Stayed for one night and got stuck in a room in the basement with two other rooms and storage rooms, with these prices for one night no one should be getting a room in the lower level below ground, there was only one window which you cant reach to open the shade and walked into the room with stuff being in it like it was another storage room

Lovely hotel with room for improvement

Our stay at The Grady, though brief, provided a welcome night of hospitality and comfort on a long road trip. We enjoyed the ambience—-a bit quirky with a strong vibe of twenties fun. Excellent bourbon cocktails and small plates at the basement restaurant and an even more delectable breakfast the next morning. I would have appreciated more amenities in the room—-Molton and Brown toiletries, a club chair and ottoman for corner reading, room service….these typical boutique hotel gestures are noticeable missing. In the whole, a pleasant stay. We will visit again.

Great hotel for a quick getaway. Everything you need is in one spot. The rooms are incredibly comfortable. The icing on the cake is definitely the boxing robes. Everyone who works there goes above and beyond at all times whether it be the front desk, maid or the valet, I will definitely be a repeat customer at this hotel

I enjoyed my stay at the Grady. It’s such a beautiful boutique hotel and the staff are super friendly and helpful. Checking into the hotel was easy and the process was seamless. The rooms were spacious and very clean. The bed was comfortable and I had no issues with the heater in the room as I visited in the month February which was during winter. There is a restaurant downstairs and also nearby restaurants / cafes. I would highly recommend The Grady and I will definitely be returning again soon.
