This hotel is a heritage property which makes it an interesting place to stay, and it's in a really nice area (very close to painted ladies!). It nice becuase the suburb does not feel touristy. The room was nice and comfy. There's no elevator and the luggage needs go up a separate machine, which needs to be done by the hotel receptionist. In terms of extra amenities, the hotel does not really have any (except some free tea in the tiny front foyer). The front receptionist seemed angry and was rude because we checked out 20 minutes late.

There is a McDonalds and Trader Joe’s in walking distance. Street parking was available (but observe the signs for street cleaning). Public transportation passes by in close proximity but did not bother me. Cute Victorian houses.

Temperature of the room was way too warm. If you open the windows, the noise from the street makes it too hard too sleep. We mentioned it to the front desk, and they said the would look into it . It was actually warmer after that. We did not sleep well at all any of the nights during our stay. Otherwise staff was nice, location was very good and in a safe neghborhood. Check-in was really easy. Room was clean as advertised. Wish we could have been able to sleep.

So glad we chose to stay at the Grove. It’s in a pretty, safe neighborhood, walkable to great restaurants and shops. Check in was quick and easy, and the room was small (to be expected in this part of town) but comfortable and clean.
