The Mount Vernon Grand Hotel

We loved the hotel. Check in was easy and the receptionist was very friendly. I loved the hospitality drink center. The lemonade was delicious. Our room was perfect. The bed was the most comfortable bed we have ever slept on. The shower was amazing and we loved the rosemary mint soaps, shampoo, conditioner and lotion. The complimentary breakfast was very good. It had a lot of choices. We ate our breakfast on the beautiful front porch. The entire hotel was beautifully decorated. The location was great and it had free parking. Great stop we will definitely stay there again in the future.

My wife and I were taking a leisurely drive across Ohio and looking for a small town and quiet location to spend a little time. Upon a search, the Grand Hotel in Mt. Vernon popped up. This hotel was completely rebuilt from what was the original Curtis Inn that was built in the late 1800s and burned down in the 1940s. We love staying in older, historic hotels but the surprise with the Grand Hotel is it's really neither. The hotel looks and feels old, but it has modern plumbing, elevators, insulation, and windows. The temperature dropped to the single digits on our stay, but the room was toasty warm. The 24-hour coffee and tea service is a nice touch, as is the afternoon/ evening hot chocolate bar. The breakfast is great as they rotate several hot items daily, and always have the yogurt, cereal, breads, etc. Autumn was working when we stayed, and she was delightful to talk with. She gave us great information on the hotel and surrounding areas, as well as a couple of suggestions for dinner. Bill was working maintenance in the evening and took time out of his schedule to talk with us about the hotel history, restaurants, and other related topics. I traveled for many years on business, and it's rare to find a property that you feel comfortable and at home in. We felt appreciated as guests, and it's the personal touch that will bring us back for future stays.

What a pleasant surprise! From the time we checked in, the staff went above and beyond to be welcoming and suggest local restaurants and tell us about the area. The breakfast was great- more choices than an average hotel breakfast, and the beds were very comfortable. Really big room, and the hotel felt very fancy for the price point. Great place to stay if visiting Kenyon College

The hotel has beautiful public areas, the room was very comfortable (best pillows ever experienced in a hotel!), and the complimentary breakfast had excellent variety (chorizo breakfast scramble! Biscuits and gravy! Waffles!)

Centrally located helped get around town. Also the walking distance to restaurants was excellent.
