Well was nervous booking, but we actually loved our couple of days stay. When booking in got a slight upgrade from two singles sea view to a family seaview(double and a single). The price we payed is what we usually pay at a Travelodge, to have a room with a lovely sea view in a magnificent building was great value. Second night after a lovely meal at an Italian restaurant nearby we returned to the hotel for a few drinks , we then went thru to the ballroom and watched an ABBA tribute act again adding to the amazing value. As you can guess we enjoyed our stay, and we will hopefully return sometime next year.

Small room but with a wonderful sea view. Room is clean and smells good. Very easy check in, staff are polite and helpful. 2 days and we did had a great time. When I saw majority of the negative reviews after I booked I cannot help but be anxious of what to expect when I get there. But no, everything went really well. The surrounding area specially the beach is clean. Sitting on different benches with beautiful seaview angles is really relaxing.

Was hotel of my life.
Rusty shower Toilet wouldnt flush so had to use shower as a toilet. Reported and was refused a room change. Bathroom door wouldnt shut when using toilet/shower. Wrong type of room to our booking. Broken/squeaky floor boards could hear when people walking around. Room not cleaned properly as waste paper(looked like blood) left on the floor. Old fashioned key the size of a ruler...had to take it out all day/night with us

The toilet smelt like raw sewage, we didn't feel safe enough to brush our teeth .TV didn't work, toilet was enclosed in a small gap in the wall that my slim partner could barely sit on let us woman with curvier behinds. We understand it's an old building so the inside wasn't great build wise but for the price it's just not worth it at all, the maintenance of the beautiful exterior just isn't even looked at in the interior. Plus such a huge hotel, no parking, we had to park a 15 minute walk away and carry our luggage. Only good thing we can say is at least it's close to the town centre. Also don't suggest drinking there, dirty glasses, doesn't taste like the pipes are clean, we thought we'd sit on the terrace for the view but we had people screaming around us, kids running into us, people throwing lit fags on the floor, watched one poor little girl step on it barefooted. The reception staff were lovely though, I'm sure they're used to a lot of abuse from guests because of the failings of management which is a shame because they were very helpful and kind - although the woman we spoke to on the phone was quite rude and abrupt and actually hung up on me after I asked where to park as she said hotel has no designated parking- but again she's probably used to plenty of abuse for things she can't control or do anything about

Sad and tired.
So very tired, even the staff looked tired and dishevelled. Room ok, breakfast awful. A once great hotel, (the architecture is amazing) now sad and unloved. Great views of the bay though.

Disliked: Cleanliness
👍 Good: The room was a good size and it seemed clean. 👎 Bad: The bathroom was disgusting and dirty, as well as the plates, mugs and glasses at breakfast. The fruit served at breakfast seemed quite out of date, and the cereals tasted like paper. Also, they were supposed to give us 50% of the NCP local parking, but when we went to pay, the discount wasn't applied and we had to pay the full price.

Enjoyed my stay at the grand, first time visiting however wasn’t too happy that we were put in a room without any windows, Very claustrophobic. We did not bring this to the attention of the staff, but if we ever stayed there again, we would definitely request a room with a window! Animal
