Absolutely loved the heated pool! It was the perfect warm-hot temperature! The hotel is very gorgeous inside. The room was super clean. All the staff were nice and helpful. Only issue I had was the water knob was very hard to turn on and off in room 114.

The pool was really nice, the hotel staff were also really nice. They were able to replace my body wash and shampoo when I used it. The hotel bed was clean, and the lobby was nice as well. The only issue I had was during my first night the shower wouldnt turn off, but we were able to fix it. Thank you for a great stay!

I had a great time at the Grand Hotel. The place is beautiful with vintage hints but very well kept! The rooms are spacious very clean and mine had a jetted tub. My room was directly outside the indoor pool which was super cute and convenient . The restaurant and bar was amazing! Great food and drinks and all the staff were very nice

Because of the banquet rooms, the hotel could be loud depending upon where you stay, but overall the location and price was right. And the property was maintained despite the age. I'd recommend it as an easy and affordable stay.

Hotel was unique and amazing. Breakfast was horrible. No decaf, yogurt was not in the individual cups as usual at other hotels but instead in an open big container with a spoon to serve it out yourself with no lid on top of it in small fridge on counter. Bread and bagels looked like they were plastic or cardboard in nature, no bananas, no eggs or sausage as you see in other hotels. Amenities were great, room was clean and comfortable but do yourself a favor and make sure to get some breakfast at the Dunkin Donuts across the street.
