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

10/10 Exceptional

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.
Carolyn, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

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.
Victoria, 1-night trip
