Whereas I am not a heavy-duty traveler, I've had my share of hotel stays, and this was one of the best I can remember. The Berlin Grande is definitely not your run-of-the mill hotel. It's a step above in almost every way. The location is lovely, the property itself is immaculately maintained, the staff is wonderful, the free breakfast was delicious, and the room was amazing. This was one of the largest rooms I've ever stayed in. I was in a double queen (Room 332) that included a really wonderful kitchenette (fridge, microwave, coffee-maker and a large, marble-top counter with pendant lights above and seating for two.) The bathroom was large and clean and featured an enormous walk-in shower as well as an assortment of lovely Bee Kind toiletries by Glichrist & Soames of London (as I said...this place is a step above!) The beds were very comfortable and offered a variety of pillows to suit the preferences of most sleepers. The sheets were soft and inviting. One of the room's most wonderful features was the balcony! Featuring two chairs, the space was rather small, but cozy for a singleton or a couple. All balconies in the hotel are recessed -- a great feature for privacy as well as shelter from the sun, rain, etc. The breakfast area is large and very well-kept, with friendly staff buzzing about to make sure everything was well-stocked, tables were cleaned, etc. As for the food, it went beyond the ordinary "free breakfast" offerings at most hotels and included a variety of hot items (real scrambled eggs, sausage, bacon, hash browns) as well as some very tasty breakfast rolls iced in one's choice of vanilla or maple. There was also cinnamon bread French toast! If you're looking for lunch or dinner close to the hotel, the Berlin Farmstead restaurant is literally steps from the property. Keep in mind that this is Amish and Mennonite country, though, so nearly everything is closed all day on Sundays. For those interested in exploring the shops, stores, restaurants and scenery of Holmes County, Ohio, the Berlin Grande sits in the heart of it all. There's simply nothing but good to say about this wonderful hotel. I would definitely stay again and would encourage others to stay there as well!
