Grand Building Stay

historical presence excellent service helpful parking

The building has an excellent historical presence. The lake and surrounding area provides a great view. I found the service excellent. Handicap parking was helpful. I appreciate all the staff did during my time there.

I did find the lift dreadful and waited twenty minutes at times. The cost of food and drink was overpriced. This hotel could improve in several areas.

The hotel is on top of a hill with many trees in a park setting. It is closed to the center. I enjoyed views of the lake from the location. The hotel offers a free shuttle to the city.
