We like staying at Grandstay because it’s close to campus and connected to Old Chicago but our room this time was horrible. Room was very shabby…Stained carpet, shower curtain rod poorly attached, stained tub, hole in wall behind door. Hallway to old Chicago beat up and trashy looking.

We enjoy the Grandstay because of the amenities in the rooms and the separate bedroom as my husband is an early riser and he can enjoy coffee and TV while I sleep longer. The only issues we had were that there was no TP in the bathroom, but the desk person was quick to help me when I went to get some, and the property could have used another trash can in the kitchen area as there was only a small one in the bathroom. Other than that, the beds were comfortable with four pillows of varying firmness to accommodate our preferences, the room was clean and parking was ample. We enjoyed that Chicago One Pizza was in the complex which made for a nice quick meal after our drive. The location was close to Iowa State University which was the venue for our trip, so we left very pleased.
