Hotels Near Poll Crandell Park in Esk

12.00 Thursday lunch. Couldn't order a burger at the beginning of service as they had run out - settled for steak sandwich. Then I ordered a couple of drinks, and I felt it a bit rude that the bar person initiated a conversation with, I presumed , a local while still serving me. The steak sandwich was not good. White warm sandwich loaf, no colour, so, not what I would describe as toasted. A handful of baby spinning, nicely cut cucumber, an enormous amount of raw onion, a very thick slice of capsicum and some grated cheese. B b que sauce that barely stained the stale bread / uncooked toast. The meat was dry and tastless. The salad without either dressing or sauce, not very nice. If there had been cooked onion, grilled cheese or at least sauce on the meat it would maybe have helped. I imagine that the cook has never had a cooking lesson or watched a cooking program or they were lazy and had no pride in what they dished up. Maybe they just gated their job in general or their employer. The chips were nice. A couple came in after us, left the majority of their meal and left before I had finished my soft drink. I'm told the cook is new. Don't waste your time until someone who can cook and cares about the food takes over. Total disappointment.

We have been staying at The EskGrand Hotel for 4 years now. Every time we stay we have a wonderful time due to Jo & his wonderful team. We are made to feel so welcome the minute we arrive by happy greetings & friendly staff. Nicki & Rachelle do a wonderful job at the bar & are always happy. The rooms are immaculately cleaned with 5 star linen & air conditioning. The beds & pillows are very comfortable & there is a bar fridge in every room. The bathrooms & toilets are always clean & there are thick white towels which are of high quality. Every meal we have had has been totally delicious & high quality. There are homemade deserts to choose from too. The beer garden is warm in winter with huge heaters & a cool breeze comes through in March when it was over 30*. There is also air conditioning in the main dining too. Kids & dogs are totally welcome. This hotel is a wonderful friendly place to stay in Esk. Always stay in Esk for 2 nights, it is a lovely friendly town. Thanks to the awesome Hotel Team.
