The Greenbrier

My husband and I just spent 3 nights at the Greenbrier. This hotel is so beautiful and elegant. The decorating is so unique and we spent hours just walking through and viewing the gorgeous rooms and grounds. The fees here are astronomical, and we noted corporate events throughout the hotel. I believe the majority of the patrons there were staying as part of a conference and therefore not dealing with all these costs. The rooms are very pricy. This is fine, you’re obviously aware of this when you book. However, in addition to the additional resort charge there is also the sales tax, occupancy tax, and the biggest kicker is the 9.75% “historical preservation fee” which is exclusive to the greenbrier and applies to EVERY PURCHASE you make— including food, room, pro shop, you name it. In addition, the resort fee doesn’t cover the majority of resort amenities. It basically includes morning coffee and afternoon tea, use of the indoor pool, hiking trails, internet, fitness room and a few other things. All other activities you’ll be paying for, plus gratuity ( 20% automatically included), tax, and the 9.75% historical preservation tax. Despite all these fees, I probably would stay here again. It really is a one-of-a-kind resort .

Expensive, but really worth it. The staff is marvelous and the restaurants great. The Greenbrier offers a wonderful selection of activities. The golf course was in perfect shape.

The Greenbrier mixed history, elegance, relaxation and business perfectly along the Appalachian trail. We were there for a meeting but found ourselves relaxing and taking advantage of all the resort and area have to offer. From fantastic food, to more outdoor activities than you can imagine, along with attentive and friendly staff and beautiful surroundings, a really wonderful experience

Spent a half day. We took the Bunker Tour and saw the grounds. Beautiful property and really interesting history. Recommend the tour for anyone interested in history

We went to the Greenbrier for a day to enjoy the spa, lunch and the bunker tour. During our spa visit, our masseuse noticed that one of us had a bandaged finger, and suggested we go to the clinic onsite since we suspected it may need to be stitched. However, the staff at the front desk informed us that the clinic was for overnight guests only, at which time we asked them to check with a supervisor. They told us the administrator could not be found and was not picking up their phone. We left, and went in town to the urgent care. Since we had spent the entire day and a good deal of money during the course of our visit, we would have appreciated a bit better treatment than to be dismissed like that.
