Grand Hotel Kiama

The hotel is within walking distance of the blowhole, the main street of Kiama, the markets, the surf beach, and the train station. It is an old pub with old facilities that needed work, all of which was expected for the price. But a few easy fixes could have changed this room's rating for the price from poor to good value. The floor was visually dirty. When opening and closing the blind you got black dirt on your skin/ clothes. The shared bathroom facilities never had toilet paper and lacked a bin for paper towels. The windows needed to be opened prior to guests to remove the stale air smell. The staff we interacted with were friendly and helpful, but obviously expecting complaints from their behavior.
