Reviews and Ratings
The hotel offers a convenient location near the garage area, making it easy to access. The rooms are showing signs of age, particularly in the bathroom and shower/tub areas. The overall cleanliness of the room was below expectations.
My stay at GPI was a mix of positive and negative experiences. The hotel, although in need of renovation, offers helpful and attentive service in a breathtaking location with great views of the Blue Ridge Mountains. The dining experience was excellent, but some rooms lacked views and needed updates.
The hotel's rooms were nothing special for the high price of $450 per night, making it feel overpriced to me. The service was mostly helpful, although there was one rude encounter. The location was great, nestled between a mountain range and an opulent neighborhood, but some aspects felt outdated. The dining experience had its flaws, with high prices for basic items. Overall, the hotel had its ups and downs in terms of value and quality.
I had a fascinating stay at this hotel. The rooms were spacious and architecturally interesting with beautiful Stickley style furniture and lamps. However, the room proximity to the elevator and the substandard elements for this category were minor drawbacks. The location was convenient, beautiful, and perfect for both relaxing and engaging in various activities. The service was fantastic, and the staff's helpfulness and positivity left a lasting impression. The dining experience, while offering great views and tasty food, fell short in variety compared to other top-tier hotels. Overall, a mix of excellence and areas for improvement made my stay memorable.
