Cute but needs better beds.
Pros:

It’s a cute old building, the rooms are updated well.

Cons:

The bed was lumpy and sloped, it really hurt my boyfriend’s back. I think had the bed been super comfy this place would have been fine. The location isn’t near anything walkable, nor would you really want to walk in the area, as many other reviews stated there’s a lot of homeless around. With the $55 for valet parking our total price made me wish we had booked something else. There’s no coffee shop, restaurant or bar in the hotel, so you either need to get your car out of the valet or Uber to get to food or drinks.

Our stay at the Hotel Grand Stark was a great experience and it would be first on the list if we make a return trip.
Pros:

The staff was the highlight of the hotel. Everyone was so friendly and welcoming. Mike apart of the Valet crew was awesome. Front desk staff were so helpful.

Cons:

The only thing that we didn’t really like was the shower. No door or curtain on the shower just felt like it lacked privacy and made it a little colder stepping out the shower.

Overall, my stay was great!
Pros:

Nice open lobby. Spacing in room was great w/tiltable TV. View from my room.

Cons:

Location, but likely nothing the hotel could do. At about 5:30a My car was broken into on Stark, car wash side, just two parking spaces from Grand. I heard my car alarm. Tillie Woods was fantastic and helped me file a police report, by providing the non-emergency number.

Quirky but clean hotel
Pros:

The location was good for the event I was attending. The hotel is quirky but clean and inviting. Staff was friendly and accommodating. It was also very quiet, no hallway or street noise.

Cons:

Not too much I didn't like except the fact that they said there would be coffee and pastries in the morning but only offered coffee, no pastires so had to go out to eat something.
