We had a great stay at Gray Rock Inn. John is very nice and welcoming. The place was very clean and we slept well. For light sleepers, take caution with the front rooms facing the street - nightlife sound can be heard, but we fared ok with it. Definitely loved the convenient downtown location. We walked to almost everything we did. Perfect for those that just need "the basics", in the middle of Asheville. We'd definitely stay again.
