Hotel has comfortable rooms, premium services, and a prime downtown location

Comfortable Retreat

The room was meticulously clean and offered modern decor with an ocean view. The balcony was lovely, but our favorite feature was the spacious layout that included a kitchenette, making it perfect for our family getaway.

Delicious Dining

We enjoyed every meal we had at Hemingway's. The breakfast buffet was an absolute highlight with freshly made omelets and great coffee. The option to grab breakfast to-go was perfect for our beach days.

Accessible Amenities

The indoor pool area was equipped with ramps and spacious entryways, making it easy for my grandmother to enjoy swimming with the family. We all had a great time splashing around together!

Relaxing Pools

The heated outdoor pool was a fantastic retreat after a day at the beach. The temperature was perfect, and lounging by the pool on the sunbeds was incredibly relaxing. We enjoyed cocktails from the Tiki bar while soaking up the sun.

7.6/10

We enjoyed our time at The Grand Hotel, especially the comfortable accommodations and the lovely ocean views. The staff was friendly, and the hotel's location right across from the beach was a major plus. However, the dining options had room for improvement, and noise from events could be heard at times, which impacted our stay a bit. Overall, it was a great place for a weekend getaway!

Rooms

8.0

The room we stayed in was clean and offered a fantastic view of the ocean from the balcony. The décor was beachy and inviting, though we did notice a ceiling tile that appeared slightly stained. Still, it was functional and comfortable for our needs.

Service

7.0

While the staff was friendly and accommodating, there were a few hiccups with service that could be improved. For instance, we had issues with noise on our last morning which affected our sleep.

Location

9.0

The location is fantastic, directly across from the beach and within walking distance to local attractions. The promenade was beautiful, and we loved our strolls through the area.

Dining

6.0

We enjoyed breakfast at Hemingway's, although the buffet felt a bit crowded and could use more variety. Overall, the food quality was decent, but perhaps not up to the premium pricing of the hotel.

Facilities

8.0

The facilities were nice, with a pool area that looked great for families, though we didn't use it during our stay. We appreciated the beach access and the well-kept public areas.
