Esk Grand Hotel

Esk Grand Hotel

8/10 Good
"The Hotel is an Old Hotel, full of character for a country town. Accommodation is upstairs, so you need to climb stairs. Interior and exterior. The reception is at the bar. Plenty of parking at the rear of the hotel. The single room, has a queen bed, bar fridge, chest of drawers and a desk which has tea, coffee, biscuits, cup n saucer x2. TV and a small hand basin, with toiletries, No toilet or shower/bath in room. They are positioned off the hall way. So you will be sharing them with other guests. So don't expect these to be in pristine condition. The staff are very friendly and willing to assist you with any concerns you may have. The food is affordable and excellent servings, Seniors Meals were Large and delicious. We celebrated a 99th Birthday for Lunch. And there was plenty of room to accommodate a big crowd. They staff kindly decorated the area with balloons, and fully set tables. And the staff were very attentive to your needs. Coffee shop had amazing dessert cakes etc. If you are passing through Esk, stop off and enjoy a great meal here."

"Driving in, the first thing I noticed was how lovely the gardens are. Then when I entered my room, how clean it was. I slept well in the comfortable bed, and a good shower. Enough room in the fridge for some of my Esky bottles, and they froze. I can't say that for all motel fridges. A bench to sit at when using the laptop, and a handy power point for it. Nice motel."
