We stay in Whitby several times a year and decided to give the Granby a go on this visit. The location is brilliant and the price similar to other pub accommodation in the area. The lady who showed us to our room was unfriendly and unwelcoming, which wasn't a good start. Staff also never said hello when we were coming in and out of the building during our stay which was a shame. We stayed in Room 1. On our way up the stairs we noticed immediately that there was a smell of old food and damp. Once we got into our room, the smell got worse and we discovered that the bathroom stunk of drains. The bathroom door handle and loo roll holder were hanging off and the tiny fan in the shower was caked with dust, creating a fire hazard if the motor overheats. The shower pressure was very low and the windows rickety - we had to open them wide for the smell and they didn't look well fitted and sturdy at all. The mattress was heavily stained too - the mattress topper just wouldn't stay on properly which is how I found this out. The blinds fitted directly to the windows themselves, which meant that the room was lovely and dark - however, this also meant that we couldn't leave a window open overnight for the smell as it was far too bright from about 4am. The Granby is on quite a busy street opposite other businesses, so it also gets noisy from about 6am. We definitely wouldn't stay here again. We usually stay at The Endeavour which is the same price as the Granby and much better accommodation.
