Grand River Hotel

I was very impressed with this hotel. It is weird that they charge for self parking but other than that a great hotel.

Very conviently near restaurants, although there is a fee for parking and they charge for breakfast. Overall the room was clean, but the showers leak water onto the floor.

Even when the heater didnt work they had no issue getting me moved so my kids would be warm. Excellent service

It was clean and when I had a problem with the hair dryer they jumped right on in and had it fixed within minutes. However, they charge $15 a night to park in their own parking lot and $15 a person for a breakfast I wouldn’t have eaten had I known how bad it was. Like really bad for $15.

Nice place but to pay to park is something that should come with the room $14 on top of the room is to much for what you get

The new manager of the Grand River is doing an excellent job. I stay there about once per month, sometimes for 2-3 days in a row. I live in the Roaring Fork Valley but I go to the Grand Valley often as a short getaway and I get a lot of work done in my room where the WiFi is excellent. They always keep the jacuzzi running well and also the laundry facility. This is my favorite hotel in the Glenwood Springs-to-Grand Junction I-70 corridor. The staff overall is friendly and accommodating. The views of the Colorado River wetlands from the third floor are very nice. I wish TCM was on the TV lineup but that’s a minor issue and I can get it on my computer anyway! I love the Grand River in Parachute and also its sister property, the Grand Vista. And you can’t get a better price anywhere. Kudos!

Adding in a $14 “parking fee” is a rip off and feels like a way for them to get reservations because of the inexpensive rate, but then add in $14 when you arrive. Still was a fine stay though, no complaints besides the parking fee.

Room was clean and comfortable. We ate at the restaurant and it wasn’t great. Somehow both burnt and undercooked.

there are a couple things to note here. The first is the exceptional staff - the men I talked to about staying there the night I got there were great, and very helpful! I have a few inconveniences which is causing me to rate this property 3 stars. First, the price was advertised as $58 on ******* with free breakfast. Breakfast is not in fact free and costs $14.95. This wasn't an issue for me since I was going to be leaving to get coffee and food at the coffee shop across the street anyways but it's misleading to those who would partake in breakfast. Second, the parking is $14!! it seems a little weird to charge for parking, especially in a place with literally zero people. This also makes the price of $58 for the night i was staying misleading because it's actually $72. Something to think about (apparently, most/all the hotels in Parachute, CO seem to charge for parking. Go figure.) Third and finally, the state of the room was totally fine, except one of the bath towels had a lot of stains (presumably makeup stains). I'm used to seeing these sorts of stains since my fiance sometimes uses a towel to take makeup off, but in a hotel, it makes it appear as if they didn't clean the towel. For the record, all the other towels (three of the four bath towels, both hand towels and both wash clothes) were stain free. I suppose if i hadn't picked the one bath towel i did, I would not have noticed it. Seems like something that should be noted!
