The hotel offers a lovely view of the ocean and is just across the street from a rocky beach, making it a nice spot for a getaway. The balcony is a highlight, and the rooms are clean but could use some updates. However, the non-smoking policy wasn't enforced, and the bathroom lacked space for personal items. Overall, it's a decent stay but might not be the best option for someone looking for luxury.

Staying at the Grandview Motor Inn was a pleasant experience overall. The best part was definitely the stunning view of the ocean, and I appreciated the cozy balcony which made our stay nicer. Although the location is great for the beach, the rocky area right across from the hotel was a bit disappointing. The room itself was clean but had its share of drawbacks, such as limited storage and some maintenance issues. I would consider returning, but there are definitely areas that could use improvement.

My experience at the Grand View was wonderful, making it a perfect spot for a romantic getaway. The views are stunning, especially from the balconies, however, the narrow stairs to the upper floors were a bit of a challenge. The staff went above and beyond during our stay, which added a personal touch to the visit. Overall, it was a memorable celebration, though certain aspects like room amenities could use some updates.

The hotel has an amazing location right across the street from the ocean, which made for stunning views. The rooms are clean and comfortable with private balconies, perfect for relaxation. However, some issues with smoking on nearby balconies and limited space in the bathrooms detracted from the experience. Overall, it was a wonderful stay but could use some updates and improvements in certain areas.
