So we ordered one sandwich to split and a Tito's and cranberry. We wanted a quick lunch while we were getting ready one day. Don't get food delivered to your room either. That is perfect and I'm assuming that's why you pay so much to stay there.Īlso the "Library" lounge is not a library. I would rate the Inn a 3/5 on service and friendliness compared to the West Baden. I live about 30 minutes from the West Baden in Indiana and I was just expecting more from the Inn, I suppose. Every person we encountered working there while on our stay was snobby and rude. We went there for our honeymoon for a week. at one time there they even served hamburgers etc. The demand for (and profitability of) afternoon tea was large enough to move it downstairs to more capacity and lunch was eliminated, but we were inaccurately guided to library for snacks and appetizers. it was snacks and appetizers to be taken with drinks! Ugh! So at the Biltmore Inn, now, one cannot have a lunch!!!!! The Inn guests have to leave the hotel if they want to take lunch. So we go back upstairs and were seated after long wait. Then we went downstairs for lunch and they informed us that they had transformed downstairs dining room into the "tea room" for afternoon tea and that upstairs in the library where high tea had been held, they were serving lunch. The valet informed us we would have a $20 parking fee for this lunch! Didn't make me very happy. So we pulled up to Inn to valet park (raining hard). We had not eaten at Biltmore Inn for perhaps a year or so. Sometimes, though, their reach for profit exceeds their mission and value proposition. We're so grateful for one of N.C.'s greatest treasures. We have had passes to Biltmore for years. It's a MUST try activity for all ages, and these guys are absolute pros and make the entire trip fun! The only downside is the pricing of the pictures taken, which is a bit expensive for what you get. Ample parking, clean amenities onsite - shower, bathroom, changing station, locker ($2), etc. They have approx 84 tour guides onsite, very professional - ensure the trip is fun and safe for everyone. Took approx 90 minutes for the upper region, and I believe it is the same for the lower region, too. It was a packed day, but they handled it well - they are very well organized and structured, a big shout out for people at parking, at the check-in office, they help run the place efficiently. Staff at SMO are extremely friendly and supportive of any changes (availability and best interest). We got there and talked at the check-in office - got it changed to upper pigeon - the best decision - my son thoroughly enjoyed it! This was the first rafting trip for my 8yr son, and I had booked a lower pigeon. We had an amazing time rafting the UPPER PIGEON. Still, as always, you should check out and decide for yourself. I downloaded the app called Dollywood and it worked great for the first 1-2 hours but it stopped reporting wait times before lunch which made it hard to plan. I had fun but $90 is way too much for what is offered. Maybe the worker shortage or all considered the off season. I noticed quite a few booths were empty and there were no open photo booths after the coasters. At least twice the size of Auntie Anne's. I have no issue with the quality of the rides but when you have less rides the wait times will inevitably rise. They have 9 coasters where Hershey has 15. The layout of the park is decent enough but it seemed to be lacking in thrill rides. I've heard about the shows at Dollywood but they weren't showing when we were there. Living one hour from Hershey, PA it's only natural that Hershey Park is my metric for other amusement parks. But they do have a hardware store that sells JD merchandises, they do close at 5pm though and we missed it. I wish they had accessories on-site to buy also. There is a shop on-site where you can buy the bottles and customize couple of bottles. It was fun to taste them and know the difference. They had different flavor profiles and tastes to it. We had a sample tasting at the end of tour and we got 5 samples to taste. He had an interesting history and glad he succeeded in it. Then Debbie explained us the history of Jack and how he started making whiskey. The tour starts with smelling the amazing slit whiskey and it smells heaven. There process of making whisky is almost similar to everyone else except a little bit of new process which I saw only at JD distillery, which was amazing. Our Tour guide Debbie was amazing and she explained us the history of Jack and distillery perfectly. It was raining a bit and weather was perfect so we don’t get tired in sun. We took the Angles share tour ( pre booking is recommended) and we had lots of fun. This place is one of the best distillery tours I went on.
