Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities
The room had not been checked properly dirty towel, no soap, cobweb and spider, 2 sockets did not work, towel rail did not work. Breakfast was average we ordered poached eggs and they took over 20 minutes, no fresh fruit, no cappuccino or variety of coffees, no choice of yogurts, no way of heating the croissants. The restaurant was not sign posted from the main lobby, signage upstairs was confusing pointing in different directions or even numbers that did not exist on our floor. We did not try out the bar as we could not get into it, we were not told when making the booking there was a goth weekend at the hotel. Also not there is scaffolding over the hotel so the sea view is hampered. However when checking out they did give us a partial refund for the issues in our room which we appreciated

After a slight mistake understanding the hotel gave us a complimentary upgrade to a deluxe room. The room was beautiful clean modern decorated and warm. My only point out would be for a deluxe room probably would have a seaview. We overlooked the back of properties and the car park. If I had paid for this type of room I probably would have made a complaint

Booked for a last minute get away.

We had a fantastic time at the Grand. The hotel is currently undergoing some needed renovation work, but overall its not an issue. It would have been nice if we could adjust the heating in our room, rather than rely on the windows being open, but it was manageable. I'm sure once all rooms are complete it will be amazing. The fat badger bar had a great vibe and fantastic staff. The staff on check in were really helpful too. Limited parking spots, but for a fantastic location with views across the sea and to the Abbey it's certainly worth it.
