Great Hotel, will return.
We had a great stay at The Grady. The room was comfortable and clean. I actually forgot my expensive custom pillow and they were kind enough to ship it back to me. I docked it one star because water pooled on the bathroom really badly, even though we were careful and used the bath mat. Other than that it was excellent.

Lovely hotel with room for improvement
Our stay at The Grady, though brief, provided a welcome night of hospitality and comfort on a long road trip. We enjoyed the ambience—-a bit quirky with a strong vibe of twenties fun. Excellent bourbon cocktails and small plates at the basement restaurant and an even more delectable breakfast the next morning. I would have appreciated more amenities in the room—-Molton and Brown toiletries, a club chair and ottoman for corner reading, room service….these typical boutique hotel gestures are noticeable missing. In the whole, a pleasant stay. We will visit again.

Great hotel, excellent location. Only complaint is that our room was extremely cold at night even though heat was set on 80 (I think the large window was not very insulated and it was below 20 at night)- was not a problem when the weather warmed our last night there. The hotel did provide a space heater which was very convenient. Nice little bar downstairs and a cute pastry place right next door.

LOVE all the thoughtful design touches throughout, and great location. Gym across the street, great restaurant on property and more nearby. Only negative was no in-room coffee- it’s in the lobby. Otherwise- perfect.
