The Omni Grove Park Inn & Spa

Overall it’s a beautiful place and the amenities are nice. We enjoyed eating at the Sunset Terrace (premium dining) and the Market Place for casual breakfast sandwiches along with ice cream and coffee. Be sure to stay in the Vanderbilt Wing as the main hotel rooms haven’t been updated and are Very old. We also played the golf course which was very well maintained and with wonderful views. Check out the Sports Center, it has a great workout facility along with pool tables, ping pong tables and tennis and pickleball courts.

I spent Thursday through Saturday at the Omni Grove Park Inn for Mother’s Day weekend with my mom and daughter, and it was truly unforgettable. Our room in the Sammons Wing overlooked the golf course, and we loved watching the families of wild turkeys wander across the greens each morning. The staff could not have been kinder or more attentive. We enjoyed the breakfast buffet every day—beautiful selections and absolutely delicious. Our server was wonderful: warm, attentive, and a pleasure to talk with. We had been trying for months to book spa appointments without luck, but on a whim, we walked in to check availability—and they had three openings for that very day. The experience was exceptional. My daughter, who is 6½ months pregnant, was treated with such care that she actually fell asleep during her prenatal massage. We also used valet services for convenience and to help my mother avoid long walks. Everything about our stay—from the accommodations to the service—was top‑notch. It was an expensive getaway, but the memories we made and the chance to check something off our bucket list were absolutely priceless.

Been coming here 1-2 times a year for over a decade and the grove park inn has gradually declined each time. The last visit was the worst experience there we have ever had. The front desk couldn’t find our reservations and accused us of not making them even though we made it through the grove park inn website. They said that’s a third party and took no responsibility. After about 20-30 minutes they finally found it. We dined at the sunset terrace that evening which has always been fantastic, however 3 of the 5 of us got food poisoning and were up all night sick. The only thing we were offered was an apology that it happened. Nothing else considering it ruined our trip because we all felt awful the remaining two days. I understand the ambiance and atmosphere they are going for considering the age of the hotel, but the rooms in general and the entire hotel other than the lobby has become extremely dated. The furniture, carpet, walls, decor in the rooms looks dirty and worn down from years of not being upgraded. It feels more like a 3 star hotel. The service for the most part is still very good. The food at The Edison was very good but overall it’s just not worth the price anymore. Very disappointing and this is more than likely our last visit here as we will be staying at the Inn at Biltmore going forward.
