Working in Grover we were put up here. Reasonably priced & located right off the highway. Parking isn't spectacular & fair warning only a single entryway around a slight blind corner. Staff members friendly & accommodating while room size wasn't frowned upon, however the rooms 🗑 containers are ultra small.

I stayed here for a work trip. I got in late and settled in right away. I was in the shower around 10:30p and heard a front door slam. It sounded like it was my door, so I looked out of the shower to see it wasn’t. It was the neighboring room. As I was getting in bed at 10:45p, suddenly heard a group of people on the patio next door and the door slammed a few times. By 11p I called the front, I gave that until 11:30 and made an executive decision to pack up and go to the lobby for a room switch. Luckily, they were able to switch me. I asked for a room with fewer occupants around and was given first floor. It had ants in the bath and honestly stayed cause I needed sleep and knew I already got my shower done in the other room. I blocked the spot where ants were coming from. At 6a the occupant upstairs from me rolled their bags and slammed the door a few times, I heard it all clearly. My suggestion is ask for 3rd floor and a corner unit. I saw there’s another review with spiders, with the renovation maybe check everything before you unpack and get comfortable. I skipped the comped breakfast due to over sleeping after finally falling asleep…but I don’t know if it seemed appealing after the experience.

The rooms are nice and large. Newely remodeled. Not great views. Breakfast not the best, maybe after the remodel it will improve.

Les images de l’hôtel ne sont pas représentatives de ce que l’hôtel est en réalité… en rénovation, la piscine est sale, le spa ne fonctionne pas. Un gros non pour le prix…
