Stunning building, lovely views
Our room was very good, we booked a sea view and it had a double aspect, so we had a view across south bay and a view towards the Spa. It was out of season so we were prepared for reduced access to amenities, but we were unable to get dinner in the hotel which was a bit disappointing. This happens regularly in England, you are expected to have Sunday lunch and no evening meal, time for our hospitality trade to make some changes. The restaurant in the Grand closed very early and was primarily for those who had booked a dinner package, hopefully this is better in high season.

We both like the history of the Hotel. How clean and well the maintenance of the Hotel is doing so well. The maintenance staff were really happy and friendly. Our room was a twin with a beautiful view of the sea.

We arrived and checked in quickly which was good and had a pleasant enough chap deal with us. We were on the first floor right next to the lifts so we already knew it would probably end up being noisy. We walked in we were greeted by a strong pleasant lemon smell. The room was bigger than I was expecting and the windows were huge and let in so much light which was nice. After a quick look round we did notice brown stains up the wall like someone had thrown tea or coffee up them and we found paperwork from a previous guest on top of the wardrobe which was 3 months old!! Bathroom was lovely although I think baths are outdated for hotels but no complaints there. Only negatives for us in the room were the rock hard mattresses and pillow. Later on we went down to reception and asked for a second pillow as I am disabled and need a second for support. The receptionist was quite rude and refused to give me one which I found really bad; this is the first hotel where I have been refused a second pillow to help me! Night one we slept fine but on our second day someone was moved into the room above us. The person in there spent all night walking round the room which made the floor boards creek and kept us awake all night. I know its an old building but the floor boards need looking at. We also had a nail sticking up through the carpet near the bathroom so had to be careful of that at all times. Overall was enjoyable but does need some love and attention on it.

Room was fab, although it was floor floors down and no working lift. Did not appreciate fire alarm going off at 5.30am but cant be helped. Windows in room considering they were ground level on seafront have not been cleaned for years could do with bring cleaned.Checking in a nightmare very slow and upto an hour wait. Needs to be staggered maybe checkin times vary and do one floor at a time.

Door lock damaged. Bathroom door hanging off. Dust mites in the bad. Rude staff. Blocked sink. Paid for a room with a window but couldn’t see out of it for the dirt and grime. Never again. Stay away from this hotel. It’s a shame because it’s a beautiful building.

Booked a twin sea view room, but on arrival told it was only a standard room as the choice on hotels.com is incorrect, and are only standard rooms. Told the room with sea views was two floors down and the lift was broken. I said that’s was no good as my mum suffered from severe copd. Given a disabled room, only given one pillow each. When I asked for another pillow informed no spare ones available in hotel given towels to use.no proper sink, no hot water. Spoke with agent for website who said as I paid with the hotel direct they could not offer me compensation, they contacted the hotel who agreed to change our room. Offered downstairs yet again declined as before. Offered executive room but at a charge to me declined. The whole experience from both sides hotel & website was disappointing, not very supportive. It was meant to be a relaxing break for my mum, the whole room experience was a total let down. I felt I got no support from both sides. One very disappointed customer.

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.
