“The Grand Hotel Whanganui's central location is a definitive advantage, placing guests within walking distance of the CBD; plus, the on-site bar, although basic, seems to be a social focal point, with events such as karaoke nights creating a lively atmosphere. It appears the staff can be a real asset, particularly the personable bartender and manager who clearly strive to create a more positive experience. While some aspects require attention, the commitment of specific staff members and the convenient location provide a foundation to build upon.”
