I loved pulling into the grand motel and feeling very excited for our stay. The staff was warm and inviting, very knowledgable front desk staff. The waterpark was also fantastic! What I didnt like, cleaning staff cursed in front of my children and a housekeeper on the 3rd floor wreaked of marajuana, my hallway smelled like vomit, half the arcade games were out of order, limited, stale and tasteless breakfast options. There were also huge swarms of Mayflies all over the riverwalk, which is great for the ecosystem, however recommending bug soray should be added to suggestions for stay.

The resort is average as far as cleanliness and rooms go. I appreciate the location convenience, the riverfront path and view, Tony Romas, and the water park when grandkids are with us. Parking is convenient and the staff is always friendly and helpful.

Great room facing river from 6th floor Very nice helpful staff. The check-in area is not a good representation of the hotel. It needs a remodel - it’s dark. I understand the “ship” theme but it isn’t appealing.

The staff was very nice! Tony Roma’s was not as nice, they refused to seat us because we had kids and the meal deal for them and told us take out only and to use the community area around the corner to eat even though we were ordering food on top of the family meal deal. They then took forever and ignored us when we were right at the counter. The grand water park was fun and the hotel was clean with lots of activities. The breakfast wasn’t kid friendly
