Hi,

I found about this hotel on Booking.com.

And there it says:

'The Grand tilbyr kveldsunderholdning i den praktfulle Cabaret Ballroom året rundt.'.



http://www.booking.com/hotel/gb/grandscarboroughhotel.no.html?aid=303948;label=bookings-naam-3jHr6EsDyn1Uq9ttdGmKKwS21593524221%3Apl%3Ata%3Ap1%3Ap2300%2C000%3Aac%3Aap1t1%3Aneg;sid=60ac93c5847991d9bc76103cfe8d772a;dcid=1;checkin=2013-07-04;checkout=2013-07-05;srfid=56733e7d46d9f42d3237ac6b1ebe1f50c60fffb0X2

Meaning: 'The Grand offers nightly entertainment in the beautiful Cabaret Ballrom all year'.

So I thought this was something everyone could go and have a look at.

And on the cabaret-pictures on that website, it's also a group of people, (men and women), not only one guy singing.

So when you advertise with cabaret every night of the year, then it should be like that, I think.

And when people complain, then they should be taken seriously I think.

It's like you don't take complaints serously, I think.


Also a seagull woke me up at around 4 AM.

And I don't think you had any alarm-clocks in the room.

And no phones, (for room-service etc. eighter).

And no mini-bar.

So there are a lot more things I could complain about.


But I brought my own alarm-clock so that wasn't that important.

But I thought I was a bit tricked by you when the cabaret wasn't as varied as it seemed like, on your website(s).

Also I asked Lisa in the reception, if there was a cabaret, when I checked in.


(Because I have a travel-blog, and thought that you have a cabaret was a bit fun.

So I got a bit disapointed when this cabaret wasn't as entertaining as it usually is, from the mentioned pictures).

Also, the entertainer said everyone should laugh, (in the middle of an Italian song, I think it was), and then the scene was flooded in red lights.

So this wasn't family friendly entertainment, I think.

It must have been scary for the kids, I think.

I noticed one little girl, who sat next to the scene, who went out of the room, many times, with her mother following her.

So this was more like the entertainment in Hell, I think.

Hi,

now I'm attaching a screen-shot, from your website.

(http://www.scarboroughgrandhotel.co.uk/The_Grand_Hotel_Scarborough_Facilities.html).

On your website, it is pictures of women, on the picture describing the cabaret.

This is what I mean.

Yet when people go to your hotel, they only get to see one guy singing.

That's not even worthy being called a cabaret.


Because cabarets should be more varied, I've read.

This guy also said some other act was going to be back, for the people staying more than just Friday.

So the cabaret on Friday wasn't the normal one.

And in your e-mail you twist on it, and say you can't have the cabaret-type I mean.

This is outragous.

You try to make me look bad because I point out that your cabaret wasn't up to the standard you advetise it with, on your website.

Is this Fawly Towers in Weymouth?

This is a joke.

How can you write such a thing?

If you were Pinochio your nose would have grown.

It's the last time I'm ever going to set my fet in the Grand in Scarborough.

I've been at the Grand hotel in Larvik, in Norway, and noone told me any lies there.

My relative Gedde, has constructed the infantry-building, in Fredrikstad, in Norway, which is built on the same theme as the Grand hotel in Scarborough, with one room for every day of the year, etc.

You put shame on these old buildings with your bloddy lies.

You're full of shit!

Hi,


I was at your hotel, from Friday to Saturday.

I wanted to complain about the cabaret, on Friday night.

On your websites it's pictures of a lot of women.

But it wasn't a single woman in the cabaret.

And it's supposed to be for the whole family, I see now.

But it wasn't anything to look at for the men, (I'd say).

On the website it is pictures of a lot women.

But instead there were a lot of kids, on the late night cabaret, sitting beside the stage.

Perhaps you should make the cabaret adult only.

And have some pretty women in it.

Because this was disapointing for the men, I'd say.

When I think of cabaret, I think about something for men.

But this was something for women and kids, it seems.

I thought this hotel was for men as well.

I think it's a bit strange that you have a cabaret with only one man in.

Then it's a perfomance, I'd say.

I think cabarets are supposed to be more varied.

And when it's quite late at night, people would think it's for adults, (especially in the weekend).

So this was disapointing, I think.

You write on your website, that it's a 'relaxing and peaceful' hotel.




So then people would think it's for adults.

But the entertainment is only for kids and women, it seems.

This is poor, I think.

Is it so that men aren't welcome at your hotel?
