I had an overall good experience at the hostel. The staff was great and meeting the other guests there was very cool. Everything was comfortable and clean. I did find the room to be overpriced given how old and uncomfortable the bed was, and I found the $12 additional fee for the dog to be a little unnecessary. But I guess Asheville is a little pricier than the other places I stayed along my cross country drive, where I spent less money and had more comfort.
