Okay stay
A bed for the night is all we needed. It was a nice surprise to be put in a room with a sea view. Staff were welcoming and helpful. The room did smell musty, had loads of cobwebs on the ceiling, but had everything needed for an overnight stay.

Two nights in the Grand.
The Grand is a very old hotel. Even with the very best efforts of the staff. The hotel room (444) was tired and a little cramped. That said, the bathroom was clean and the bed was fresh and comfortable. I realise cleaning the windows would be a H&S nightmare, but they really need a clean. Finally, well done to the staff who have a very difficult task, they were always polite and helpful.

We often stay at The Grand. It is nothing fancy, but it is clean and welcoming. The bed was a little uncomfortable this time but the bedding and towels were pristine white. The room was quite small but no complaints. When you're paying less than £65 a night for a double room in the school summer holidays, what have you got to complain about?
