Don't do it

Where to start with the ironically named 'Grand'.....
Front door was locked when we arrived. After the 3rd try at ringing the number displayed on the front door, a man answered my call and said 'just a minute' then hung up on me. Eventually a man came and opened the front door. He didn't speak to us during the check in process, then proceeded to take us to a room with 1 double bed, even though I had paid the extra for 2 separate beds for myself and my adolescent son.
The room was dirty, the wallpaper had large tears in it, and the 'furniture' on the balcony was rusted and broken.
I was expecting budget accommodation but this place is awful.

This is a lovely old hotel and the decor reflects that - full of charm and character. However, the age of the hotel means that the ensuites are a later addition and so are very small and basic. The room was clean and comfortable but the hall could have done with some vacuuming and the sliding door to the ensuite had come off its runners.

Certainly didn’t look anything like the photos. The rooms were shabby and unclean…. Mold on shower curtains, dirty shower screens. Place generally looking very tired. Restaurant/bar a joke, many draft beer tap heads available but no tap beer, nor any food available. The kicker was after checking in that we learnt the hotel was a half way house and had unsavory people coming and going all night with limited security. Didn’t receive a warm welcome from proprietors. Thankful my children were not with us. Hotels,com needs to remove this from their inventory.

Rip off .

I booked a room in October thru booking .com . I paid in full for the room a few days ago . I get a phone call today to say I’ve been cancelled . I am furious . New management evidently and No rooms available . This is very poor and I will be making sure a lot if people know about this . NOT GOOD ENOUGH .

Tired and tatty

There was a long wait at reception at check-in for the receptionist to arrive at reception. The hotel is old, characterful, but a bit tatty. The room was cold, and only half the power points were working. I had to move the heater to plug it in at the other side of the room and even then it kept turning off and needing to be restarted. The bathroom had no ventilation. The bed was comfortable and the bedding crisp. Half of the lights in the room didn’t work. The fire alarm went off at 11:30 and there was an evacuation of the hotel. The rooms are old and tired. I might need to stay here again but wouldn’t naturally choose to do so if there are better alternatives. Chstacterful, but tired and not well cared for. Not recommended.
