The Biltmore House in Biltmore, North Carolina state of America is certainly an amazing and interesting place to be. This historical building is one of the landmark of Biltmore. The building is very interesting with a huge garden in front of it perfect for walking or stalling around. It is definetely a place worth to go. #wintergetaway #wintergetaway

Crown Plaza Resort - Asheville, NC. The hotel was nicer than we even thought. Nicer than the pictures. Everyone was very happily surprised. Beds super comfy. Food in the restaurant was awesome, although I will say the only thing that happened that we didn't like was how the hostess reacted when we wanted a table. She made a horrified face and told us she'd go prepare our table and prepare the kitchen staff... it was 9:15 p.m. and we'd just arrived after a long drive from Florida on Thanksgiving day and we hadn't had a Thanksgiving at all. So our excitement turned pretty cold for a while. I understood they closed at 10. The bar outside the restaurant was full and the hotel lobby was busy in a good way, everyone happy. It took them about 10 minutes before she returned and led us inside to our table. The restaurant was not full.by any stretch. Maybe two to three tables had patrons and it was quiet. The food ended up being great and our waiter was very nice so it ended fine. All in all a good stay. But the restaurant could have ruined the entire vacation had any of my family had tempers and complained. Luckily we were able to stay in the spirit and enjoy ourselves despite the lack of hospitality in that instance.
