Holiday in Scotland
Pros:

The staff were friendly and welcoming throughout our stay.
The unexpected highlight, however, was the bathroom door. It could transform the bathroom into two separate areas by screening off the toilet. A surprisingly clever design feature that provided both privacy and a good laugh!

Cons:

Nothing

Pros:

Location

Cons:

Breakfast was a joke, the dining area far too small to accomodate all the people staying there, it was a fight to get to the food, and if there was any left there was nowhere to sit and eat it, people were sat on the floor at the reception area balancing food on their knees, we left both mornings, just was not worth the hassle of lining up and waiting, we went elsewhere.

Excellent value for money and location if you can walk around 20 mins to the main shopping centre and bars
Pros:

It was central for both the shopping center and train station, but far enough away from the main center to be quite at night

Cons:

No car parking at the hotel
