The accommodation needs major updates. Walls peeling away. No fly screens on windows so couldn’t open them. Remote for light and fan didn’t work properly. Wouldn’t recommend The Grand to anyone.

For the special discounted price we got it was ok. I wouldn't want to have paid more than what we did. It definitely didn't live up to the photos on the website. Bathroom facilities were very tired and there were small cockroaches in the shower. Also being a Monday night it was fine I would be concerned about Friday or Saturday night. We were only there 1 night so we survived. Staff were very lovely.
