The hotel must have been fantastic in its day, what let it down for me was the room next to ours had a dog in it, that barked throughout the night. Also there was a stench of sawage on the upper floors,this was reported to reception.

The only good bit was the view from the room. Receptions very rude & untrained. Took ages to check in early so wasnt worth paying for. Parking is charged but made a mistake on scratch card for parking so had to pay again. Asked for extra pillow on first day due to back problem but didnt get asked again next day for a very rude receptionist saying 1 only even though was promised the day before. Didn't sleep as couldn't get comfortable. Had a jacuzzi bath didnt work. No shower gel in dispenser. Coffee maker didnt work. Teabags are crap & no coffee in room. Dirty room. Breakfast not worth the money. Should not be called the grand. Should be called the not grand hotel Even locals laughed when i said where we stayed. Staff need a kick up the arse or sacking in reception. 1 bar staff to serve loads of people. Would never stay here again. Should be shutdown.

Very smelly bathroom.

The room was dated but generally clean and the beds were comfy. Nice sea view and good location. The smell from the bathroom however was awful, a really bad drain smell. I complained at reception and was told it was because the hotel was built in the 1800's but our friend's room didn't have the same smell so that is a poor excuse.

Not at the 5 star standard I usually get here but

Stay was good, greated by the same friendly staff as I always have when stay there & they remembered me even though it's been a while, & the hotel is always clean & tidy I enjoy staying there, even though it was busy... However this time my gripe was I checked in at 2030 after a 6 hour train journey & couldn't get any food... Drinks machine was broken so only drink was in glasses from bar which was difficult to get to the room with luggage, & room was in 2nd floor basement which meant no cell service all night & had to rely on their Internet which wasn't the best... Wasn't happy about the couple next door coming in at 1am drunk & banging around but that's not the hotels fault. Room was still comfy & warm though & I really enjoyed the hot tub jacuzzi in the bathroom.

Room smelt of sewerage

A very grand looking hotel with great foyer and sweeping staircase, but ultimately it doesn't matter how clean a hotel room is if it stinks of sewerage from the toilet.
