Stayed at the Renaissance for 5 nights in Oct 2009. Nice and clean property, room is of good size, modern, and super clean. It's in the heart of downtown yet very quiet at night. The staff (especially front desk) were quite helpful and eager to please. Housekeeping was reliable, consistently did a great job. Cons: Internet is quite expensive ($9... more

Two terrific things about this place - the location and the lobby. Beyond that, the amenities are less than average. The location is excellent - right downtown. I don't drink and drive at all, so being able to walk to and from Asheville's excellent restaurants and bars is the primary reason I stayed here. The lobby is great. The bellhops... more

My husband and I stayed here for our anniversary in May. It is located perfectly if you are interested in the downtown area. We walked everywhere - to dinner, shopping, entertainment - and it was not a difficult walk. We also loved that it is located right off the interstate which is nice if you plan on traveling down to... more

Booked the Renaissance after canceling Haywood Park res because of so many negative reviews on this site and I'm glad I did. This hotel is in a very convenient location, the staff was friendly and efficient, and the rooms, although on the small side, were beautiful and spotless. The beds were amazing! Stayed at the hotel for dinner on our... more

PROS: decor; service; location CONS: small rooms; price, price, price Stayed here approximately a year ago, but failed to review at that time. The lobby/restuarant area at the R. is not beautiful when you walk in, and reminds me of a slightly outdated chain hotel. While our room was gorgeous, it was unusually SMALL AND NARROW. And I mean unusually... more

Attended an event in Ashville during September 2009 and stayed at this facility. I have no real negatives to post regarding my five night stay. I also have no real "make me want to return" postives to post either. The location is excellent if downtown is your destination. The employees were typical hotel employees - They do their job but... more

Checked in on a weekend afternoon, parking out front was scarce, but found a spot on the side of the hotel (no signs showing us more parking in the back). Bellman sort of just stared as we entered, didn't seem helpful at all. Shook that off and stood in a line four deep to check in. The one girl up... more

I am a loyal Marriott Rewards member primarily because I am always sure that a Mariott property will be, at the very least, clean. Unfortuantely no so for this property. An example is that the sheets on the bed were actually dirty -- like, I could see dirt. I think it may have even been mold because there had been... more

The hotel has all the ammenities you expect from a property this level. The breakfast buffet is for serious eaters but quite good. Staff is wonderfully friendly and caring and present the guest with so many choices that one hardly knows where to start. Parking is easy. Rooms are sufficiently large. Bathrooms are small but adequate. We were here six... more
