We had a wonderful spa break at The Grand, where the service was outstanding and reminiscent of the best hotels I've experienced. The spa treatments were quite enjoyable, although the ambiance was occasionally disrupted by children in the pool area. Overall, the dining experience was pleasant, with a great selection for breakfast and an adequate dinner, though it didn't quite reach five-star quality. I would definitely return to this hotel, especially for the dedicated service and cozy atmosphere.

The hotel has a grand and historical charm, making it an interesting place to stay. The indoor pool and afternoon tea service were delightful highlights, alongside the excellent breakfast. However, the rooms could use some TLC, and I encountered issues that detracted from the overall value, especially given the expectations set for a five-star hotel.
