I stayed at The Grove Hotel and it truly exceeded my expectations. The hotel was incredibly clean, without any strong cleaning odors. The beds were comfortable, even the bedding was softer than most other hotels I’ve stayed in. The staff went above and beyond with their helpfulness and kindness at checkin and the few times I had questions. Their hospitality made the stay even more enjoyable.
The location was perfect for people who enjoy walking. It was close enough for us to walk to the downtown area, with plenty of shops and restaurants. We kept our car parked at the hotel and had no issues with vandalism. I felt the car was well protected because the parking is so close to the rooms themselves.
The only downside was its proximity to a Veterans Center, which had the appearance of a homeless camp. That said, we walked by it multiple times during our stay and never encountered any issues. We felt safe the entire time. For reference we are women in our early 40s. I should note the street noise at night is LOUD and there is a fire station across the street that had trucks with sirens multiple times throughout the night. Bring earplugs if you want a good night sleep!
Overall, I’d recommend The Grove Hotel for anyone looking for a budget-friendly, clean, and well-located option with exceptional service!
