We came in town for a concert at the Orange Peel, which is right across the street. Perfect location for us. Room was clean and quiet. The room stayed kind of warm so we opened the windows to keep it cool but closed up at night as downtown Asheville has a few homeless people hanging out plus you hear street noise with the windows open. The room has a microwave and a mini-fridge which was very handy. Could use a coffee maker in the room. The bed is on the hard side, which I actually like. Parking is hit and miss. There is no parking for guests so you either go to the street or any of the parking lots in the downtown area. Would definitely recommend the Gray Rock Inn.
