Wonderful

The room was slightly small for 4 people, however we were only there for 1 night so didn’t spend much time in it. The location is perfect, right next to st Enochs and having the river right next to it makes for a nice walk. The location is the reason we have stayed at this hotel on more than 1 location. Having discount parking so close is a massive perk too!
The staff have been amazing. They helped us when we were on route with the questions about emissions in Glasgow.
When a bad storm came through so it was not desirable to drive they extended our stay with no fuss.
The breakfast is full English +++ and is great
It is very well located for walking or catching the hop on bus
This was a nice hotel for the purpose it served, a little small for our family of four.
Staff was not as nice as many scotts I have met in my teip, but it was ok. Breakfast was okay, enough to get you started
Staff didn't tell us about heat/ac controls for the rooms downstairs. So when we changed the temperature to 17C and fan on high it never cooled. When we reported it thats when they told us we should have called downstairs.
