Not too Grand

Hotel is located in a serene neighborhood with a pond and is spacious. However its noticeable vacancy was concerning and the hotel felt eary and ghostly (noticed not more than 2-6 guests in the hotel and restaurant combined during our 3 night stay). Hotel needs to upgrade their carpet flooring which has had its share of spills and stain marks on it. Room was clean, however upon arrival we found a pair of sucks laying on the floor inside the room and in front of its small refrigerator which presumably belonged to previous room guest. Central air conditioning makes constant clunking and jerking noise every time it starts or stops which prevents a quiet sleep also. Front desk staff was friendly and accommodated us for parking.
