain't.
