Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
The room was clean and spacious, staff were very friendly.
Lovely hotel. Room very spacious and clean. Incredibly comfy bed. My daughter and I really enjoyed the pool. Only thing that let the visit down was the room was very cold and a draft was coming from the window. Carpark was also like an ice rink, could have done with better gritting.
Good size sea view room with separate seating area, clean and breakfast lovely with plenty of variety and caters for vegan/gluten. Pool and facilities clean and water warm. Would definitely revisit
Great sea view, clean hotel. A bit tired but fine for a quick stay. Gym was basic but again fine.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort
Lovely stay, excellent customer service great facilities.
Went to the bar bought 2 coctails 2 for 10 great selection of drinks. Friendly staff.
Room was clean cant fault the cleanliness had been upgraded to a family room spacious 2 double beds. Could do with some TLC but doesnt effect your stay at all.
All staff, ( reception, spa, housemaids) were excellent. Room was clean but found the pillows too hard and uncomfortable and the room was a bit noisy being at the back above the kitchen. Teaspoons would be handy for making cups of tea instead of sticks !
Checked in, no directions to room, receptionist was too busy chatting to a collegue. Room was too hot, fan supplied in room was dirty and noisy. Bed was uncomfortable, pillows were cheap and uncomfortable. Location was very good. Room was tired, no tea/coffee facilities.
Lovely few days on the North East coast. Breakfast was just what you need with both cooked options and fruit/pastry. The staff were lovely in all areas of the hotel including the gym&pool. You can't go far wrong. Our room was comfy, clean and perfect for a short stay.
We had a little overnight stay at The Grand Hotel in Roker and we weren’t disappointed what a lovely hotel so clean and the staff were absolutely fantastic especially the man on reception!!so friendly nothing was a bother The beds were so comfortable we are booking again in a couple of weeks time without the children this time ha ha
