    inside one draw..half the others the same

    My daughter and I stayed at this hotel last year in May. This May we also booked a room for three days. However this year, I found the room VERY lacking in Cleanliness! There was food smeared in two places on the front of the microwave, as well as on the inside door window. The desk chair covering had a few stains on it...yuk. Put a pillow case over that to sit on it. There were also little piles of dirt in half the draws. While the bathroom looked clean, it seemed very obvious that the shower metal features had old soap scum on them. Gross. I doubt the shower tub was even cleaned! And there was built up soap scrum on the wall soap holder. All the light switches had black dirt on, under and behind them. The toilet paper holders also had spots on them, like they don't get cleaned and shined. I am a professional house cleaner and I know built up dirt when I see it. There was a letter on the desk by the CEO, Tim Lewis, telling us how they are making an extra effort to make sure their rooms are nice and clean. That made me LOL! After sending Mr. Lewis an email and also leaving a voice mail message, I got No reply at all. So, because of that I am now writing this review of my visit here for others to see! The Quality of the Grand Vista has gone down.

    Room entry door inch wide open spaces around the frame , unsafe and allow noise in

    This Hotel is filthy and unsanitary, carpets unwashed , dirt everywhere. Cracks in the sides of the entry room door . No in room safe as was advertised on their web site . Walls paper then we were up all night listening to people wal around and a baby crying all night . Rude foul mouthed reception at the front checking in, curse words nasty foul words exchan between employees,

    Bed bug.

    I was looking forward to staying here. The lobby was nice and building was nostalgic. Before I can unpack and get ready for bed I pulled a corner of the blanket over and saw a bed bug. The response I got it "Oh wow you usually don't see them" implying they're common and well hidden. I was offered another room, not even a refund or a meal. I will not be staying here again. I travel for business and will give my money to another hotel.

    Mold on the ceiling by the bathroom door....

    When the reservation was made, the continental breakfast was included with the $700+/ 5 night fare I had paid.  Upon going to the restaurant, they asked me to give them a ticket for the breakfast. Ok... No problem... Went to the front desk, and asked for a ticket. The woman behind the counter and manager were both illogical and refused to provide me with the breakfast ticket I had paid for. Then they had the audacity to say that I had to pay an extra $15 per day for this. They tried to utilize technical language, to come up with answers such as "we have been having problems with the restaurant", etc. I knew they were all lying right through their teeth, in front of me. Any other place would have been more accommodating and more logical about the situation. I saw people getting continental breakfast cards handed right to them, as they passed the front desk. The agents didn't even look up their info. This infuriated me even more. Since they have decided to string me along with their bullshit, I'll reveal some ugly discoveries in my room...  My room's bathroom had a cigarette odor entrapped in it. I don't smoke, and had no idea where the scent was coming from. I had to prop the door with a garbage can to allow the AC to get rid of it. There was mold buildup on the bathroom ceiling, due to moisture and the door closing automatically. A shower tile was literally ready to fall out, with the press of one finger. The towels and bedding are as cheap as you can imagine.  I read other negative reviews about this place, and agree with the obvious ones. This place needs a MAJOR management and staff change. It also needs some renovations. I'm a carpenter, and can easily point things out. There is no way I'm coming back here again. They just want more money, and will do anything to get it. My advice for you, would be to book your stay ELSEWHERE. I am being VERY GENEROUS, by giving them 2 stars!

We had plans to dine elsewhere and when we arrived it was a sold out event even though I was never told that when I called earlier in the week that there was going to be a different situation (that is another story for later) So here we were a party of four looking to dine somewhere locally at prime dinner hour and striking out. My wife called MB Grille as we were already heading in that direction and talked to Alice and she allowed us to put our name on the list with the intent of us arriving in 10 minutes. We did arrive on time and the place was packed, we did get seated shortly after we arrived and Riley was our server. What a friendly easy going helpful person she was, answering questions that we had and getting answers for the questions she didn't have. Very attentive checking on us numerous times. We have dined here before and the fish is always fresh and cooked to perfection, Oysters are always good and the cocktails always spot on and refreshing. Big shout out to Riley on this one, great service is just as important as delicious food. And a great hostess such as Alice keeps the incoming customers flowing and happy and feeling welcome. Thank you both for making a fall out evening into a dining pleasure. Well done Riley and MB Grille, as always we will see you again soon. Bon Appetitto

