Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
Friendly staff, room was a good size and clean. The terrace needed a good clean and tidy up as there were not enough bins, cigarette butts were every.
i know we get what we pay for ,but bathroom shoddy and dirty the bed is absolutely pathetic solid lumpy and roll out as its tilting out may i suggest one of your bosses actually takes time to look around and see what your offering this is second time been to the grand, but grand its not unless its down for roughs and up for the posh. so sorry will never come back again

Disliked: Room comfort
Suprised by how it looked inside , not run down like thought . Room's were nice enough but sea view rooms are not that great due to the filthiness off the windows outside due to seagulls and becsuse of single pane windows kept us awake all night . The entertainment room is a bit outdated and the lift and stairs also . If it wasnt for the seagulls i think it would of been a pleasant stay and would there again due to the location
The building is very grand,the Empress bar and sun terrace are lovely. The room was clean and a lovely see view but for the last day our TV wouldn't work and I was told by the Duty manager that it couldn't be repaired or replaced which I was really not happy about!!

Absolutely terrible stay will never stay again we came to stay for my 40th birthday this was our first stay and will be our last we checked in quite late as we arrived late we entered our room and it was so hot we thought the heating had been on it was unbearably hot we had one window which opened about 4 cm so didn’t make any difference whatsoever I went down to reception to report the heat problem to be told that they would provide another fan which never got brought to us we used the one fan provided which made absolutely no difference as it was just circulating hot air me and my partner wanted to leave but was unable to afford another hotel we checked out at 6am after having maximum an hours sleep all night the receptionist didn’t even ask how our stay was or thank us she was particularly rude me and my partner spend my 40th birthday night too and tailing as it was so hot in the room we couldn’t even sleep next to each other it completely ruined my birthday we had seen the hotel on tv and presumed it would be a good hotel to say we were disappointed was an understatement would not recommend and certainly would never ever stay there again it was terrible
Booked a twin sea view room for 1 night. The room was clean spacious had kettle tea and coffee making facilities. Iron, ironing board, tv, fan. I would return and the staff are very attentive and friendly
Utterly disgusting. Damp and mould in the room. Litter in the corridors, lifts were dirty. Also a domestic kicking off and no one available to deal with it and told there's no security.
Room was clean but when i ask for tea bags etc they only gave 2 teabags 2 coffees 2 milk so had to keep wasting time going back quewing sometimes to get more also no spare pillows in wardrobe again
The breakfast was terrible. Watered down juice. Hard eggs,hard sausages. Luke warm everything else . Manager at breakfast was not friendly, acted like we were a nuisance.
Dirty window sills with dead flies in restaurant
Absolutely shocking. Booked a standard double no window upgraded when we were there to a ‘CIty room’ as that’s all that was offered to us nothing else so I paid £20 extra when arriving. I informed the hotel on email a day before arriving I had 2 kids with us and explained 1 is sharing the bed with us and 1 in a travel cot which we provided. When arriving we checked into our room which was no bigger than a tiny box room so we had went and spoke to reception which we were told we ‘only’ upgraded to a city double. I had explained we were only offered that and nothing else and had already told the receptionist. They then give us another room when I arrived into the room it was 2 twin beds when I had already explained 2 previous times that my daughter was stopping in a bed with us. They then proceeded to argue even though we had proof of us informing them via email we got put into another room and by that point I was really sick of going downstairs so just slept in it. But was like sleeping on a brick was the worst experience I’ve ever had in a hotel.
Don’t waste your money.
Room next to function room so music was going on till midnight and couldn't get to sleep. Stains all over the walls. Rude staff. Shouting and arguing till gone 4am. Will never stay at this hotel again and I will never recommend either.
