Access to a comfortable and reliable home away from home can make or break any travel experience—no matter if the journey’s near or far. That’s why at GrandStay Hotels, there’s nothing more important than providing a relaxing, reliable, and restful respite for groups of all sizes.

With more than 30 hotels in five Midwest states and Oregon, GrandStay has become a hotelier of choice for groups looking for upscale accommodations and first-class customer service while on the road. From the Oregon coastline to nature-adjacent and shoreline communities in the Midwest, here are some of the most popular GrandStay hotels across the country.

1. Sisters, Oregon

At GrandStay Sisters, located in Sisters, Oregon, groups can take in the beauty of central Oregon and panoramic views of the Pacific Crest Trail.

Groups find comfort in feeling “at home” when staying at any of the unique GrandStay properties across the country.
