I recently stayed at Grand city hotel and unfortunately, my experience was tainted by their rigid check-in policy. Despite requesting an early check-in due to a grueling 25-hour flight, I was shocked to be charged an exorbitant $50 fee just to check in 2 hours early. This felt like a blatant money grab and showed a lack of empathy towards tired travelers. While the hotel itself was comfortable, but very noisy because of construction work, this unnecessary charge left a sour taste in my mouth and I cannot recommend it to others."
