I recently had the pleasure of staying at a charming bed and breakfast during Graduation weekend 5/4/2024, and I must say it was an excellent choice! The location of the B&B was absolutely perfect, as it was conveniently situated within walking distance of all the main attractions and amenities in the area. One of the standout features of my stay was the incredibly friendly and helpful staff. They went above and beyond to ensure that my experience was enjoyable and comfortable. They took the time to explain all the amenities available, making sure that I had everything I needed during my stay. The cozy and comfortable atmosphere of the B&B added to the overall appeal. The rooms were beautifully decorated and provided a peaceful retreat after a long day of exploring. I especially appreciated the attention to detail and the well-maintained facilities. The proximity to all the graduation activities was a huge plus. Being able to walk to the nearby restaurants and shops made my stay even more convenient and stress-free. Overall, I highly recommend this bed and breakfast to anyone looking for a delightful and memorable experience. The combination of a great location, friendly staff, and comfortable accommodations make it the perfect choice for any occasion. I will definitely be returning in the future!

Absolutely loved my stay at the Grant Street Inn! My room was so charming—loved the Victorian feel with the comfy four poster bed. The staff was friendly and inviting. Upon arrival I was offered their snack of the day (yummy lemon bars) as well as coffee and tea. The hotel is very close to Campus—less than a 10 min walk to memorial Union. The breakfast of egg strata and bacon was delicious and they had an array of parties, cereals and fruit…and juices too. My only complaint is the noise at night….obviously not the hotel’s fault that young people want to have a party across the street, or police sirens passing by at 2am on the busy street out front. Next time I would def request a room NOT facing 7th. Having said that, I do look forward to staying here in the future!
Response from Jason on 2 May,2024
Thank you, Sarah, for the wonderful review! We are so pleased that you enjoyed so many aspects of your stay with us and described it all so vividly. We also appreciate your understanding about the noise from activity in the area. With graduation imminent and so many students done with their courses there has recently been an uptick in activity around the neighborhood late into the evenings. We can definitely place you in a room away from the street if you remind us of your preference when you book your next reservation. We also look forward to having you join us again.

Check in was easy, room was spacious and clean, within walking distance to restaurants and venues. Breakfast was excellent and fresh! The room was not very sound proof though. You could hear everything going on in the hall or next door. But not a deal breaker. I would definitely stay here again.

In town for the Total Eclipse. We liked that the Inn is located close to the restaurant and business area of town. It is in a safe area even though it is very close to Indiana University. We hadn’t expected a frat house directly in front of the Inn and on Eclipse day they had a huge very loud party going from morning till midnight. There was 30 to 50 people hanging out on the front porch, back yard, in the street and on the roof partying all day. We had never stayed at a bed and breakfast before and the breakfast left a little to be desired. We have had better breakfast at chain hotels offering free breakfast. Overall it is a very cute and safe property though. We didn’t like the fact that everyone tripled to quadrupled the regular rate for Eclipse day.

Response from Jason on 15 Apr,2024
Thank you, Robert, for the good review score. We are pleased that our location was a benefit during your stay with us. We are sorry that the noise from the surrounding parties during the eclipse was a disturbance. We filed a noise complaint with the police department although we cannot control their response time or what happens on private property nearby. We do make different breakfasts from scratch each day, so perhaps the options for that day were not compatible with your tastes but another day could be more to your liking. We also set our rates to be competitive among the rates being posted by all lodging options in the area. During big events it is typical for rates to increase substantially in accordance with increased demand. We hope you can join us again during a time of lower demand so you can see that visits here are usually quieter and more affordable.

There needs to be handrails on all the outside steps on ALL the buildings. Check in was easy; breakfast was great. The lady that works breakfast does a bang up job! She is fabulous. I don't know her name.

Thank you, Ann, for your good review. We appreciate your feedback about the lack of handrails for the 2 steps leading to the Dargan house, where you stayed with us, and we will look into solutions to make that more accessible. In the meantime we recommend that you request a room in one of our other buildings for any future reservations when you make the booking and we will see to it. As for the fabulous dining room attendant, that would be Ruthie. She always makes certain to see to all of our guests' needs during breakfast.

Response from Jason on 18 Mar,2024
Thank you for your feedback, Kevin. We are sorry that your experience during your stay was unsatisfactory. Your room was changed and upgraded from a queen bed room to a king at no additional charge to you, which put you in the room with the malfunctioning tv. Given that you stayed with us for just one night, we did not have time to replace the wall mounted tv in your room. We could have moved you to a different room but you declined that solution. It is also a shame that you did not enjoy our breakfast. Everyone's tastes are different, but the majority of our guests give our breakfasts high praise. Since we prepare a different breakfast every day from scratch, perhaps we would have one more to your liking should you join us again.

Staff is great. Rooms were cozy. They weren’t necessarily updated but clean and functional. Water pressure wasn’t great. Only other negative about our stay was our room location. We were under a stairwell and the noise carried easily. Overall great for the price. Location is hard to beat and loved being able to relax on the porch after walking around downtown.

The staff was friendly, professional, and helpful. The breakfast was nice (egg, ham, cheese, on an English Muffin, oatmeal w/ the fixin's [sic], yogurt, and so on). However, there was no glass in the room and inadequate supply of toilet paper compelling two trips downstairs and fingernail clippings on the floor in front of the sink. Not acceptable. Towels were great and shower was adequate.

I’ve stayed in the main house before and, although tired, was very pleasant. This time I stayed in the adjacent building and the room was subpar. There was a burn in my sheet - I’m sure it was clean, but with a black stain and fabric burnt away, the sheet should have been tossed. The furniture was also in bad shape. Time for an update. Too expensive to put up with this level of quality, or lack thereof.
