The Hotel Grand Stark is a quirky old hotel, and not without it's charm. We were surprised by a few issues along the way which made our stay a little more complicated. For their cost, I thought they were worth mentioning. If these particular items that were issues for us our your thing, then this place is for you, but at least you'll know going in.
Valet parking is $55/night and it has operating hours. So, if like us, you get back after 11 PM one night, know that it's closed and you'll be parking your car on the street. There are a fair amount of homeless people, so be OK with that if it's going to be an issue for you. Same thing with the morning, if you're going to need your car before 6 or 7 AM (I forget what they said, but it affected us), you'll need to self street park or you can't get your car until a valet arrives for work.
As far as the room, it's an old building, so the floors aren't level. For our room, it was easy to find the bathroom, just walk downhill. Not much of an issue except the floor was not what I would call finished, so you might pick up a splinter or two on the way. The bathroom door was a pocket door and once it got halfway closed it rolled downhill and shut itself. In one case my wife was in the bathroom, when it closed with force, the latch also closed! When she called me to rescue her, neither of us had the strength to open it, so I had to take the latch assembly apart so she could get out. Imagine if she had no phone/ no one could hear
