Kathleen was warm and welcoming at check-in truly concerned with your comfort. The room was very clean, well appointed and the bed was SO soft and comfortable - definitely the highlight. The room looks just like the photos which was great.
I appreciated little touches like cooling the room before my arrival and providing ear plugs. I was also impressed by the cleaning wet wipes provided in the bathroom which was another considerate touch.
Honestly the whole place is very clean. Only area you take a chance is in the bathroom. I had anxiety about the shared bathroom before my arrival. It was not so bad. Showers were clean. Toilets are a gamble based on who goes in before you. Otherwise I was very pleased with cleanliness. If it were an ensuite room, it would be perfect, but that would change the ethos (and cost) of the place which I understand.
The location is great, right downtown and walking distance to shops and cafes. Perfect to wake up and get a coffee and breakfast sandwich to start the day.
I had a great stay and would definitely recommend GRI for visitors to Asheville.
