My daughter has severe food allergies so we can't eat out very easily. We stayed at the Grand CA last year. I called them, expecting them to be very accomodating because it was a medical issue, but they were not. They said there was a microwave that we could use in a restaurant downstairs but they would not give one to us to use in our room unless we upgraded our room. Since we drove from Northern CA, I asked if we could bring one and they said yes. We ended up picking up an inexpensive, small mircowave (around $45), and it came in VERY handy!!
