It is what it is
We chose the Grouse Inn for its location and its relatively low price at the last minute. First the not-so-good. It doesn’t have much curb appeal. It’s laid out in a very dated 2-story motel style reminiscent of the ’50s or ’60s, which includes walking paths just outside your door and window. It’s hard to get in and out of during the afternoon rush hour due to the Lion’s Gate bridge backups. The free breakfast is almost not worth it. There’s toast, L’eggo waffles, and cereal served in a room that is woefully inadequate to handle the crush of guests, and you have to maneuver from the toast to the OJ like crossing a crowded dance floor. That said, it seems that they have kept up with the maintainence over the years, and overall it was pretty clean. They compensated for the dated carpeting, fixtures, and appliances with contemporary bed linens. Beds were comfortable. (Didn’t try the outdoor pool, which is situated in the middle of the parking lot.) Staff in the office was friendly and helpful enough. I’d recommend this hotel only if you can get a good deal and are just looking for a reasonable place to sleep. It’s definitely not the place if you are looking for decor, lots of personal service, or any kind of status.
Traveler's tip on local attractions
We really enjoyed Lynn Canyon Park (close by) and the Summer Night Market in Richmond (30-60 minutes away, depending on traffic).
