We stayed at the Grandview Bed and Breakfast for 1 night. If we'd made a reservation for more than 1 night, we would've asked for our money back and found other accommodations.

From the moment we arrived, we felt uncomfortable with the staff. From previous reviews, we understood that they were not very keen on accommodating unmarried couples, so we did our best to play along. Of course we have different last names, so at breakfast we were asked how we each liked our rooms. Awkward, to say the least. Our interaction with the inn keeper at check-in was odd - she let us know several times that alcohol was not allowed, and pointed this out on the guest form as well. It was pretty obvious that she'd lied about the availability of a less expensive room when we got up the next morning and found the doors still open and no other guests at breakfast. There were 2 other couples at the inn, but they advertise 14 bedrooms... We certainly expected better for what we paid.

When we went down for breakfast, sad looking fruit bowls awaited us, along with some kind of orange beverage. We picked at the fruit, and politely declined the lox bagels - big mistake! The staff took it personally and badgered us until we agreed to eat some muffins. I actually asked for the bagel with just butter, but they did not oblige. Apparently, it was lox and cream cheese or nothing. We made up an excuse and left quickly.

The home was probably beautiful at some point - it's too bad that it hasn't been better taken care of. There was pealing wallpaper and paint, stained ceiling tiles, faded curtains - everything about the house seemed tired and worn. While the view was lovely, it did little to make up for the incredibly uncomfortable bed (ancient sagging mattress does not a good nights sleep make), and hard-as-rock pillows.

This wasn't our first B&B experience, and we're glad of that. If this had been our first impression, we may never have stayed in a B&B again.

Next time we're stuck in Astoria for the night and the only room available is at the Grandview, we'll sleep in the car. You should, too.

I found the owner and staff very pleasant and accommodating. I'd stay at Grandview B&B again. For the price and location, I thought it was a great deal. Carole's home made muffins were fabulous! Thanks, Charlene, Carole and April!

Hard to review this place, it's as average as they come! Nothing negative really, but nothing outstanding either. Will I stay there again? I'll shop around for something else first, but if everything else is full then I wouldn't have a problem supporting these guys.

My mother and I ended our girls get away vacation by staying at the Grandview. It was the second B and B we had stayed at for the trip and we were very excited to have new place to enjoy. The location is perfect and the view from our 'Canopy' room was amazing. However, we found Charleen the owner very curt and I had a difficult time communicating due to her personality. Her humor was a little too dry and a times very rude. She treated us very much like children with many rules to follow as far as what types of things we could plug into the outlets and how to use the lock on the door. I guess we thought we would be staying at a place that treated us like adults and had a more hospitable feeling, like the places we had stayed at on previous trips. There is no place to relax besides your room and the rooms can be very stuffy during the summer. I also thought that it would be beneficial to have a small mini fridge for guests to keep food. My mother and I both have food allergies and often travel with a few small items just in case. When I asked to place two small items in the freezer, I had to practically argue my case to the owner. The breakfast was good, but nothing special, especially for the price of the room. It is truly a shame that the house is not better maintained, that the owner is not a more pleasant host and that the guest is not meant to feel at home. If it were not for these fundamental elements the bed and breakfast would be a great place to stay.
