Comfortable but cleanliness could be improved
Pros:

Close to Billings Aquadrome

Cons:

The toilet was dirty and there was a terrible smell in there once we’d had a shower. I also asked for a ground floor room and received a message to say this had been allocated, however on arrival and check in, there were no ground floor rooms left

Nice room, lovely hotel staff, pleasant location, excellent breakfast.
Pros:

Perfectly comfortable room, as expected, with very friendly and helpful reception staff. Breakfast was excellent in the on-site pub. We also had a drink in the pub, and it was a very pleasant waterfront location for this.
