I am disappointed that the kitchen closes down during Christmas especially for breakfast. I had took cab to recommended breakfast restaurant but found it closed for Christmas as well. I did not find it located to many walkable amenities. That said because it is near family I would always choose this hotel ##### Anna Louise Stayed 4 nights in Dec 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### stewart 12 Sept 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Friendly place . ##### stewart Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Bill 11 Oct 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort We spent three nights at The Grand with our wonderful cat and the staff at The Grand provided us with a beautiful deluxe suite. ##### Bill Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### martin 12 Dec 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities Disliked: Amenities The room was clean I asked for quite room and thats what i got ##### martin Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jeannine 27 Aug 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Nice old hotel.
