    We have stayed here before, but never on the 2nd floor. We do not recommend staying in any of the lower floors. The people upstairs sounded like they had a stomp session going on at 2 am and at 6am we could hear the guy next to us hacking so loud it sounded like he was in our bathroom! So it was a rough night. The bed, sheets, and AC are great though!

    Very expensive overnight valet $50. Although auto valet was kind and helpful, there was no one available to assist with our baggage in the hotel.. Very nice in room robes. BUT the coffee maker in the room was horrible. Complicated apparatus and the “Vietnamese” coffee was weak and had no flavor.

    All aspects of property were well maintained and clean. I liked the decor as well.

    Unique, charming hotel in a historic site. Hotel staff, waiters and bartenders were all amazing. Visited during a Bourbon Trail Tour and definitely helped make the experience. Highly recommend!!

    We loved this hotel. It was clean, close to our activities and the staff was friendly.

    Parking is valet or a block away that needs to be paid ahead. Would have been nice to know ahead of time.

    Perfect boutique hotel!

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    My only complaint was that the maid did not restock the makeup remover or hand lotion or empty the trash in the room. She made the bed and replaced the towels. That’s it. Other than that the hotel was amazing. Staff was friendly the place had such charm and character and was in a great location. Loved everything but the maid. The restaurant was incredible and David the bartender was as so cool friendly helpful and creative. Went above and beyond very time we sat down for a drink. Love the place. Will return!!

    The Grady is worth booking for sure. Rooms have 15 ft high ceilings, comfortable bed, luxury living! And make your way to The Wild Swann. Great food and drinks.

    Overpriced. The lobby staff was...

    If you are looking for the perfect place to stay, look no further. This hotel absolutely exceeded expectations in every way! You truly cannot beat it. It is in a fantastic, central location that makes exploring a breeze. Every corner of this property is beautifully curated and photo-worthy. What really sets this hotel apart, though, is the service. The staff members are incredibly helpful, attentive, and genuinely friendly. From the seamless check-in to the fantastic local recommendations, they went above and beyond to make my stay memorable.

    I LOVE The Grady! The rooms are wonderful and the staff is like family. I’ve stayed there many times and always have a good experience. The restaurant is great for breakfast and dinner. Very nice.

    Great vibe. Clean & comfortable. Valet/baggage assistant was very professional and accommodating. Airplane noise.

    I feel like this hotel wants to be a boutique luxury property but it just misses. I wouldn’t categorize as luxury, but rather elevated eclectic. The rooms are really minimal, not luxurious, but comfortable with nice robes and toiletry products. And while the restaurant/bar is very understaffed, the servers were very friendly and did their best. We would co aider staying again.

    Our stay here was as lovely as can be. What a gem of a hotel! The staff truly love their building. They can wait to tell you the history. Don’t skip brunch at the Wild Swan. YUM!!!!
