Liked: Room comfort
The first day we got there the hot water did not work The staff was very polite on the casino floor and front desk parking
Mary Kay welcomed us to the hotel and was very efficient in checking us in and letting us know where to go. First time staying here as everywhere else was sold out. Will be back.
I lost my phone/wallet at one of the slot machines and everyone from the wonderful cocktail server, the front desk people, and the security team, all took the incident very seriously. They checked cameras, and found my phone. This is a fantastic team at the Grand Z, and we will be staying here every time.
The room was extremely small and DIRTY. We’ve stayed here many years & it has steadily declined. The elevators are a pain to get up to the rooms. And most especially when they aren’t working, which is what happened when we were there. Had to be taken on the employee freight elevator to get up to the rooms. We will not be staying here ever again.
