The hotel was located where I needed to be, so I wasn't too concerned about the shops nearby. There are quite a few places within walking distance. The staff was extremely polite and helpful. Definitely recommend staying here as I would definitely again in the future.
The room was clean, and the staff were nice! Would stay again!

Liked: Cleanliness
clean room, welcoming staff, comfortable and calm lobby. only drawback was a lack of outlets in the room (1?) and it didnt work. i used the power strip for the refri and coffee maker. would def stay again, hopefully this was just an anomaly.
The room was small but not tiny and all the amenities were nice. The staff was friendly. Other reviews complained about the noise and homeless people but neither were prevalent union my late night arrival or stay.
Nice old renovated building, beautiful wood, friendly and helpful staff, good comfort level.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Staff was very helpful and the rooms are beautiful and seemed clean. Solid location too. Quite a few things to do and restaurants within walking distance.
Clean room, great location walking distance to many of the vintage shops, restaurants and bars we were planning to visit. Finding free street parking became a game for us so we didn't have to pay the high priced valet parking fee. We were also upgraded to a nicer room category but it ended up being right on the corner facing the construction noise outside that started as early as 7am and one day went on until 2am. Honestly, a great value hotel and very kind staff so I would absolutely return hoping this construction situation was a one off.
We always stay here when we are in this part of town. Always a good experience

We had a family emergency and were not able to visit the hotel. Because we booked thrid party, they were not able to refund or provide a raincheck. But the staff was very nice on the phone.
This was a very cool place to stay and great location. Room was nice and the staff were very helpful - there was one issue with my room and I asked the manager if he would be willing to comp a small part of the mini bar fee which he did so I appreciate that very much. Would definitely recommend the Grand Stark to anyone looking for accommodations in the area.
Room was kinda clean. The bed was gross. Yellow stains, shower was not clean. Hotel staff was absolutely pleasant! Lacks so many amenities.

Check in was great, the food and drinks were excellent. The room wasnt fully cleaned, hair in bathroom drain and bathroom not very clean. Counter was dirty as well, but everything else was fine.
They charged me from somethibg from the mini bar yet I didnt take anything. I had snacks, drinks and food so the mini bar/ snax were unnecessary.
I still really like the hotel and would try it one more time.
