Jacinta was amazing, and the strong ported who carried our luggage upstairs. If you want a lager couple of rooms, and an original large vintage bathroom that takes you back in time with a genuine old bathtub then The grand is for you, three of us stayed to see Cindy Lauper in concert. It exceeded my expectations, warm, friendly and great atmosphere, you cant ask for much more, and the price was so great, I will return again and tell everyone, Absolutely could not fault it.

Not bad for one night’s stay, not for longer. The room we were in was very average but it was cheap so I guess you get what you pay for.

The accommodation needs major updates. Walls peeling away. No fly screens on windows so couldn’t open them. Remote for light and fan didn’t work properly. Wouldn’t recommend The Grand to anyone.

For the special discounted price we got it was ok. I wouldn't want to have paid more than what we did. It definitely didn't live up to the photos on the website. Bathroom facilities were very tired and there were small cockroaches in the shower. Also being a Monday night it was fine I would be concerned about Friday or Saturday night. We were only there 1 night so we survived. Staff were very lovely.
