While our room was very clean and the furnishings quite new and pleasant we found the low profile bed and firm mattress not to our liking. There is a full flight of stairs to reach the rooms. The deck is a nice touch though, for us, the chairs were very uncomfortable.
What bothered us the most was the light from the large commercial billboard which flashed all night long lighting up our room and disturbing our sleep. Too bad they can't turn it off from 11pm to 7am.
We were there during the week so there wasn't too much noise from the restaurant and patio downstairs after 11pm
The location is in the centre of the action.
We would not stay there again.
The property was perfectly located, with everything close by.
However, the shower drain was clogged, making the shower experience rather uncomfortable. Despite this issue, the washroom itself was beautiful, and the rain showerhead was a wonderful addition that I would have loved to enjoy more if it weren't for the puddle of water caused by the poor drainage.
My husband and I stayed here for the weekend and had a wonderful time! The place was very clean, check-in/out was super easy, and the host was friendly and welcoming. Itâs located right above Crabby Joeâs, which makes it perfect if youâre looking for a lively area and some nightlife. We loved being right on the strip so everything Grand Bend has to offer was just a short walk away. Weâll definitely be back again and are already looking forward to it!
If you want to sleep at night or rest- donât come here. They conveniently and idiotically have a Club/dance floor and DJ that starts playing incredible loud music beflow your room from 9 pm until about 12:30-1:30 pm. It was impossible to rest. Then at 7 am you here them stacking chairs and converting things back to the restaurant below. So again, if you only are interested in sleeping from 12:30 am or later until 7 am then this place is for you! Terrible and illogical set up. Would never stay again.
Very hard to get a hold of personnel, calling and leaving messages from the day before checkin as no instructions were sent via email. Check in is through crabby joes, I found this to be bizarre, experience, it took 3 wait staff to figure this out which made it uncomfortable. Door entrance to rooms is always unlocked which allows accessibility to anyone off the streets. This is downright scary! Yes you lock your room door but anyone can be lurking in halls, thankfully we didnât have that experience. Parking is advertised free on website but then they charge $35 for the night. (The Manager comped it for us because of my reference)
Bed - the floor is just as comfortable - rock hard & pillows need upgrading. We barely slept and sore. Bottled water was provided which is a nice touch. Sheets were stained and there was no mattress cover. Guests are responsible to take out their own garbage??!!
Wonât be returning.
Room was clean and ready to go, cute and cozy. Check in was super easy and quick with parking available on site (did have to pay for, not included with pricing of the stay) only thing was shower I would say be scrubbed a bit better cleaning wise but other then that room was very clean aside from the shower. at night time because of the live dj downstairs at the restaurant it was quite loud until 1:30-2 am but not too bad if you kept the TV on during the night. Would come again!
Stairs,not enough sugar n spoons for coffee,restaurant closed when time to check out at 11,no screens on windows,didn't like the idea i had to get rid of take garbage to dumpsters need to have instructions for tv n air coditioner,toilet paper holder in bathroom in an inconvenient spot,shower stall n under bathroom vanity was dirty,only good thing was private parking space n good location ,did like the decor.
The room was nice but I wasnât aware that they were literally on top of crabby joes. If I knew this prior to booking I probably wouldâve booked something else in the area.
We had a great stay. The area is very walkable with so many shops and restaurants and a 5 minute walk to the beach. The check in went smooth, you check in at the Crabby Joes. We were allowed to park a few hours early and our room was ready an hour early. The room was very clean and spacious, the balcony was great and keurig machine and coffee pods in the room was a great touch. The only complaint is the bed was very hard and would probably hurt your back if sleeping in it multiple nights. The noise wasnât bad at all, but we expected it since the property is on the main strip above a restaurant. Thanks for a great stay!
this is such a great location right on Grand Bend's main strip. Lots of action, stores, ice cream, restaurants and people watching. Gorgeous roll-up garage windows in Room #1 overlooking Grand Bend Strip. Newly renovated. Check-in and finding the front door was a little confusing, but we met the owner at Craby Joe's and he gave us a tour and handed over the keys. You can either pay for parking in the back or take your chances with the free parking across the street. Not the quietest stay but you were centrally located in the hub of Grand Bend. What more could you ask for. I would definitely return. The only thing tiny issue we experienced was that the shower drain and the bathroom sink drain were slow to drain. Which can be a quick fix with just some Draino :-)
I like the area, and the bed was comfortable, and it was nice to have coffee in the room. The only thing was that the parking wasn't good and very expensive. I think they should have better parking for those staying here. Maybe let them have free parking if they stay overnight, not 50 dollars. My friend enjoys staying here, but is just disappointed in the parking
