Cons:

A very shabby, uncared for and dirty place. The bar had run out of beer throughout our stay. The room was miles from reception and was dirty, mouldy and dismal.

the faulty towers thats what it is
Pros:

to be honest looks can be deciving, from the out side and the reception very nice, but i wish i never paid 140 pound for 1 night, if i didnt laugh id of cried, the smell was disgusting, the carpets was really bad and the staff didnt care at all, we ate in the dining room which was full of mould, or beds was rock solid and smelt, i was fuming with the place i can go on, we was on the third floor and the lifts wasnt working and the place was falling to bits, the place does have potential but i dont think they care, its not hard to get a carpet cleaner out, the bar staff was lovely but the food and everything was shocking, and we spoke to a few guest and they was livid with the place if i could give it a zero i would, and some of the staff not all need to treat people with respect coz i was shocked how they spoke to some guest

Cons:

the place it was falling apart eating in a place full of mould and sick on the carpets, id keep going but it will only get worse, we had a small balcony and im not gonna lie if u got a jet wash to that it would crumbe, there is no excuse for that, i took more pic but will only let me upload 20, charging people that amount of money for it to look like that is wrong, wake up and fix it, and the smell well that wasnt nice, and the last 2 picture was where we was eating.

Sadly not so Grand Cumbria Hotel.
Pros:

Location was superb and access to the promenade for a short walk into Grange. Settings were also nice and staff friendly.

Cons:

It needs some serious TLC. Obvious leaks and in need of redecorating. Breakfast- Luke warm coffee, bacon and black pudding hard and cold and quests for dinner so long we drove into town for food.

Comfortable. The bedroom was pristine
Pros:

A Grand Building. Very clean. Lovely Grounds.

Cons:

I understood the period /age of the property, however, the interior is very dated. To the right of reception there (totally on view) is an area which only houses an old leather sofa. This area needs a refurbishment/modernised to make interesting. All needs to entice a younger generation!

Nice stay in a quick stopover
Pros:

Was offered the accessible room on check in once I explained I had M.E. - the lift was broken and the only single rooms left were on the 1st or 2nd floor which I would've made myself ill getting to
Bathroom was very stylish and well designed for accessibility, eg had a shower chair I could move around to sit at the sink to brush my teeth etc.
Floor was tilted and there's a shower screen so you don't flood the bathroom while still having a roll in shower
Comfy beds
2 pillows on the bed
Reception told me at check in just to call if I needed another pillow which was nice

Cons:

Accessible room a little hard to find, room number not labelled the same as the other rooms
Limited disabled parking, only saw 2 spaces
Shower had a few grimy spots on grouting and main shower head
Couldn't see a way to lock the door of the accessible room! I can see this might be good in an emergency situation but didn't feel safe that anyone could just walk in while I was asleep. If I hadn't have been so exhausted I would've said something but I couldn't face walking again.
Nowhere to charge phone next to bed - can be a plus for some but felt I needed my phone with me for safety - though there is a landline phone on the bedside table.

Disappointing

Breakfast was plentiful but poor quality, room was very tatty, ripped wallpaper holes in curtains, stains on walls and bathroom very dirty, dinner wasn't very appetising

The food and dirt
