Grand Victorian - Spring Lake

Old terrible tv need new shower curtain and rod

This property was sold a year ago. For older people, difficult climbing stairs 15 straight up, no help with getting luggage up the stairs, there was one young man supposedly to help, but was not very helpful The front porch is rented out to chief which has nothing to do with the property, does not do breakfast etc. location is right next to Breakers but certainly can’t compare.

Review We stayed for a week at the end of June 2023. The hotel was recently bought by a company that owns resorts further south. We were told this is their first boutique hotel. It seems that so far they are keeping the beautiful and quaint aspects of this location. Pros ⁃ Amazing location: right across the street from the water. You have an access badge to Spring Lake beach. A few blocks from the downtown area for good restaurants. On site restaurant is good but gets a bit loud (Amelia’s by the Sea). ⁃ Room 15 was good: we had our own spacious bathroom and it was at the end of the hotel. Bright and clean. No view but relatively quiet and large closet. Comfortable bed with super soft bedding. ⁃ AC worked! ⁃ Bikes available (fun) and even golf cart for town trips. ⁃ Alison, the manager is a gem. She is from here and had good tips. We enjoyed visiting some lighthouses she recommended. ⁃ Bikes, beach towels, chairs, and umbrellas all free and plentiful. Cons or Meh ⁃ Street parking: seems some rooms have designated spots on site. For the rest of us, parking on street during day and across the street in the diagonals at night. We always found spots but wondering how it gets during the busier summer time. ⁃ No real lobby or chill area. Outside there are chairs and umbrellas. Adding tables would be nice. Next door at The Breakers hotel we notice huge wrap around porch that had rocking chairs and other seating looking at them sea for guests. They also have a pool! Tips for eating around the area… Downtown Spring Lake walking distance and great dining selections. Honey Berry was our “go to” breakfast place - everything was tasty but my favorite was Heavenly Bliss eggs. (Marigold was further away from downtown but good for breakfast and not as crowded.) SL Seafood was great, as was the SL pizza and Belle’s ice cream (gelati was the best). Dunes Donut and Bagels delish. The Scone Pony amazing but get there early; if there is a long line, it’s worth the wait. The chorizo and cheese ball breads at Nick’s & Son bakery good to take to beach.

The room was too tiny. No room to sit other than a small chair. But a beautiful place to stay with amazing views of the ocean! Staff lovely.

Clean and accessibility is second to none- close to the beach, restaurants and shopping.

A beautiful location across from the beach. Staff was lovely. All beach amenities provided ( towels, umbrellas and chairs). Quiet and peaceful. I strongly recommend for adults.

Always have a great time at the Grand Victorian!

We had a lovely stay, restaurant was delicious and we enjoyed very much. Only negative comment was there should be parking for all staying at the property, not just the elite customers.

Beautiful, charming hotel across the street from a lovely boardwalk and breathtaking beach. Always fun to visit the lovely shops and nice restaurants.Very convenient from train station and all walkable.

Lovely clean historic accommodations. Not for those who can't climb stairs. Beautiful beach views, lovely beach neighborhood.
