Malden Vacation Rentals

"Pool was freezing and hot tub was luke warm. Elevator smelled of mildew and was past its operation license and safety certificate date.. by over a month. Overall the room was clean and breakfast was okay. "

"I recently stayed at Grand Bear Resort at Starved Rock and unfortunately had a very disappointing experience. Check-in was extremely frustrating. Our check-in time was 4:00 PM, and we arrived around 3:35 PM to a very long line. After finally reaching the desk, we were told our room wasn’t ready and to come back later. I returned at 4:20 PM again waited in a long line only to be told the room was still not ready and to come back in another 20 minutes. We didn’t receive a room until around 5:10 PM. The first room we were given (Room 319) was completely uncleaned and a mess. We had to go back downstairs yet again to get another room. The second room was clean, but very outdated, and we even found a bug on the sink. The water park was another major disappointment. The slide and wave pool were not working, and the water was extremely cold so cold that my 7-year-old’s lips turned blue after just 20 minutes in the lazy river. There were not enough tubes available, so we had to wait a long time and take turns using one. On top of that, the water had a strange smell. To make matters worse, when you check in, kids are given a free ice cream coupon but we weren’t able to use it because checkout is at 11:00 AM and the ice cream shop doesn’t open until 12:30 PM. Overall, I’m very disappointed with our stay. The only good thing is that we only booked one night. I will not be returning."

"Fitness machines worked, breakfast was very good. Pool is clean and good for small kids Place is clean and taken care of. "

"Clean, good beds, quiet. Limited breakfast. "

"Everything was good except for the cockroaches crawling every time we turned on lights. Had to empty "

"Room was fine. Breakfast was horrible."

"Breakfast was stale and lacked variety, we passed and went to McDonald's."

"This space was so perfect for our family of four. The teenagers and adults each had plenty of space for individual activities and as a group we had plenty of space for board games, watching a show, having dinner together, cooking, or anything else that came to mind! Location was perfect for access to Starved Rock State Park and other nearby hiking areas. We appreciated having two full bathrooms, laundry access, and also all the dishes, coffee maker, toaster and amenities we could wish for to make some meals ourselves. We didn’t discover the game cupboard til our last day there but brought our own with us anyway. We had a great time in this space and I already posted a link to it for my Facebook friends in case they also want to come to this area! I also want to mention that the communication with our host was top notch and he was very responsive! Thank you for an amazing stay!"

"The business services were very adequate for my zoom meeting."
