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!

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.
