Couldn't fault the hotel, considering the building is 150 years old it was in great condition, very well looked after, everywhere was clean and tidy. It was -1 outside but the whole hotel was lovely and warm, very relaxing. The staff were all nice and very helpful, the food and the dining room were great. The only thing that let it down was the parking outside, not enough spaces.

We stayed mew yr 23 and whay a party fab entertainmemt staff were fab room was nice . Fast forward to new year 24. New years party a big disappointment . Not half as good as year before . Room was below average. Flaking paint all over carpet due to what looks like a damp patch. Room was full of cob webs not cleaned to any decent standard. Food breakfast was good but the orange juice was awful and only resembled oj same colour but awful to taste . Staff i found 2 members really quite rude. I love being in scarbough its one of my favourite places . Doubt ill be booking the grand next year. We stayed in room 543

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!
