Overall disappointing. From what I’d seen online I expected more. 3 stars at most.
Pros:

Room was comfortable, staff were friendly

Cons:

It didn’t meet my expectations of 4 stars. Pictures of food online were not representative of food available.

Due to restaurant I won't come back anymore
Pros:

Good place nice rooms

Cons:

Restaurant is not great. And staff unexperienced. Waiting so long for anything. Messed up with steak even I have said what steak. Instead of well done I get medium rare from one side and raw from the other. Staff even did not offer compensation... Dissaponting.

Great place to stay close to motorway network and Glasgow.
Pros:

Loved how modern clean and comfortable the hotel is. The staff are all friendly and helpful. Fantastic location next to the theme park for families. Breakfast selection and quality is excellent. Really nice to walk round the lake, but beware of the geese they can be a little angry. The burger in the theme restaurant next door was fabulous and loved the help yourself to salad and dips. Great ice cream bar for desserts. I also loved reliving my youth on the 2p machines. Overall had a great two night stay would definately stay again. A little Oasis of holiday relaxation set so close to motorway network.

Cons:

My husband didn't like that although there was a TV in the bar it was not on. The one in the bar next door was on but it was too loud inside to watch the football. He didn't want to watch it in the room as he likes the atmosphere with other people. I say this was not an issue. The bar was very quiet after 8pm so we went in the arcade which I loved 😍

Enjoyable comfy stay
Pros:

Location in Strathclyde Park enabled quick acres to green space for short walks.
Not busy, calm and unrushed.
Comfy large twin beds and spacious room.

Cons:

The fabric of the common space in the dining area was looking a bit tired.
