Go into Bay Horse which was a loud karaoke bar on a Sat night. Bartender told me to go across the street to check-in. Go across. They give me key and send me back to the bar and our room (newly renovated and clean enough) is above the bar. Floor was literally vibrating from the loud bass and singing directly below us. Left and found another hotel.

Nice place for a night.
Simple and inexpensive place to stay the night. The check in was across the street--inconvenient if it is raining. The pub downstairs was kind enough to hold my luggage while I ran over. This place was very clean with plenty of hot water, fresh towels, an electric kettle with coffee/tea. It was warm and the window opened easily for a little ventilation. The television had multiple options and worked great. The internet, however, did not work, but that didn't inconvenience me. One thing--the pub downstairs has karaoke on Friday nights, and it's LOUD. Like shake the floors loud. If you are out late, or want to go downstairs and participate (very nice patrons and staff) it won't be a bother, but it was LOUD. There is a bus stop just outside where the 255 runs and will take you into central Glasgow.

Stop over near Glasgow
After a breakdown we arrived very late. The owner made arrangements to leave keys for us and made sure we knew where to park.

The owners changed the locks during my stay. They key they gave me didnt work. My passport and all my personal belongings were locked in the place and there is no one who will answer your calls past 9ish. It made me feel terrified that i would be sleeping on the streets that night. I had to shove my arm through through the mail slot and use a stick to unlock it from the outside. I left two terrified crying voicemails begging them for help. Its 2 days later and I have heard nothing from them. I left a night early and opted to sleep in the airport. Never will stay here under any circumstances ever again

A convenient place to stay the night to break my journey from south of England to central Scotland. An unremarkable but adequate room in an unremarkable place. More noise (pub and traffic) than I'm used to

Clean and met minimum standards for its relatively cheap price. Tea and coffee in room. Spacious. Noisy, pub was rowdy until about 2330. As a sole female guest, i felt slightly concerned as a bouncer was on the pub door, on a Weds night! Supposedly due to horse racing taking place in Hamilton. Car parking was at an indian restaurant across the dual carriageway. The restaurant also provided check-in. Was unaware of this on arrival. Not made very clear on booking. Therefore had to phone the hotel contact number and drive back around to find the restaurant; inconvenient.Decorating was also of poor quality.

What a pleasant surprise as it was not what I expected. Check in across the road at an enticing Indian Restaurant - able to safely park car in the Restaurant Car Park - room was very clean, comfortable bed, great shower, larger than usual TV. Room looked out on a busy dual carriageway but noise limited by glazed window and noise from pub downstairs was bearable and ended at closing time. Pricing was incredible. Will definitely be back.

I wish I could rate it zero stars!!!!
I thought I was checking into a hotel but when I arrived I found out that it was a pub with a few rooms above! There was no hotel reception. They told me to go to the restaurant across the street to pick up the keys! When I got to the restaurant it was closed! I couldn’t check in. I tried calling the number I was sent by hotels.com & the number on the restaurant door but there was no response. After a couple of hours dealing with hotels.com call center representative and getting nowhere, I had to find alternative accommodation for my stay! I struggled to find anything! It was a cold wet miserable Night in Hamilton!! I eventually found a hotel many hours later after going to 4 other hotels that were fully booked! I eventually checked in around 3am! I didn’t check in to The Bay Horse hotel so I can’t comment on the rooms. However looking at the pub below and the overall building I would highly recommend avoiding this place like the plague! This is without doubt the worst hotel experience I have ever had! The pub is very loud & had a karaoke until the early hours! There was no onsite reception or security! So if you need any assistance or have an emergency, you are on your own! This is very unsafe IMHO! It’s run on a part time basis by an Indian restaurant across the street! If you are looking for somewhere loud, difficult to sleep in, with no security or hotel front desk, The Bay Horse is a perfect option!
