Unfortunately we didn’t have the best time, here’s the Cole’s notes. Get into the room: There’s dirty mugs on the mantle - they don’t match the set in the room so we assumed it belonged to house keeping. There was stuff on the floor (either they didn’t vac or sweep) Shower didn’t work - it was leaking out the top and malfunctioning. The tub / shower / sink all had hair in them The fire in the bedroom didn’t work so we were told if we wanted it someone would have to come up to manually mess with it. The staff who offered were lovely about this. There was a Christmas party in the restaurant until…midnight. Which is fine, but the listing says the space is soundproof - it’s not at allllll Found bottle caps under furniture And there’s no curtains in anywhere other than the bedroom so it was: loud, not private (gas station has a clear view to the room) and it let a ton of light in The staff were somewhat helpful, but not about our concerns when we left, it did get brushed off. For the price paid, I would be fine with one or two issues, but not this level. We intended for a relaxing weekend away, and we had the opposite.

The hotel was lovely and the staff very nice, however, they weren’t equipped to have people checking in during the Santa Claus parade. No parking, no alternate routes. Had to come back 2 hrs later than scheduled. Once inside I was told there was only 1 room left, although I had prebooked 2 weeks in advance. The room I was shown was tiny and not what I booked. Eventually I was ‘upgraded’ (?) to the room I had originally booked. The room was lovely, clean and spacious. All of the lights (there were a lot) were controlled by remotes. This was rather confusing. The one overhead light by the door was controlled by a switch outside in the hallway. I suggest they upgrade their electrical situation. It was an interesting stay to say the least. Good location and near shops and restaurants.

The property has a historic feel and the staff is amazing. I was there for a wedding and the venue is absolutely stunning and the food was perfect. The staff was friendly and the service was perfect. The room was very comfortable and clean.

The Grand is grand
I stopped on a bike trip for a night and the staff were all friendly and accommodating despite being very busy with an on-going wedding reception! I was happy to be able to bring my bicycle up to my room for the overnight. Loved my stay. The heritage facilities are beautiful and full of great artwork and lounge furniture. The smart TV in the room was an unexpected bonus.

The Grand Hotel is a unique experience from your typical travel hotel. Very elegant. Has been refurbished. Bathroom was very tiny with no place to set your toiletries but serviceable. Some small things need to fixed but overall a grand place to stay. There is no restaurant on site but the Boulton House restaurant was a great place to eat. Food was excellent and enjoyable on the patio with a view of the river.

Would absolutely stay again!
We stayed in the Imperial Suite and it was absolutely beautiful! The hotel is incredibly lovely and historic, furnishings are ornate wooden pieces - plush and comfy heavy old sofas and armchairs… we were thrilled with our room. The dining room was closed much to our sadness as we were looking forward to a meal there. We were directed to an incredible restaurant 3 blocks away in an old mill and weren’t disappointed with either the food or the outdoor seating right on the river and we were pleased to be treated to the sound of the falls as we ate. The owner of the hotel was very friendly and has his personal residence there - we knew upon discovering that fact that we had stumbled onto a gem and we would return in a heartbeat if we’re ever in the area again seeking accommodation. Highly recommend the Imperial Suite!

Beautiful property with lots of potential. Not well maintained and staffed. Dirty areas, coffee and cream out of date, bathroom cleanliness very poor no mirror or lighting for makeup and shaving. Overall cleanliness poor at best. The pub was closed and no restaurant on site. It was closed as well.
