The Gray Rock Inn is my first hostel and I was pleasantly surprised. I thought it would be noisy but it was actually rather quiet. I never had to wait for the bathroom. It is a beautiful, historic property within walking distance of everything. Restaurants, bars, breweries, theaters, shopping, you name it. Peggy greeted me at arrival and she was very friendly and helpful. This is the perfect place for a solo traveler or couple wanting to explore the city by foot, and an excellent value for something so centrally located.
