The staff were amazing, friendly, helpful, accommodating. The room was quirky but cool. The bed was one of the best we’ve ever slept in. Only let down of this property was the traffic noise outside at all hours of the night. Despite that we will definitely be back!

Our 3rd time at The Grand over 17 years. Noticed a bit of breakage in the room, such as the draw cord on the blinds - minor but annoying for functionality. Staff did ok given the key card system had crashed just as we checked in.
