This hotel has a fantastic story behind its architecture and is pretty stunning- it’s a shame the history is not promoted more and another hotelier told us about it. Room and bathroom was clean, great shower! However, after cueing for a silly amount of time to check in, the room, although a great sea view, had a double in and not twin beds. Took 6 hours to convert and even then we had to help the member of staff and didn’t have the correct bedding. The staff member stated it would be sorted the next day- it wasn’t. We had to be ‘approved’ for an extra pillow, I think it was down to pure nagging the member of staff got them for us. Slept very well, the beds were comfy. Dispute saying we are a cashless hotel, they would only sell bingo tickets for cash and had to return a drink from the bar as something was up with the coke. On check out we felt staff were rude - no customer relations there at all-It’s such a shame, customer service needs improved greatly. A bin outside to put the cigarette ends in would help the overall look of the hotel and first impressions.

Wow new modern lifts at The Grand!

Was very impressed with the new lifts, a big improvement from the old ones, our room was nice and clean, would have preferred a shower that can be held though as I don’t always wash my hair in the shower. The staff were all very helpful too, very nice stay at The Grand

Very nice

We were actually surprised that we had such a nice stay after reading the reviews. You get what you pay for at the end of the day and we paid £40 for a twin room. It was clean and comfortable we got a lovely sea view and the shower was great. The only problem was the check in we waited about an hour in the queue as they required photo id and a lot of the guests checking in were unaware of it so it held everybody up, thankfully we had ours. We would definitely stay here again.

Not clean but comfortable, long wait to check in

The wait for check in was so long, I believe we were there queuing for 50 minutes so bear that in mind. The room itself wasn't very clean, bits of dirt on the carpet and hairs in the bath. But you get what you pay for and I definitely wouldn't pay more or stay more than one night. The bed was comfy and the room had a nice sea view.

Couldn't fault the hotel, considering the building is 150 years old it was in great condition, very well looked after, everywhere was clean and tidy. It was -1 outside but the whole hotel was lovely and warm, very relaxing. The staff were all nice and very helpful, the food and the dining room were great. The only thing that let it down was the parking outside, not enough spaces.
