10/10 Excellent

"Amazing workers. My room was clean. The hotel was clean. The pool was absolutely immaculate. I loved the the heated pool and the water was nice and clear. Parking was amazing. Will definitely be coming back again"

GrandStay Hotel & Suites

8/10 Good

"Most of the property was clean, outside of our shower curtain having some spots that weren't ideal. Common areas were clean. Front desk staff were about 50/50 on friendliness/helpfulness - nobody was rude but not all seemed overly welcoming. Breakfast on our last day, there were lots of things empty when we arrived at breakfast 30 minutes before it closed, which was a bummer. Overall, it was a pleasant experience. We really liked that the pool was open until midnight."
