We had a night at the Grand on Saturday as Family were staying there for a week on a coach trip. We had read some awful reviews before going so expectations were very low. On check-in we were told we didnt have a booking. We had but the receptionist we spoke to initially couldnt find it for some reason-so not... More

We stayed at the Grand on Saturday night as part of a very reasonably priced coach tour. The foyer and stair case are quite special .But ,after that the place plummets. Our room was very small ,reasonably clean with a sea view.Not too bad .But the shower was tepid and the curtains were very thin , and the room was... More

Be very careful when booking a room in this hotel or you may find yourselves in a scruffy windowless basement as we did. The bed was a cheap divan with limp bedding, the wardrobe and television were ancient and the kettle only worked if you stood and held the switch down. The room was in dire need of redecoration and... More

Well... I really don't know where to start. A party of 8 of us went to stay for my mums 60th birthday... What a nightmare. We went Sunday afternoon to stay Sunday night Bed, Breakfast and Evening meal. When you arrive the grand hall and staircase is lovely - so bearing this in mind I thought it was going to... More

Bedding was dirty, had blood stains on it and hair in bed from previous guest, not good. We cleaned the room with the sanitiser thats dotted around the hotel, we were fearful of becoming ill because of the... More

Booked through a Travel Company to this Hotel, requesting a lower floor as my mother in a wheelchair, and my father has mobility problems, also asked that I had a room near to them. On arrival was told on 6th floor - having to negotiate 2 lifts. Said that this was not possible. After discussion and being told the hotel... More

On the outside, the Grand is very imposing. It's in a great location and the views from the dining room are fantastic. We were checked in quite quickly, though the management sneak an extra 50p charge if you book with a debit card and £2 by credit card, so pay online first if you can. I couldn't really say anything... More
