Local politician Mr. Duncan has publicized his plans to engage in discussions with Britannia Hotels, the owner of The Grand building, during his first week in office. He expressed his intention to take assertive action to acquire the hotel using new mayoral powers and funding. His goal is to restore The Grand to its former prestige, sparking townwide rejuvenation and returning Scarborough to its glory days.
However, not everyone shares Mr. Duncan’s sentiment regarding the condition of The Grand. One customer left a positive review on TripAdvisor, praising amenities such as a jacuzzi bath, extra pillows, and a coffee machine. The potential financial details of Mr. Duncan’s proposed acquisition remain unclear.
On the other hand, a less favorable account of The Grand came from a stay by Poppy Law, who reported encountering cleanliness issues such as bodily hair on the bedding, stains on the sheets, spiders in the bathroom, and dust accumulation. The Daily Star reached out to Britannia Hotels for their input on the matter.
