The biggest challenge was the 'double' bed, it was a large single at best. Also the rooms were cold with inadequate hot water supplys.

Single room was like a sauna with window full open and fan going. No adjustment on the big radiator in the small room. As window had to be fully open (safety catch had been removed) it was very loud on a Saturday night until early hrs then the street cleaners start. Room grubby but cheap. Also when I returned from work at 2 in morning no one answered the call button so was locked out. Had to bang on the windows hard. On a plus note the breakfast was good

Quick check in. Room 202 single occupancy. Decent size bathroom. Then down hill! Instant stench of smoke hits you as you open the door. Unable to open the window due to 3 large screws securing it shut. Proceed to go to the bar to get away from the stench to be told no internet connection to connect to via contactless for a drink. So goes over to the local town centre for a walk out. Gets back to the hotel to find the neighbouring room is having a rave. Music goes on for as long as I could bare, rang down the receptionist was helpful and did give the neighbour a knock. Music eventually turned off. I know this a budget one night stay. But if you have a window that does open. You’d expect to be able to use it. Also for a hotel/pub/resturant there has been a smoking ban for years. How can the domestics not smell it? Probably nose blind to the lack of fresh air coming through the window.

Okay stay

Beautiful historic building but not as clean as it could be. Windows filthy, fan and iron in our room were extremely dirty. Fan blew dust everywhere. Bed was nice and comfy. Carpets need a deep clean. Was a grand hotel in its day and with some work could be a nice place again

Toilet door did not shut. Very shabby. The bed was not even a full double which for two porkers like us led to a very uncomfortable nights sleep.

Disappointing stay in Hartlepool

We stayed here for 2 nights, but had to move from our 1st room due to broken window and kettle. We moved next door which was okay, but the cleanliness ciuld have been better. Window sills were filthy and cobwebs hanging from the ceiling above the window. Outside was quite noisy at night. We never got asked if we wanted to pay for breakfast or needed to book a table for a meal. So although its called a Grand Hotel it isnt quite that on the inside.
