This was my second time staying at The Restoration Hotel, back in 2023 I rated it a 5 Star. This year I noticed a big difference. This hotel has become a party hotel, the last night the music coming from the roof top was unbearable, staying on the 5th floor did not help. The room was vibrating from the music and the conversations were loud. Though the music was turned down at 10 PM so that helped a lot. The Draftsman Bar Lounge, one of my favorite places in Asheville was off limit due to private parties through out my stay, so that was strike two! The breakfast basket on day one was a winner, the following morning the breakfast basket had two very hard biscuits, so we opted to go out to breakfast. The staff continues to be amazing from the receptionist Mary Katherine to the valet Nick and other fellows that were friendly and professional.
