Special time making memories
Pros:

Had a lovely time with my young grandson overnight on Friday. Room was lovely shame no fridge or air con but we managed. The highlight though are def the staff. Aidan played 2 games of chess with Dylan and said how impressed he was with how he played for a nine year old. Wee guy loved the compliments. Juan the waiter at breakfast was just so lovely with him too and spent ages chatting to us both. Honestly they made his night and Juan has now challenged him to a game. Dylan can't wait to go back lol 😆 they made a wee boy really happy. We spent the following day at the theme park then family meal on Saturday night at yakatori. Made my birthday special especially since it was Dylans idea for a sleepover and spending sime quality tume with his nana x Great pressie

I have stayed here a few times now and have never been disappointed
Pros:

The stay was excellent. The hotel was spotless throughout form the rooms to the public areas. The staff, from the receptionist, through the wait staff, cooks and cleaners were exceptional and very friendly. The setting in Strathclyde Country Park is beautiful, and the entrance to M&Ds Themepark is under a minute away.

2* hotel at best.
Pros:

Breakfast was lovely. Location was spot on.

Cons:

Rooms are in desperate need of TLC. Tv so outdated its unbelievable. Bed mattress very very soft. Pillows really uncomfortable. Light carpets covered in stains/marks. Side panel of bed frame missing. Drawer missing exposing drawer runners. Fellow guests smoking weed causing an awful smell in corridor.

UNEVENTFUL
Pros:

GOOD FOOD, GOOD ROOM

Cons:

THERE IS A PARTICULAR RECEPTIONIST WHO, WHEN WE ARRIVED ON 26TH, COULD NOT BE ASKED. ATTITUDE WAS POOR.
THE MANAGER WAS CALLED AS OUR BOOKING COULD NOT BE FOUND. AND SAID THEY WERE BUSY. THEY SENT US TO HOLIDAY INN EXPRESS INSTEAD. BOOKING.COM DID NOT SEND OUR BOOKING APPARENTLY

Great location and pet friendly
Pros:

Staff were excellent, informative and always willing to help

Cons:

Our room was quite dated, probably because we had a dog (dog friendly room). Options for eating with a pet were limited (if weather inclement); your room or the couch in the foyer.
