The Grey Rock Inn was just as described. Not a fancy Bed and Breakfast but a simple European style hostel. It was clean, comfortable and in a great location. In our three night stay, never had a wait for the shared baths and they were always sparkling clean. Street noise was not an issue for us but we live in a downtown city area so we're used to it. The price can't be beat in downtown Asheville. We paid for 3 nights what would have been one night in the higher-end hotels. It was perfect for our needs as we spent most of our time in Asheville and not at our accomodations. We will be back!
