Staff were great, room was clean, nice buffet breakfast and bar. The only downside is the decor, it is very dated, it was a bit like stepping back in time to the 70’s but location was great so would probably go back if in that area again.

I was pleasantly surprised with the Grand Burstin. Hotel was very clean, staff were really friendly and the amenities were fantastic. The entertainment at the hotel was out of this world and so unexpected. I had a wonderful evening full of entertainment. Bar staff are very friendly. Especially the lady with the long brown hair. Thank you Burstin!
