The Grand Motel

Unfortunately the bed mattress was so bad I didn't sleep well and my wife experience the same. It was broken for sure. Or very old. The rest was good.

It was very disappointing the lock up garage had old furniture and old cars in it. The room was old and tied and could do with a good revamp and the Bedding and Towels where stained and not clean. A key box at the car park would be so much easier than having to drop it of at reception.

The Grand Hotel was like a once grand dame that has let herself go. When you catch the lift to the first floor you're immediately assaulted by really strong fake scent defuser, that for sure must be masking some terrible odour. The room was nice enough, good beds and plenty of towels. Small kitchenette was basics covered. We picked this place because of the indoor pool and gym, and this is where the Grand has really dropped the ball. The pool is covered and when you lift the cover it's filled with musty smelling and weird coloured water. The reception assured us he will "switch it on" for us if we cared to use it. No thank you. Unless you would like to get some weird skin infection. The GYM. If you could call a dungeon like room that; complete with black mould on the walls and rust infected flimsy ancient machines strewn about the place. So much rust. It could all be forgiven, if it wasn't for the brazen sign at front advertising, rooms with spa, indoor pool, gym and sauna. What sauna? Luckily, the man at reception encouraged us to use the local aquatic centre across to road that proved to be very adequate. He knows what's up 😉 The Grand is adequate. But so is any other much cheaper highway motel.
