"Loved the adult only hours for the pool area, breakfast was pretty good with a decent variety. Bed was comfortable and our room was spacious, clean and no major issues. Only thing I have to suggest is a bell/pager for the front desk!

"Staff were all friendly, the waterpark was awesome and clean, i love that they have an arcade and plenty of breakfast options. The room was clean and cozy and well stocked. The only complaint I have is the long lines for the 1 small elevator in the lobby. I had a stroller so i couldnt just squeeze in with other. All of the other guests i met were also very kind. "

"A family wedding was planned at Grand View Lodge. Everything was perfect. Lovely room, good food and the chapel was beautiful. The Heritage Room for reception was light due to windows in the ceiling. All in all it was a wonderful experience. I would definitely recommend it."

"This is a great hotel at an affordable price. I stayed during the week on a Thursday night so the water park stuff for kids was closed which was perfect for my stay. Clean, quiet, convenient and priced great. "
