“Rooms in need of a facelift”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 January 2012

The bar and restaurant gave me high hopes for the rooms at the New Grand, but I was quickly disappointed. The facelift that has begun downstairs needs to migrate upstairs where the rooms are ancient and sterile. I understand the hotel is old, but give the poor gal some jazz. She just needs a splash of paint and someone who knows decor outside of gaudy, gold framed plant paintings. All in all it was comfortable and did the trick, but nothing to brag on.

Room Tip: Take a look at the rooms first to choose the size of your choice. Also, try to avoid the side overlo...

“Nice reception, great meals in-house”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 December 2011

The reception was warm and welcoming and the in-house meals great! But there was poor lighting in my room, so that I couldn't read. The radiator in my room didn't work and maybe that was a blessing because I was warm enough without it...but to allow a work crew to do maintenance on the roof with compressors (night of Dec. 6/2011) and taking apart kitchen fans, scraping and pressure washing at 4:30 until gone 7am made it impossible to sleep. I was going to stay another week, but will now look elsewhere.

Room Tip: Away from the back of the hotel and kitchen fans, and maintenance crews that work all night.

“It's OK”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 September 2011

The New Grand Hotel is well located in Nelson ... walking distance to everything. We stayed here for 5 days during the BC Seniors' Games. The room was basic ... but clean. The staff was very friendly and helpful.

“Nice stay!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 24 September 2011

We stayed overnight on a trip to Nelson. The hotel is clean and in the center of town. It's nothing fancy but the rooms are clean and staff is friendly and helpful. We love the town of Nelson. The people are fantastic, friendly and you can find organic food everywhere. It is one of our favorite BC towns.
