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.

Staff seemed bothered to help and not friendly. No coffee maker in room, no shelf or platform for toiletries in the bathroom. Ice maker is on the first floor. Loud and noisy even from the fifth floor.

Beautiful, historic hotel. Clean and comfortable. Parking is a bit of a challenge, however. Valet is $50 tip! Honestly, that took the fun away from our stay. The Swann restaurant in the basement was nice but overpriced with mid-level service. I had the mahi and for $40 expected a more exciting dish. I had to go find my waiter for salt. Wine choices were very good. Positives and negatives of the stay but overall, I’d recommend.

Great hotel, excellent location. Only complaint is that our room was extremely cold at night even though heat was set on 80 (I think the large window was not very insulated and it was below 20 at night)- was not a problem when the weather warmed our last night there. The hotel did provide a space heater which was very convenient. Nice little bar downstairs and a cute pastry place right next door.
