About this listen

Welcome to the hotel where nobody checks out. When a desk clerk welcomes a group of tourists into his mysterious and crumbling hotel, the last thing he expects is that a lone girl on his tour may hold the power to unravel the hidden mystery that has lain for untold centuries within the structure’s walls. The Grand Hotel is a horror novel by esteemed best-selling author Scott Kenemore (Zombie, Ohio) that takes the reader on a thrilling ride through an interconnected series of stories narrated by the desk clerk and the residents of the hotel itself. And while it is not known whether or not the desk clerk is actually the devil incarnate, it is strange that so many visitors who come for a tour of the hotel have a way of never leaving. As the narrator takes you deeper and deeper into the heart of the hotel, secrets that have been hiding for aeons begin to show themselves. Although he is quite prepared for this experience, there is some question as to whether or not the rest of the world shares this readiness. Kenemore's incredible style and originality carry The Grand Hotel to places most people only see in their nightmares. And while we don’t know all of the secrets that lie within the Grand Hotel, we know that the person who does hold that knowledge puts fear into the narrator himself - a thought that ought to terrify everyone.

Different

Parts of this story I really enjoyed, others not so. I found the narrator’s attempt at an English accent (the priest) irritating as though trying to copy a posh accent from the 40s or 50s Hollywood. I’ve never heard the name Samantha pronounced Samahntha, or Doris as Dawris. Even the Aussie pronounced passage as passahge. Some listeners might not be bothered but it spoiled parts of it for me. Narration makes all the difference.

A collection of stories with an interesting end tale

The Grand Hotel has a night clerk escort tourists around meetings some of the guests of the hotel. Each tells a story and there is a final one that gives a reveals at the end.
A good take on one of the popular classics (I won’t mention as it could spoil the ending)
Nice mix of cast telling the stories

Loved it!

The Grand Hotel full of residents with stories to tell to the visitors being shown around by a decidedly creepy night clerk. Looking at the reviews for this book it seems to be like marmite well I love it!

Starts of slowly but stick with it as it does get addictive and I thought I had it sussed out but I didn’t. Brilliantly narrated and a freebie from the plus catalog what’s not to like?

Mixed feelings about this book .

It reads more like a collection of short stories that are not interconnected until loosely at the end . I felt it was overly long and I found it a struggle to get to the end to finally be able to work out what it was all about .

Superb!!!

Literally stayed awake all night gripped by this truly unique and exquisitely performed novel. What a joy to experience this very individual collection of stories within a story, and though I began to suspect the true function and representation of The Grand Hotel, I still found that surprises waited in the final chapter. You will not be disappointed.

Great feature in the catalog

This book is absolutely a hidden gem, enjoyed throughout. The story is gripping and not too creepy or scary. The voice actor does a great job, his voice is beautiful but the accents are a bit funny tbh.
