    The history of the building is epic. We had the Queens room, where actually the Queen stayed. Unbelievable. It's really nice stuff in the bar as well. It was quiet and the beds were very compfie. We definitely recommend a stay here and coming back.

    We love the Grosvenor Hotel. Such a classic place to stay. And quiet. No road noise. Nicely renovated rooms on level 2. Great bar and dining area. We had dinner and breakfast there. Both good. Love the old elevator. Beats any motel. Good parking....

    I really liked that the hotel was pet friendly, which enabled me to bring my small dog on a family holiday. The staff made all of us feel very welcome. I would definitely stay here again and will be recommending it to others.
