Hi. I just booked a double queen oceanfront online with Grand Shores. It seems to be a good deal and a nice hotel. Has anyone stayed in the hotel area recently? What did you think? What kind of amenities do they provide, like breakfast, daily maid service, etc? Also, what restaurants and activities are nearby? I have a 16 year old girl, 9 year old son, and 7 year old daughter. I%26#39;m sure they will want more entertainment than sun, sand, and a hotel bed. :) Thanks!

p.s. I remember staying at the Beach Colony 8 years ago and lugging my infant son%26#39;s paraphanalia to the 26th floor. Won%26#39;t do something like that again!

Twizzlermom,

We are currently staying at the Grand Shores and we love it. We are in a two room ocean front suite. It is very clean, maids are thorough and polite, and the pools are great. There are two pools - ground floor and 7th floor. Both areas have several hot tubs and floating pools. There%26#39;s a nice playground, beach area is nice, and it is relatively close to everything. I have a 17 and 6 year old, and there are plenty of things to do. We also have free internet hook up, as we brought our laptop down. There%26#39;s a safe in the suites, but I don%26#39;t know about the other rooms. Hope this was helpful. We too are from Ohio - Middletown, but the 11 hour trip was worth it. Hope you enjoy your stay. P.S. There are 3 elevators and a parking garage!

I just go back from staying at the Grand Shores and I loved it the maids were very I mean very polite and everything was nice I am going back in 36 days to stay at Beach Colony and I am looking foward to it!!!

Thanks to both of you for replying. I was getting worried about my choice, but now I feel better. I%26#39;m looking forward to our trip next month. :) Any restaurants close by or anything else you feel that is worth mentioning? Thanks again!!

PS I%26#39;m glad I reserved my room about a week ago. I just checked through trip advisor and there aren%26#39;t ANY rooms left. I was kind of hoping to upgrade to a suite...but oh well. We%26#39;re only sleeping there. Anyone ever stay there in their ';spacious'; oceanfront rooms with two queens? There are five in our group and I wonder if we%26#39;ll have enough room. I did get a roll away. Thanks! :) The room was $131 a night through Expedia.

I booked about 2 months ago and got a 1 bedroom condo (1 king bed, with a quen pullout sofa and murphy bed) for $139 a night, I to was wondering about the hotel most of the research I came up with was positive, but would love to see more pictures of the place. We are going to be down there the week after next June 20-25, any idea what to exspect as far as weather, so far it looks like it will be raining alot?
