The Biltmore has the bones to be a great hotel, something many modern hotels with crimped lobbies will never have. The Frank Lloyd Wright inspired architecture has a distincitve look and feel that brings a smile to most people with a sense of creativity. A cozy bar with indoor / outdoor seating, excellent breakfasts at Frank & Alberts, clean pool with attentive service.
Cannot give it 5 stars for several reasons. The room was large and clean but none of the outlets worked well, an inexpensive repair that should have been fixed. AC was feeble and the hotel nickels & dimes you on things like water bottles. I would stay again and hope the mgmt reads these reviews and makes small changes to lift one of the most distinctive properties around back into the top ranks.
