This is a great inexpensive place to stay for a solo traveler. I came into town for a concert and was able to walk from the Grey Rock Inn to the Thomas Wolfe Theater so I didn’t have to worry at all about parking or driving downtown before the show. I will say that the parking garage that was recommended to me, the Biltmore Avenue Parking Garage, has gone up in price. I was told it would be $12 a day but was charged $20 a day. I still think it was totally worth it given how inexpensive the Grey Rock Inn is overall. This parking garage is less than a block from the Inn so it was very easy to park and carry all my stuff over. I left a lot of stuff in my car out of convenience bc I was on a long road trip and didn’t have any issues in the garage. Most of what I wanted to do in Asheville was walking distance from the Inn. Check in and check out was so smooth and easy. The bathroom is shared but having a sink in the room made things much more convenient for me. Everything was very clean and I loved all the plants. This building is so cool, historic, and has so much character. The owners give back to the community by offering affordable long term accommodations in an increasingly gentrifying city. It felt good to support them, as usually Airbnbs exacerbate the problem. There is a really nice balcony where you can sit, eat, use wifi that actually made me want to hang out at the inn rather than explore! The biggest downside to this place is that it is directly across the street from the music venue the Orange Peel, which is very loud during shows. If you are sensitive to sound I would recommend bringing ear plugs to sleep and even then you might have to just wait until the music is over to go to sleep.
