Reviewer Comments:
We were concerned before we arrived because we felt that we were being 'vetted' in order to stay at Grandview. Because it was a holiday week, we were required to provide all guests names and ages ahead of time. Everyone was supposed to be over 25 years or needed a guardian. We had to pay an upfront security deposit. And we were required to wear 'red/white/blue wrist bands' at all times so that no one would be allowed on the property who wasn't a paid guest. We were told that they would be enforcing 'quiet hours' from 10pm until 8pm with security on the property. We were please with these requirements because we were looking forward to a quiet, enjoyable stay. Unfortunately, this was SO far from the truth. The property was overrun with not only college age students, but high school as well. There was drinking, smoking, and loud partying all day and night. The kids would 'hang out' in the parking lot, which made it difficult to come in and out. We had a group of young kids knock on our door after 10pm looking for a party. At 3:30am and 4:30am, we had to disperse a loud group of kids that were 'hanging out' next to our door and bedroom windows. When I called the desk to complain at 10:15pm, I was asked for my cell phone number. I never received a call back and nothing changed. There were so many students who were not guests hanging out all over the property. I never saw a security guard the whole visit. For the amount of money we paid to have a relaxing stay, I went home exhausted and very disappointed! In talking with the desk attendant upon checkout, he shared that not all owners had to abide by these requirements. This was why the units around ours was filled with partying kids. The unit itself was very nice and the view was fantastic. The towns and area were great. Based on the expectations that were set in the many email communications,it was SO disappointing to have flown from out of state and spend this kind of money and experience what we did.
