Grand Hotel Scarborough

8/10 Good

"Staff welcoming. The room was clean. Paid for a sea view doubled/twin room. The windows were small and high which meant I couldn’t see out whilst sitting down. Jacuzzi buttons in bath didn’t work, but plenty of hot water for a relaxing bath … even without the jets! Bed comfortable and I was able to control the radiator heat."
