They assigned me a dirty room. Someone had already been there, and I went to get another one. It's really bad that I don't have good control over that.

This place should be reported to the Health Department! We left immediately, it was beyond disgusting. Extremely filthy, bugs, stained walls, furniture, carpet....everything! The urine stained stairway was so strong my eyes were burning and I nearly vomited. This place should be raided and condemned!

Please never stay here!!!Code and card would not open my room door. We changed cards 3 times. Every time we came back to the room we had to go to the front desk to have them open it up for us. Water draining from the walls and under the bathroom sink. Shower looked like it was never cleaned. And all towels and wash cloths looked dirty. We will never stay there again. We tried to get another hotel but everything was booked due to many things going on around town. Pictures online are not what this place looks like.

Horrible

I’m not from the area so I should have researched the area better, horrible place. If all my funds weren’t tied up from there I would have found a different place to stay while I was in town. We had to go get our own cleaning supplies to clean the place before taking our belongings in.

Ok stay. Place to lay my head after a festival

Stairway to second floor smelled awful. Had trouble getting into room with code. Bathroom shower did not drain for at least two hours. Night stand missing drawer, and TV remote did not work. One channel only.

Wonderful sleep

Based on other reviews, I took a chance. It turned out to be clean, comfy, safe, and I slept wonderfully. That's what mattered. It was not a high-end hotel, nor was I expecting one as I did not reserve one. The only trouble I had was trying to find it. It was in a separate wing of the Grand, which, based on reviews, I did not choose to stay at. All worked out just fine and, should I be in that area again, I would most likely stay there again.
