An excellent city centre stay
Pros:

Close to the St Enoch's Centre and the centre of Glasgow, with a clean and tidy room
Well furnished with a great bed and bathroom and plenty of space for us to spend a bit of time in the room if we wished.

Cons:

The air conditioning reset to a warmer temp every time we left and pulled the power on the room, but we learned to set it again each time. The view wasn't great as we were facing a side street but we could see the Clutha Bar from the windows.
