GUEST COMMENTS

Here's what our guests are saying about us...

__________

Excellent hotel in a very good location if you want a quiet neighborhood. Room was very clean. Parking is not as bad as some people complain about (we drive a large Ford Crown Victoria). Price was excellent. Shopping just a block away (walking distance). Convenient location to get to all major MB spots. Highly recommended and deserving of high rating that Trip Advisor has listed.

My husband and I stayed at the Grande Shores from Sept 29-October 3 and loved every minute of it. I had booked a room with two different hotels prior to this one, but based upon bad reviews I canceled and reserved a room with the Grande Shores. About two weeks prior to our stay there I got a little nervous because there were a couple of recent bad reviews about them, but all those worries went away once I got to the room! We had an Oceanfront King hotel room (couldn't get a condo). The bed was new and very comfortable, we had no problem sleeping. When we opened the door, the room was so clean you could smell it!! It was spotless! Our room was on the 6th floor, and they have a parking deck that goes til the 7th, so you get out of your car and are only steps away from your room, its awesome. The hotel staff was very kind, we called one night because we needed extra towels, and they brought them straight up. They have an amazing bar poolside, 2 lazy rivers, two outside pools, one indoor pool, lots of hot tubs, and plenty of vending machines. The beach was pretty quiet, only a handful of people on it each day, and the city comes by and puts out chairs and umbrellas in case you don't have your own!!!! We had a great time, and the hotel was everything I expected and more...and it was priced great! If you want a clean nice hotel that is also affordable and enjoyable, you would be a fool not consider the Grande Shores!
