Centrally located
The hotel is centrally located, but it’s also very quiet. One of the elevators was out of order throughout our stay, so it was always a wait to leave the room in the morning due to the elevator being packed. The room was quite outdated with not so clean carpet and the floor was uneven in one part of the room. The extra chair in the room had multiple stains and there was a dark red stain on the carpet. The service was excellent and we were given a heater within 10min of arriving since the heating in the room wasn’t working. I also stayed in Apex City of London and this hotel was run down compared to the London one. However, the bathrooms were clean and modern and price for the location was excellent.

We stayed in a one bedroom, suite and found it quite comfortable. The little nice cities meant a lot. I like the real wool blanket on the bed and so fitting for staying in Scotland. There is one gal in the Breakfast room that had a terrible attitude, though. She would ask you what you want to order as you were walking to the ladies room or the buffet. Totally inappropriate. Other than the one gal, we found the staff very helpful and friendly.
