Loved the Grand!

DH and I stayed Dec of 2005 in a garden view Boca Chica.

They lobby decor is very grand and I love the victorian type furnishings. The building are close together and easy to walk to. The grounds are clean and beautiful. We love the christmas decorations, especially the gingerbread house. It fills the whole lobby with a great scent. The location is fantastic for getting to the MK and we loved strolling the walkway to the Poly.

We had looked at pictures and watched the Great Hotels episode featuring it, but the room and furnishings were so much prettier in person. The beds were the most comfortable I have ever slept on in a hotel and we loved turn down service. We ordered the white chocolate Cinderella slipper for dessert in our room one evening and they set everything up beautifully. We had only ordered one and thought we would share, but they brought each of us one. It was a beautiful treat!

We didn't deal much with staff, but everyone was friendly. I would highly recommend this for a couple looking for romance and luxury, but even a family would enjoy the location and many amenities. It was a wonderful treat to stay there. The only con (and it can be a big one) would have to be the cost.
