Our family of four spent two nights at Le Grand. I requested a room at the back of the hotel after reading the reviews commenting on the noise. It was however still reasonably noisy but it being a weekend and located on the main street of the city, its to be expected. The hotel is shabby chic and is in need of updating. In saying that though, the room was enormous and had a king bed and two singles with plenty of room and a big bathroom. It was clean and comfortable and for $145 a night, I can't complain - definitely value for money. Can recommend River Kitchen and Palate as fantastic places to eat.

Stayed 1 night in a Deluxe suite using a Wotif free upgrade. Huge room and bathroom, but agree with 'triflow' that a lot of wasted space. Great location amongst all the restaurants, bars and the casino. Good free parking too. Unfortunately noise problems at 1.00am with restaurants below cleaning up and putting out rubbish and again at 6.00am with 'beeping' rubbish trucks picking up this rubbish. Very thoughtful of hotel to supply sets of ear plugs - should have been warned by this! Lack of sleep spoilt great night.

stayed at le grand a few weeks ago was a massive room but dated and terribly hot and when asked for a fan it took them so long we called twice then they came up with the most tiny fan id ever seen. We had a young baby with us who always sleeps in her port a cot when we travel but this time she screamed every time we put her in she just didnt like the feel to this room. the bathroom was not clean there was dust caking on top of the toilet roll holder and the tiles had bathroom scum all through them it was so bad i wore my jandels in the shower, under the bed was so much dust it wasn't funny and there was TOOTHPASTE on the tap in our sink. We had to have the windows open so it was noisey. I was very disgusted at how poorly cleaned this room was and do not recommend this hotel to anyone.

Stayed there on a Saturday night and even though I was expecting to hear lots of noise from the street due to the location, it wasnt that bad and I think it was because it was pelting down with rain that the party goers decided to stay indoors that night.

We didnt have any ear plugs in our room but that maybe because we were on the hotel carpark side. The carpark is VERY tight, however it is free so no complaints there.

The room was nice except for the massive soaking wet patch under the window by our bed which we had to keep avoiding. It was raining that day/night but the window had been closed. There was no cutlery besides teaspoons to eat our food that we bought back with us. Luckily we didnt need a plate to eat off as there was none of those either. No pen to write feedback on the feedback form that was on the desk which usually all Hotels provide along with some stationery (i.e. writing pad). No room service. The mini bar choices were limited, in fact the hotel might as well not provide this either.

I guess my expectations were pretty high when I choose this place to stay.

Its in a good location. Did not eat at the main restaurant as it was closed but there are plenty restaurant choices along the street.

Wouldnt stay there again to be honest.
