I stayed I another GrandStay in Becker in January 2022. It was nice but one particular staff member made that stay amazing. I took a chance that this one might be similar.
I was wrong.
It’s only two floors so there’s no elevator. So I had to lug my bags up the stairs then back down when I left. Not a terrible thing. But inconvenient.
On the second floor, in at least two different places, there were discarded curtains (that were being replaced) lying on the floor in the hallway. I was there two nights and they never moved. Not only was this an eyesore, it was a fire hazard. Very unprofessional.
When I walked into my room the bed was made but looked as if someone had been lying on it. There were ripples in the covers. I let that go but it stuck in my mind anyway.
The breakfast was truly lacking. Waffles are nice to have occasionally. But these days it seems like they’re the only option. The only other hot items were sausage patties the first morning. Only small omelettes the second morning.
The waffle mix was made so thin that it came gushing out, filling my cup and splattering the counter and my hand. (I had to go upstairs to wash up because there was no public restroom nearby.) I decided to try the waffle mix anyway and it was completely tasteless.
Not a horrible place to stay. But definitely doesn’t live up to its name.
