Avoid this hotel
This hotel is an absolute sham. Service is non existent. Genuinely the worst stay I’ve ever had anywhere.

It was just somewhere last minute for us to stay at for the food festival. Luckily we went for lots of cocktails in the eve but although we came back at a descent time, there were drunk parents in the lobby with children still awake running about and shouting. It was almost like a hotel version of what you’d imagine Butlins to be like… such a shame because the views are amazing and the hotel so grand with its sweeping staircase but the lack of hot water and the noise until god knows what time, put a huge damper on it so unfortunately we wouldn’t be returning

Stunning building, lovely views
Our room was very good, we booked a sea view and it had a double aspect, so we had a view across south bay and a view towards the Spa. It was out of season so we were prepared for reduced access to amenities, but we were unable to get dinner in the hotel which was a bit disappointing. This happens regularly in England, you are expected to have Sunday lunch and no evening meal, time for our hospitality trade to make some changes. The restaurant in the Grand closed very early and was primarily for those who had booked a dinner package, hopefully this is better in high season.

We both like the history of the Hotel. How clean and well the maintenance of the Hotel is doing so well. The maintenance staff were really happy and friendly. Our room was a twin with a beautiful view of the sea.
