The area is in a busy location, and the valet parking is not actually valet parking. You have to park and walk inside to notify someone of parking. In the South where we are from, this is not concerned "valet parking". Especially if you are charged $60.00 per day to use, plus tips. The staff was also letting people park in the valet drop off areas, to walk inside the local coffee shops. Meaning when you returned, you had no area to park your returned vehicle. The room air conditioner doesn't ever seem to cool off. The thermostat in the room was set to 69, and never fall below 75 degrees.

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.

Stayed for one night and got stuck in a room in the basement with two other rooms and storage rooms, with these prices for one night no one should be getting a room in the lower level below ground, there was only one window which you cant reach to open the shade and walked into the room with stuff being in it like it was another storage room

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.

Parking is expensive and valet doesn't start in the morning until 7:00a. Thankfully, we didn't need to leave before then.
