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.
