Cons:

Very uncomfortable bed
A lot of mess, dirty plate left outside my room when we just arrived (after 8pm in the evening)
Towels, old and freyed, need replacing
The place generally looks run down and not well maintained.
TV system from the early 2000s

All about the location. Decent rooms. Just watch the car park!
Pros:

Friendly staff. Perfect location. Good sized rooms.

Cons:

Car park terrible. Doesn’t feel safe and so narrow. Miracle I don’t scuff my car. Water was only warm not hot. Breakfast average.

Avoid at all costs.
Pros:

This hotel should be avoided at all costs. We booked it as it is 5 minutes walk to The Beacon where we had tickets for a gig. We imagined The "Grand" would be just fine. Not cheap and we booked months ahead only to be shown a room on the 4th floor where, quite frankly, you wouldn't put a dog. Marks on the walls, bed pressed up against the wall and an "en suite" with a stained bath and basin and a shower curtain over the bath that was half hanging off the rail. We complained to reception who eventually agreed us to a room that was marginally better on the 3rd floor. Reception area is ratty too. Threadbare and split fabric on the settees. Never again.

Tired and scruffy stained carpets
Pros:

I have stayed here a few times over time but this time I have been so disappointed!! The hotel is scruffy really tired ! Only one lift working in a busy hotel like this and having read other reviews the lift situation has been going on for over a month! Huge yellow stain on carpet in room !
Just really needs a good clean and spruce up! Windows rattle like drums ! We didn't have breakfast thankfully looking at the reviews;

Dirty room, unhelpful staff, room not great, overpriced. AVOID.
Pros:

Location

Cons:

Staffs attitude towards our issues was very blasé, room wasn’t clean, and lots of ants inside, staff promised to rectify while we were out but didn’t do anything, amongst other issues with the room, I feel like I overpaid heavily for the room despite booking a good while in advance.
