  hostile and ghetto style of running a hotel!

  23 Mar 2026

  Over an hour wait to check in, even though it was 11:15p.m at night. During the process the attendance was trying to charge us "resort fee" of $26.00 for two nights instead of for the one night stay. Despite the fact that we were showing confirmation for the one night, the attendance called over her colleague who also refused to check our confirmation but yelled and blurted out in front of other guest that she can "denied us service". It took another 45 minutes to reach our booking company so that they could confirmed that we are booked for only one night. In all it took an hour and half to checked us in this undesirable place!!

  I think I would have got better sleep and felt safer if I slept on the street.

  False advertising

  18 Mar 2026

  The pictures are far from reality. The pool area was the only acurate picture. It was so disappointing. Dirty, old, the lock didn't work.

  Not worth the money

  13 Mar 2026

  We paid over $200 for a room with a king-size bed and the room was not in a good condition. All the drawers of the dresser and cabinets were all opened when we arrived. It was supposed to have a hair-dryer but did not. The walls were gouged out in the bathroom with metal sticking out where outlets would have gone. The room was dirty. There were train tracks right outside our room and we could hear the train for a majority of the night. The sheets on the bed were very flimsy and the fitted sheet over the mattress kept coming out. We only stayed one night but for $200 per night, we expected much better than this. We will never stay at this hotel again. The only part that was nice was the lobby. The checkin/checkout staff were very friendly.

  Only stay here if you want a laugh at the horrible irony

  23 Feb 2026

  Whatever you do, don’t stay at the Grandview hotel I will say for starters… I had to review this comically because of just how ironic this hotel is… It’s also the definition of false advertisement and their façade on the outside is nothing like after walking through your room door, it’s a whole Nother thing. Ok hang in there and read all these ironies that will leave you saying I’m glad I read those reviews which by the way I’ve learned lesson to never book a hotel without reading reviews ever again. So with that being said, I will go on with the vibe of when life gives you lemons you just have to laugh 1. There’s a coffee maker with zero coffee. We were told that there are no coffee makers in the rooms yet there was one sitting right there on the bathroom counter and not a grain of coffee on the premises because they don’t do that or have that not even in the mornings in the lobby so I guess that’s a bring your own coffee and bring your own filter cause you might have a coffee maker in your room you just don’t know2. We were also told there are no phones in the rooms yet we found a phone in the cabinet, but there was no cord.3. There is an iron, but there’s no board.4. There’s a place to hang your clothes up but not a hanger in sight so don’t get on that plane without stuffing your duffel bag full of hangers that make you not be able to store it in above storage on your flight.5. The lock was not functional as it spun around and around and around and around, leading us totally pants down.6. There’s no breakfast in the morning in the lobby at all whatsoever. They don’t do that. They don’t even do coffee in the lobby in the mornings like I said there’s not a grain or bean of coffee on the premises of this hotel.7. Another thing we were told is they don’t use trash bags in their trash cans but then when you go to ask for ice an ice bucket, they say we also don’t use ice buckets and then they’ll hand you a trash bag for your ice.8. There is a totally rusty, useless safe that doesn’t work when you swipe your card there’s no power to it at all whatsoever and wobbles so bad you could just pick the whole thing up and walk right out with it if you really wanted one that bad nothing in it and was unable to open… and remember how I said there’s no ironing board? I ironed my skirt on top of the safe after putting a towel down over it due to the rust.9. The lobby smells like hot pee pee and the elevator smells like a big 400 pound fella just sweated really really bad trying to walk up a flight of stairs or something one way or another, It smells like a fat guy’s oniony sweat.10. Another thing we were told there’s no microwaves in the room. There’s no microwaves in the lobby either there’s no microwaves apparently on the premises of this property yet… Here’s the kicker, in the vending machine, There’s microwavable popcorn.11. They’ve got about 50 lighters in the vending machine, condoms, medication’s over-the-counter, but I was disappointed that I didn’t see one pen, insight, anywhere or even one single teared off piece of paper so don’t expect to be writing anything here.12. There was notices by every elevator saying the water was going to be turned off from 11 AM to 4 PM and I’ll be darned if it wasn’t every minute of those hours then when it cut back on the tub wouldn’t still work or shower there’s still no water. What is this Woodstock?13. The ceilings right outside your doors are so patched up and God knows how the holes got there that needed to be patched because each floor is concrete so how could something come through the floor above us through concrete? Where did these holes come from?14. There was some kind of drain from I guess maybe at some point in time a fountain I’m guessing some sort of fountain or running water that was supposed to contribute to their fake façade that was literally dug up with what looks like could only could be done by a machine. That’s how big of a hole this nasty sewage drain thing looked like and they now have it roped off with caution tape. 15. So this one isn’t necessarily anything horribly bad but more just weird… The complete side of the building is painted in such a way it looks like either a roller rink or a gentleman’s club leaving you confused to. You’re just really really don’t know which one it is.16. This one’s also not necessarily a dealbreaker but just weird I’ve never been in a hotel that didn’t have a Bible in the drawer personally … Who knows, this hotel will have you baffled left and right asking who here is responsible for all this and all you can do to stay positive is just laugh your butt off about all these ironic things where is Alanis Morissette singing that song ironic that should be the theme song for this hotel.17. The best vending machine out of the three or four weird ones they have is continuously out of service and it is full of any kind of drink you can think of, but it’s a tease because it’s out of service. 18. There’s a blow dryer on the wall that has no power and doesn’t work at all. Thanks a lot your dill holes so bring your own hairdryer.19. There’s a smart TV in the room which is pretty cool but then you see the apps to sign into to watch TV like Netflix Paramount, etc. that is still signed into the last person that stayed there so if you use any of the signing apps to watch TV you better make sure to sign out before you leave or check out. 20. It’s amazing how crap these rooms in this hotel is but they demand and their policy is to pay a ridiculous safety deposit and leaves you saying scratching your head. What for? Wha t to replace things that aren’t there? We refuse to pay one more sense you dirty, dirty, sick, sick people I literally wanted to look around and yell where is Ashton? Am I being punked??? Is this some kind of sick joke? Where’s the cameras?! I have pictures and videos that will crack you up, but I don’t know if I can upload them to this and last I will say if you want a really good laugh and want to stay at a really bad place for giggles just to amuse yourself. How ironic this hotel really is then yeah book it. It won’t cost you that much and I guess you get what you pay for and this will teach me a lesson to not read reviews before booking any hotel ever again .Oh yeah, I forgot about the broken weight machine down by the lobby next to the elevator that’s literally busted broken rusted and wasn’t even plugged in not that that matters at that point and across from that is a half shell trashcan up against the wall what the point is half of a trashcan as if it’s coming out of the wall oh yeah, but at least it has a trash bag in it. OK OK one more last thing I forgot you’ll get excited when you see there’s a restaurant and bar but then they tell you it’s permanently closed. Well I looked in the windows and there’s chairs and crap set up like it’s a functional working restaurant that leaves you scratching your head and right across from From that is a vending machine that is completely empty except for two menthol nicotine vapes in it. What a waste of a vending machine.
