Remote checkin via text. A code is sent to you for entry to your room. Very old school decor but the bed and bedding is top shelf

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
While check-in was easy (though impersonal, mediated by no human beings in the flesh) and the owners of the property seemed to be nice via text messages (could have been AI), and while the bed was comfortable and sockets for charging plugs were conveniently located on the nightstand, the room was very small, there were no luggage racks or place other than the floor to put suitcases, and the brown shag carpet and floor slanting down toward the back of the room and the low bathroom counter and old bathtub were all signs of the age of the place and suboptimal maintenance. The ice machine didn't work, and the vending machine sold mostly sweet stuff. If it had been half the price, it would have been more worth it, but at $123 for the room we felt ripped off.

My favorite part is parking right in front of my room, unloading my things into the room, having a code to get into my room, and I really like the ambience of the TV being on the screensaver.

FABULOUS GEM! This place is super cool and a nice updated take on the “Route 66 roadside motel”. I arrived after riding a motorcycle across the state and the self check in was AMAZING. Room was super dooper clean. Mattress and pillows were comfy…I slept like a baby. The Roku TV was a nice touch. Great Mexican restaurant across the street.

One nightstand lamp did not provide enough lighting in the room. I believe, in time, improvements will be made to correct this.

The Grand Central is nothing fancy, but it is truly clean and comfortable. One of those last little motels that you can stay in that is safe clean and inexpensive. Loved it.
