My recent stay at the Grand Union Hotel was quite a mix. While I enjoyed the beautiful views of the Missouri River and the quaint charm of the hotel, I was disappointed with some aspects like the breakfast setup and the changes in the hotel’s presentation. Overall, it has potential but requires some improvements to match its historic elegance.

I had high hopes for the Grand Union Hotel based on past visits, but I couldn't help feeling a sense of nostalgia for its former elegance. While the rooms remain comfortable and clean, the dining experience and bar offerings have fallen short of what I remember. The staff is still kind and helpful, but overall, the changes have been disappointing. It's unfortunate to see this beautiful hotel lose a bit of its charm over the years.
