Pros:

The staff could have been friendlier. I needed ice, and the only way to get it is to ask for it at the front desk. They have to go get it from the kitchen. Both times I asked for it, they seemed a little put off for me doing it.

Return Trip Did Not Disappoint
Pros:

2nd trip to Grand Union. Despite bad weather had a great stay. Incredible step back into history in a 140 year old historic building. Great pillows and towels! Nicely renovated and maintained. Again, their restaurant may be the highlight of our stay!

A lovely stay
Pros:

Our room was absolutely beautiful. It was clean, quiet and had an amazing view of the river. Sarah, the lady who checked us in was very friendly and helpful. The bed was very comfortable and the jetted tub was a bonus. I will absolutely stay there again. A wonderful way to spend an anniversary.

There is so much history here, a great walking trail along the Missouri River and the fall colors were really showing off. The restaurant was amazing. We had a suite that looked out on the river, absolutely gorgeous.
