My family and 2 dogs stayed for nights... and 2 days later finding ourselves back in town... our first choice was Rum river motel! Even without a pool my 2 boys we're quite content. A pleasure to find a motel at an affordable price with a clerk that knows how to smile!! Ty Raj 4 all u do!

It looks like they have all new carpeting throughout, updated furniture, etc. Nothing in our room, or the common areas is raggedy... much nicer than the Holiday Inn Express we stayed at the other night on the way! The staff is just plain awesome... friendly, helpful. We had some friends come to play in the pool, and while they charge a little bit for it, it's a pittance to get some swimming in when it's 26 degrees outside! The pool is good sized, and they have a changing/restroom area for outside guests. They also have a good-sized hot tub. All-in-all, this is my new go-to place to stay when we're in town.

I understand that this motel is not a highly rated 5-star facility. I knew that going in. This review is purely to provide a level of "buyer beware" for future attendees.

There was a nicely manicured area and a perfect aisle with chairs on both sides. This was a very picturesque site, and just perfect for the 20+ guests. If you plan on having your intimate wedding here, forgo the canned music and have a real musician play guitar, violin, or any stringed instrument. It will take your experience to a higher level, and make it a magical Fairytale Wedding! It truly will! M I C R O W E D D I N G H E R E!

The Grand Stay is a smallish midwestern chain and there happened to be on in town so I grabbed a room for a few nights Small but nice lobby greets you as you walk in and the attentive fellow behind the desk got me squared away with a room in short order. I was up on the third floor so hopped the elevators and headed up. Elevator arrived and operated in the normal amount of time - so all good. Room was nicely appointed and clean. Bathroom was good sized, well lit and functional. Hot water was hot. There is a large indoor pool available, but I did not have the time to do anything there. They offer a free breakfast in the morning but to be honest, it was very basic. Coffee was decent however. The building is situated on the edge of a strip mall and there is an Italian sports bar there if you feel the need to grab something to eat and watch the game. Parking lot was a bit small and cramped, but got the job done. Overall a solid 3-star hotel and I would stay here again if in the area.

We come here a few times a year and have had birthday parties for our daughters there. It's priced fairly as well! We spent nearly 6 weeks there with our 3 daughters, dog and cat as we waited for our new home to be finished. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful. We felt like we were family by the time we left! They provide a bigger than normal continental breakfast with waffles, variety of donuts and mini muffins along with a hot meal option from eggs to bacon and sausage to biscuits and gravy. Definitely nice to have some options. The cleaning staff are very nice and always willing to help! Definitely recommend this hotel if you have to stay for an extended period of time or just a night!! Thanks for a great experience!

When we arrived, we noticed there was a health number of stairs (not handicap/limited mobility accessible) which led to the boutique hotel floor. I would categorize this more like an air bnb since there was no front desk concierge or turn down service and you are given a keycode access at check in time. The room/space was adorable with a full kitchen, bathroom, and good amount of seating (think well designed studio apartment). There is a coffee shop located in the main floor below the hotel and also- Red Bench is like 3 doors down. Highly recommend for guests when they come into town or a Lil' getaway for a couple or small family!