They were incredibly accommodating and the service was outstanding from start to finish. GM Jaimie was also very attentive and checked in on our table throughout the evening, which made us feel genuinely taken care of. Our server, Brian, was fantastic!!! friendly, super attentive, and always one step ahead of anything we needed. He truly made the experience even better. The drinks were all excellent. I tried the house white wine, the peach martini, and the espresso martini, and every single one was a 10/10. The happy hour menu had great options, and all of our food came out fresh, hot, and absolutely delicious! Between the exceptional service, great atmosphere, and amazing food and drinks, Larsen's made such a great first impression. I'll definitely be back with my family and our moms' group. 10/10 Highly recommend!

    Let me first start by saying, the food is delicious (when cooked to the right temperature), but the…read moreservice, that's a bit questionable. The other night we checked in for our reservation & the hostess proceeded to take us to our table. She initially took us to a table set for 6, meanwhile we were a party of 7, so she motioned for us to sit at the next table, which was set for 7 people. Upon walking to our table & pulling out our chairs, a man in a suit, who I presume was the manager, asked if we had been helped. He completely caught us off guard because we hadn't even sat down yet. I answered him yes, & then he proceeded to tell me that usually someone from the front would walk us to our table (as if we had just walked into the restaurant & sat ourselves). What?! I responded & told him the host did. In actuality, she walked us to the vicinity of our table, not right up to our table, but that's a discussion for him to have with the hostess. Being we were customers & this was a nicer restaurant in comparison to a more casual or fast food place, the way in which the manager confronted us & handled the situation was completely unprofessional. Anyways, the rest of our party soon joined us & after ordering drinks & a couple of appetizers, we ordered our food. Well, out of the 3 medium well steaks we ordered, all 3 were brought to us rare (red & much more raw inside than we prefer, or ordered). We sent all 3 back & when they came back, they were better, but still not medium well). This is surprising because being Larsen's is a steakhouse, I would think the cooks would be able to gauge the temperatures more accurately. Needless to say, the seasoning they use gives their steaks a delicious flavor, so we did enjoy that. Another issue we encountered was our waiter, although very nice, took the initiative of charging our party for extra kids chicken tenders, simply because our friends' daughters were sharing them & had asked for an extra plate. While that was a kind gesture, he should have asked their parents if they would like extra tenders, not just do it & then charge us. Also, my friend's husband ordered 2 sides with his prime rib, thinking it came with 2 sides. When the bill came it reflected the $10 additional side, so he asked the waiter about how it, to which the waiter responded that the menu clearly states that it only comes with one side. I understand that & our friend's husband clearly didn't see that (nor did we pay attention when he ordered it, we were talking), but typically in cases like this, the waiter would let the person know that they would be happy to accommodate their request, but that the extra side will be an additional charge. After being at the restaurant for over 2 hours between the slow service, issues with our steaks, & discrepancies over the additional charges (which the waiter did take care of), we left a little less than satisfied with the restaurant, & the waiter was clearly not happy with us. Although the waiter took care of everything, not once did the manager come back to our table to apologize or ask how everything was. Usually when there's an issue, the manager will stop by the table to check in. I don't know that we'll be returning to this location.

Our server seem to be really new and not knowing what she was doing. It was frustrating having to ask for everything the whole time. We decided to get the meat lovers skillet, tricolor burrito, fiesta omelette, French toast. I asked for the shredded beef for my tricolor burrito, I also asked for no onions as this was another ingredient with this burrito. When I got my burrito, I thought there was a lot of onions. So I asked the server. She went to the kitchen and asked and was told that the shredded beef comes with onions. I believe that since I had mentioned, I don't want any onions, it would have been great to mention that the shredded beef already has onions so we would have chosen another meat option and not send the dish back to the kitchen. After I received my plate, saw so many onions, decided to mention it to the server and that's when she went back to the kitchen to ask, then realized it has the onions. And when I asked for asada meat, I was told it's extra. All this conversation, the server keeps coming back-and-forth to the kitchen, which was really frustrating. I end up getting the chicken, it was a good option. Our family liked the meat, lovers skillet, and the French toast Food was good however I would not be returning because the service was absolutely horrible
