Top hotels in South French Broad
The Omni Grove Park Inn & Spa
Beautiful hotel. Room was great. Just wish they did not charge me a $10 tennis fee since we already paid a $45 per day resort fee

The Restoration Asheville
This hotel was very nice. Lots of things to do near by as well as inside the hotel. The only reason it not getting 5 stars is because the AC unit would not cool the room below 70.

Clean, comfortable, spacious. Hard to locate the room and parking in the dark. We didn’t have breakfast here--it wasn't offered.
