Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
There were no heating when we arrived, the temperature was 0 outside, i informed a staff who said it is not going to work until 8 am , but it didn’t start even at 8 am. I asked another staff in the morning to what happened and she politely said that it a mistake and it should have worked all night and proposed to bring up a portable heater when we were about to leave the hotel. I didn’t expect that!

Severe weather conditions is no excuse
We woke on the morning of our booking to hear a severe weather warning being broadcast on national television. Storm Bert was due to hit Yorkshire that night, with the Vale of York being highlighted for excessive snow. When I tried to cancel or rearrange my one night booking I was told that I had past the free cancellation period. I pointed out that we would be travelling against official advice and that I believed that the exceptional weather conditions were totally out of our control. But no one would budge and I was told I would lose 100% of my booking fee. I believe this is totally wrong and Hotel.com should have done more to get a refund from this hotel. I did phone the hotel on the morning of my booking to explain the situation and the man I was speaking to, Joe, was sympathetic and said he would speak to the hotels management to ask them to waive the charge or allow me to book for another date. Joe said he would get back to me but it’s now 24 hours since then and I’ve still heard nothing from him. This is very poor and because of these exceptional circumstances I should not be charged or at least been offered the opportunity to book for another date.

Good location, good hotel
Good location both for railway station and event venue (luckily climbing the hills should be good for my waistline! Not a criticism, as the hills are unavoidable.). Aside from that, hotel is fine, decent and comfortable - have stayed here before, no doubt will again.

It was a one night stay which overall was good, the only fault really was when we booked in the bed had not been made after telling reception we were assured it would be when we got back from the theatre, when we returned it still was not made after telling reception again we were moved to another room, which was ok.

Exactly what it should be...grand value!
Wanted to stay somewhere with some history and character in Scarborough, and the Grand has to be your first choice. It's still got a wow factor with the foyer and very impressive public bar, plus the ballroom, the theatre... You will want to go and explore. The rooms might need a little TLC, but they are very clean, totally functional and spacious. Spend the extra and get a sea view. Breakfast is, in hotel terms, good value. My only comment in the negative, and really this is just a personal preference is that it's possibly too hot everywhere?! How they manage to keep such a massive old hotel at such a high temperature is beyond me, as no radiator I touched was anything other than just tepid. To be fair, they know their clientele so maybe the coach parties are glad of the warmth! Give it a go and remember you're getting service based on cost and you won't be disappointed!
