The pullout bed was dirty, there was ketchup on the table legs, (we didn’t eat in). We used to stay here frequently up until around 2020, it was better then. For the price I paid, it served its purpose, but your breakfast needs a lot of improvements.

This is the second time we’ve stayed while in town visiting friends and family. We’ve stayed here because the location is great and the price is right. We have two boys, ages 12 and 15, and booked the two-bedroom suite to give everyone their own space. Unfortunately when we arrived and got up to our room, it was the wrong room. They had assigned a regular room with two queen beds. So we hauled all our stuff back downstairs. Eventually we were placed in the correct room after the housekeepers cleaned it. This mix-up made us late for our dinner plans with friends. And the room wasn’t completely clean. After three nights, I discovered a pair of men’s red Wrangler underpants, inside out, right in the space between the headboard and mattress. (They were not my husband’s.) There was spoiled, expired milk in the fridge at breakfast. The waffle makers are great; my kids enjoyed having waffles in the morning. Our kitchenette had no silverware. The handicap-accessible shower was less than pleasant. We were only given three bath towels for four people but were able to go get more. The exercise room is sad. There’s a treadmill, an elliptical and a recumbent bike. There are no free weights or room to mow in there anyway. We were on the second floor and it was very loud, around the clock. You can hear the door at the top of the stairs constantly opening and slamming shut, kids running down the hallways, upstairs, downstairs, everywhere. The walls are paper thin. You can hear everything.

Had a 7 night stay. After the first morning we didn’t eat there again. We went to Perkins Restaurant every day. Lousy choices, lousy food, shortages of most of the items available. The room was okay. Kitchen table had dried paint on it. Virtually no silver ware or cooking utensils and plates or glasses or Cups. The shower was awful. It’s a so called accessible bathroom. I pity the power handicapped person that gets this room in the future. The shower head which could be hand held was NOT adjustable. The water came out at a velocity that literally was painful to your skin and especially sensitive areas. I personally spoke to the hotel person in duty and explained the issue and they said they had no complaints. I don’t believe it for a minute. We asked for a room change as this was following our first night stay of a 7 night stay. They said they could Not Change our room. I was told we couldn’t get a refund be ause we booked thru hotels.com. We literally left and paid another hotel in Eagan, MN about 6 miles away so we paid for two hotel stays at rhe same time as we couldn’t stay the rest of the time at the GRANDSTAY in Apple Valley, MN. We have stayed at this Grand stay 5-6 different times over the last 5-6 years and sidnt encounter any issues that couldn’t be resolved. After this horrible stay we will never stay here again.
