The location was absolutely perfect for being able to visit the many breweries that downtown Asheville has to offer without having to worry about transportation. The Inn itself has a lot more charm than some big, new hotel room and we were not in need of any added amenities that the latter might offer except maybe for the bathrooms. The shared hallway bathrooms aren't the most ideal but we knew that going in so that wasn't unexpected, other than that we really enjoyed the place. I only had minimal contact with John before going out for the evening but he was very nice in suggesting places around town to eat and the whole process was very easy.
