David and team brought this connection together! This venue is absolutely gorgeous. From the moment you walk towards the door, you see at the corner of the building, the unassuming yet illuminating Zen sign presence. The foyer greets with such high beautiful ceilings (and walls) with the artistic lighting. There are two other space to enter. If you continue straight, you enter a much larger area that has on its walls, wonderfully large paintings of flowers evoking both energy yet calmness. I discovered that Jeff, the owner had painted the walls and can see the nice brushstroke patterns along with the majority of the flower paintings. We were for the most part in this area which is shaped like a gigantic "L" and you would go further in and to the bottom foot area find a large bar awaiting. There was also a table of desserts and a musician. There were the hors d'oeuvre standing tables yet with nice high seats along with the comfy chairs. We had our networking, food, drinks, and murder mystery here. I've been to Zen many times in the past for several different non-profit/charity events and always so well done. This room depending on the size of attendees is an ideal spot for these types of reception/activities. If you had gone over to the right from the foyer, you would enter a huge space that has on the complete opposite side some large screen that projector is displaying and lighting. There are tables with seats and this brings back memories of when the company I worked for held their holiday parties here and this would also double up as a dance floor! There's another bar right underneath the staircase, and if you walk up the stairs, not only do you have a great view of this room (and if you were trying to search for someone dancing, walk up the stairs and gently look for your man) it also has a private suite that can act as the bridal room since such great furniture, a kitchen and bathroom complete with shower (so if you start getting cold feet, you can turn the heat on your feet)! Not only does Zen have these different space and levels, they even have an exterior space, their own zen garden. I've never noticed it before since other times I've been here, it would be dark and couldn't see OR since it was December, they had tents with heaters. There are many different options to use this beautiful place and Jeff is extremely down-to-earth and inviting. Besides hosting such fancy events, he also has hosted various dance parties. If you or the organization/company/group you identify with have a need for up to 350 people, this would be ideal!

The contact at Swanson's was easy to work with. The event was affordable and casual yet intimate. We picked the caterer. We hosted this event on December 30th so the colorful string lights felt perfectly festive! And the signs of Greenville's past covering the walls were fun for the Greenville natives--it took them back! (Photographer: Julia Madden Sears)

There is canned beer of varying prices (starting with some $1 beer, including the classic PBR) up to fancier craft beer ($3, $5, or $7) and you can pay with a card. They don't have food but their very salty popcorn is free. Inside, walls are covered in "vintage" local signs, making for some good conversation pieces. There are a couple booths on the wall, but it's mostly standing room unless you borrow a camping chair. Outside it looks liike to you're walking into a garage, but it does look like they have parking (wish I saw it before paying at the lot around the corner.

There are several…read morebeautiful spots to sit and relax, especially near the Grand Bohemian Lodge Greenville, and the bridge is a wonderful place to stroll while enjoying the soothing sound of the river and waterfall. What makes it even more meaningful is the history behind it. Beginning in the late 1700s, water-powered industries clustered along the Reedy River, including trading posts, grist and corn mills, a sawmill, an ironworks, the Gower, Cox and Markley Coach Factory, a paper-making factory, and an armory. A century later, textile and apparel mills were established along its banks. Unfortunately, the mills discharged waste and excess dyes into the river, and the Reedy began to suffer from the spoils of progress. By the mid-20th century, downtown Greenville's stretch of the river was so severely polluted by upstream textile mills that the once pristine and popular falls became desolate and unsafe. Seeing how beautiful and vibrant the area is today makes you truly appreciate the restoration and revitalization efforts. It's peaceful, scenic, and rich with history -- definitely a must-visit when you're in Greenville. Cheers!

