The Grand

The location was central, the car park was free, the room was spotless and it looked newly refurbished. Breakfast was great and the staff were all pleasant.
We had a buffet on the previous evening which was outstanding and they even catered for vegans. Well worth the money. I would recommend this hotel to my friends.

Went there just for the bar and live music. Why do they have to play it so loud, your eardrums bleed? The room it's in is long and thin too, with toilets at the back, next to the band, so awkward getting there if busy. Has outdoor smoking if needed too. Good place to let your eardrums reset! Recent refurbishment nice, and great if you can lip read or know BSL, but no need to be earsplitting!

Booked 2 rooms. Hotel was pleasant enough but going through a refurbishment., so rooms were fresh, clean and bright. Breakfast was good with usual scrambled eggs, bacon n sausage. Downside was that there was no hot water for an evening shower before we headed out and still not working in the morning. Alerted the receptionist who said she would let the maintenance man know, but still not fixed.Came back in the evening round about 10.30pm looking forward to a night cap when the bar was closed. Asked why it was closed to which the receptionist, security and other member of staff (who were eating takeout behind the reception) said there was no one in so they closed up.

Side entrance not very nice but it's still being refurbished should have done that first .
But inside is completely different all new and had a lovely refurbishment
I don't know if they have started on the rooms but our one wasn't as carpet on the bathroom and up the bath but the room was very clean and nice beds with nice crisp white sheets and a fan too in this weather which was nice .
Not bad bar prices and all the staff were very friendly.
Close to the train station and bus station too.
Near to the shops and weltherspoons too .
Was a bit of noise early in the morning on a Saturday night but not too bad .
Car park at the rear get fairly early to get a space not very big maybe 20 cars they say they have a overflow carpark but didn't like the look of it .looks like two cctv cameras over looking main car park .
Anyway would stay again oh and good entertainment at night .

room 116 everything is very bad! mold is everywhere. the window cannot be opened, all the hoods of the hotel and the kitchen blow on the window with a terrible loud sound. there is no repair for 100 years. the carpet in the toilet is rotten from old age and mold.

Always had a nice pint here. Staff always friendly. However, the only reason I'm not giving a 5* review is on a few occasions when visiting I've had to wait a while to be served in the bar. This is due to no staff being available to serve.

The receptionist is not very pleasant, we live in a hotel, and left our children with our friends, but the receptionist considered that they were not screened, and decided to call the social service, complain about the hotel residents. I think this is unethical and unprofessional. music is also played from Thursday to Saturday night until 2.00 o'clock. it is not possible to sleep very loudly.

Popped into the bar with a friend - modern, clean & friendly staff - nice cold pint of icebreaker (& very reasonably priced 🙂)
