GrandStay Hotel & Conference Apple Valley 7083 153rd Street West, Apple Valley, MN 55124

"MUCH better value than the nearby hotel that I usually have stayed at; room costs were about the same, but paid 1/3 less of total cost since GrandStay did not charge absurdly expensive fees. I did have very poor internet access in my room (419), but my friends on the third floor had no problems. The shower fixtures could use updating, but the suite was furnished comfortably & the bed/bedding was wonderful. Only dealt with one staff member, but he was delightful! Would definitely recommend GrandStay & will return!"

"We were looking for a fun local trip with the kids. The apartment-like layout was attractive. However, the rooms needed a high amount of repair. Please see pictures. The smoke detector was hanging from the ceiling. The paint above the shower was flaking off the ceiling. The tub didn’t drain, and there was a weird purple stain around the faucet and electrical outlet on the sink. In addition, they did not have an extra blanket and sheet set for the pullout couch in the living room. It’s the first time we’ve stayed in a hotel with a pull out couch that didn’t have extra bedding in the room without asking. When we asked, the attendant said extra bedding was in the wash and we could have it delivered later."

"We were in town for a funeral and the location was great. Very close to funeral home, church and family. Price was reasonable. My only complaint is that the walls seem thin or not well insulated. The person in the room next to us turned the TV on at 4:30 am. It woke me up and I couldn't go back to sleep. I don't think it was extremely loud, just on."

"Pros: rooms have good thermostats to adjust temperature. Nice hot jacuzzi. Quality breakfast Cons: wifi is 100% useless. You’re better off using data or bringing a hot spot for your room. They need to get a maintenance team when stuff breaks down. My room’s microwave didn’t work and they couldn’t fix it or the pool disability chair. Not a bad hotel to stay in, but it does require improvements."

"The staff were friendly and pleasant. Rooms were spacious. Only problem was the windows were filthy and the air conditioner wasn't working until I took the filters out and cleaned them. They were plugged. I was traveling with a 3 year old and cleanliness was important. I must say that everything else was clean and tidy. And again the staff were amazing!!"
