It’s an average stay. Nothing stands out. Heater did not work in our room. Called room service multiple times. Got told nothing can be done apart from giving us extra blankets. Poor customer service during check in aswell. Had to ask about parking, breakfast and pools. No information was given unless asked.

Reception team needs major retraining
Check in experience was the worst and they forgot to return me my passport. No one called my room to inform me or tried to return it to me when they realised they had it. I had to go down 30 min after I checked in when I discovered it wasn’t with me, to retrieve it for myself. No apology with the “we were going to send it to your room” and no move to get it for me there and then until I said “where is it? Please return it right now”. It was most bizarre behaviour. Also no explanation for why and how much they were swiping my credit card for (I assumed it was for incidentals since I prepaid but I’ve never had a hotel not take the initiative to explain that and tell me how much they are holding). A different person checked me out and there was again no mention that they will cancel the hold on my card when I checked out - until I asked. Again something all other hotels take the initiative to do. All in all, the reception team - the first and last representatives of your hotel that guests interact with - needs some serious retraining. An absolute train wreck of a team that seems incapable of saying anything beyond the bare minimum until asked - perhaps in hope that you’ll leave them alone and not use up too much of their time or energy.

Wonderful experience at the Grand
The Grand at SkyCity is centrally located and easy to find, thanks to the Sky Tower. We were able to walk everywhere, and there are plenty of great restaurants nearby, like Depot, Federal Deli, and Cassia. The staff was friendly and courteous, accommodating both an early check-in and a late checkout. They also upgraded us to a deluxe king room. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and look forward to returning.

Have stayed at The Grand previously but first time to have breakfast at the Terrace. Food selection is good but layout can be improved. People bumping into each other going from one station to another and their tables. Al fresco seating preferable over indoor (lights dim and can get noisy during busy hours). Overall stay was still pleasant. Dined at Metita and it was amazing!
