ECCOnoob Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 ........Which again suspects a bug brought in by an outsider not anything to do with the hotel food. This is the problem with these stories. People automatically assume that vometing bug = bad food and therefore the Hotel must be to blame. The Grand Hotel along with many others of its age and size is a target for anything like this. They are only ones with several hundreds of rooms to fill. They are cleaned to a basic but adequate standard and charge their rates appropraitely for the slightly rough round the edges look That's why people can get full board often for less than £30.00 a night. Coachloads of people pile in on cheap trips stay in each other's company all day and night because they dont want to have to leave the hotel walls and pay for anything themselves - then people kick off about the "disgusting" hotel and "poor" conditions... etc etc when someone gets ill. BUT what they rarely complain about is Mr and Mrs X who had to stop the coach twice on the way in to be sick and who just might have contaminated the whole group.

ECCOnoob Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 Yes...couple that with the filthy rooms. I had friends who stayed there a while back....truly awful experience. The reputation of this establishment leaves much to be desired....they are now famous for the outbreaks of food poisoning. There are much better alternatives in Scarborough....there has to be Yeah there are better hotels in Scarborough if you are prepared to pay a lot more for them and without the included entertainment, buffet style meals etc... The old phrase is you get what you pay for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rossyrooney Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 We used to stay regularly as Scarborough is on of our favourite places. We came back twice with stomach infections and havent been there since. The hotel changed hands quite a few times in recent years and could do with major investment,it seems service suffered at the hands of making quick profits. There are several nicer places to stay,but The Grand and Scarborough seem to go together,it's a pity but the hotel is not a patch on what she used to be.
