“The Grand By Skycity presents a mixed experience, as some aspects don't quite reach the expected level for a luxury establishment. While its location near the Sky Tower and access to amenities like the casino and dining venues are definite advantages, reports of service inconsistencies and room quality issues raise concerns. Ultimately, it appears that the hotel's premium pricing may not always align with the delivered experience.”
