Saipan Grand Hotel is just fit for the budget. Accessible to the beach going to Managaha Island.

The hotel is old and the service is terrible to say the least. I was out there for the Saipan Xterra in March 2008 and the rooms were run down and the website photos were deceiving. By all accounts a motel would have been better than staying at the Saipan (not so) Grand. I only ended up staying for a night because the conditions were so bad; I transfered over to Pacific Islands Club. The morning I checked out a coconut had fallen on my rental car and shattered the back window. The car rental went from $120 to $1400. I contacted hotel management on the matter and after 5 months of excuses and emails I received a letter saying he wasn't at fault and the hotel isn't responsible for maintaining the grounds. In short I recommend the Pacific Islands Club. The service was great, the room was clean and cozy.

We got back from there just few days ago. The hotel is not so bad, very simple. The beach was nice, the stuff is friendly. They clean rooms every day and very good. I can't say that it's a great place but have to remember that it's not a 5-stars hotel!. Breakfast was the same every day: eggs, omlett, fruits, juice.. Actually it was also not so bad. The location is a bit far from center but they have a free taxi till the DFS what locates there, so you can always go there by taxi or bus(which is also for free).

Stayed at the Saipan Grand Hotel for a night last September 28,2006. We were not booked there but an unfortunate event took place. We were supposed to fly back to the Philippines after our NCLEX on sept 27th. There was a typhoon in the Philippines so our flight was cancelled. Having done our shopping the day before,we barely have spare dollar in our pockets. We were in limbo........ everybody was like, "where the hell am i gonna stay".Jeremy, the son of the consul, contacted Mr. JERRY TAN, i think is the owner of the hotel. He was told of our predicament and without much ado, took us in his hotel, all 30 of us examinees.....and its for FREE.

The hotel is a good 10 minute ride from where we stayed for 3 days. And we cannot believe our luck when we got a glimpse of the Saipan Grand, we didn't imagine it to be that grand literally. We were like transported from the slums to the palace. And its all for free! You see, Mr Tan even personally welcomed us and treated us to a Japanese dinner at the hotel. Everything is free.......when we were ushered in our rooms,MY GOD...we were given suite rooms.How kind-hearted this Mr. JERRY TAN is. How i wish, we could go back to saipan to thank him once more. I am proud to promote SAIPAN GRAND HOTEL to everybody,anybody planning to visit saipan,either for leisure,business or for examinations.
The staff are very welcoming and warm, the hotel is very grand and the rooms are so homey. And lastly, the hotel is not profit-oriented. I don't tink any other hotel would take the risk of taking 30 strangers for free and given suite rooms at that.

Mr. Jerry Tan, thank you so much.......may your hotel be more prosperous and may your tribe increase. Continue to do good, for GOD will surely reward your deeds.

God Bless you always.