This venue does a lot of false advertising on their website. Our function was planned from a…read moredistance and we could not see this venue in person. We were trying to plan a beautiful wedding for a military couple stationed in Japan. His family is from Greenville area. There were to be between 100-120 guest. The venue manager said the venue would hold 150 easily with no issues, as stated on the website. This is completely incorrect. The venue only has 10 sixty inch round tables for guests to be seated at and those tables only hold 8 comfortably. It seemed once they had a deposit then things started to change. The venue only had 50 chairs and we would have to rent an additional 60 as an extra charge. The entire function was cramped. We had 111 people confirmed and 6 no showed. So with 111 confirmed we had to have an 11th table that they did not have. They charged us to rent that extra table and chairs too. The venue was too small and should change their website. Another mis-truth on the website is that you have several choices of vendors. This is not true either, we were told that the caterer Southern way has exclusivity. They were more expensive than others we got menus from, so that was disappointing. The manager, Steve was rude and condescending at most times. Communication was difficult. On the day of set up, he used our muscle to help put together an Arbor that we had to pay $150 to rent for 30 mins. That's unbelievable to me that he has no employees to help him and that it wasn't included in the venue since it was in their photos online. It seemed there was an extra charge for many things, such as tablecloths. We were also charged for a security guard that was never there. At the end of the function, we had to tear it down and take the trash to the dumpster a block away. Really? Why would you rent a place that is this disorganized and includes nothing. It was a HUGE disappointment! Spend your money elsewhere. Ask lots of questions before you sign a contract. I believe this military couple was taken advantage of at contract signing because of the lies they were told. The Upper Room Greenville should be ashamed of themselves.

We got the Pride & Joy Couples Package, which included the breakfast buffet for two (normally $16.50 per person, and Bonvoy Elite members do not get free breakfast), a bottle of champagne upon request, two cocktails at Paloma, valet parking (normally $28/night), and 2 p.m. late checkout. I now see a Romance Getaway package that looks similar but without the valet parking and late checkout. I recommend taking a screenshot of exactly what your package includes when you book. That way you can ask to have your bottle of champagne delivered and make sure you receive the vouchers for the free breakfasts and drinks. The valet parking was very convenient. I received a text that allowed me to request our car before we went downstairs. The breakfast buffet was really nice, European style (cold cuts with cheese), fresh fruit and berries, Chobani yogurt, pastries, eggs, spinach quiche, breakfast meats, and two made-to-order options for eggs or a waffle with strawberries and blueberries. You pour your own coffee, which is also available free even if you aren't eating at the restaurant. There is also a Nespresso Vertuo with the large pods and a milk frother. Service varied depending on who was working. Since you get your own coffee and food, there isn't much table service, and if you use the breakfast vouchers, you simply hand over the voucher and don't need to sign a receipt. Bring some cash if you want to leave a tip. On each floor is a Hydration Station with glass carafes you can fill with filtered water. At the AC Asheville, you had to ask Guest Services for a carafe, which I never did, so it was a nice convenience to have the carafes already there. Our room was a good size, with a couch and floor-to-ceiling windows. We had a good view overlooking the bar and restaurant square below. Important note: the sheer blinds really are sheer. Even when they are pulled across the windows, you can see into the room, so close the room-darkening curtains for privacy. There is also no nightlight, so you may want to bring your own for late-night bathroom trips. There is a coffee maker with a pullout tray and rectangular coffee packets. I thought the coffee tasted good, although perhaps it didn't have the full caffeine power I am used to. There was also a mini-fridge with two small bottles of water and glasses to use for the filtered water, plus electrical outlets and USB-A ports by the bed. There was a nice, little gym. We really enjoyed the hotel for its quiet rooms, convenient location, and easy access to downtown Greenville and Falls Park. The Pride & Joy package also made our stay a particularly good value, especially with the breakfast, drinks and valet parking included.

We checked into the AC Hotel in Greenville today after driving six and a half hours. Upon entering…read moreour room, we noticed a portable air-conditioning unit or fan. We initially assumed it had been provided for additional comfort. However, after returning from dinner, we found the room at 78 degrees, even though we had set the unit to 68. When we contacted the front desk, we learned that the room's air-conditioning system was not working. The woman at the front desk was very kind and understanding, and our frustration is not directed toward her. Rather, we are extremely disappointed that the hotel assigned us a room without functioning air conditioning and did not disclose this before we checked in. Had we been informed, we would not have accepted the room--particularly on a hot summer day in the South. We understand that mechanical problems occur, and we have no objection to paying a fair price for a quality hotel room. What is unacceptable is placing guests in a room with a known problem without notifying them beforehand. Providing a portable unit without explanation made the situation feel concealed rather than honestly addressed. As a Bonvoy member, I expected greater transparency and better treatment. If you are planning to stay at the Greenville property, make sure everything in your room--especially the air conditioning--is working properly before you settle in. This was not cool at all, literally or figuratively.
