Excellent stay in comfortable apartments. Very handy location to break journey to Scotland.
Pros:

Friendly, helpful staff. Thoughtful extras in room (we had a dog in one of our rooms, mat, blanket, treats and poo-bag laid out ready). Comfortable beds, plenty of storage.

Cons:

Nothing serious at all but note for the hotel: Carpark next to hotel awkward to find and access even though it was literally behind the hotel. The directions given were confusing, compounded by the street signs giving conflicting information! All it needs is a very simple map and description.

A great place - would use again - just need full size bed
Cons:

A big room but only a standard double bed, which felt too small for us as a couple and the room could have taken a king

Great apart from the lift. On that alone I sadly couldn't come back.
Pros:

The Apartment was spacious and modern. Good quality linens and towels. The shower unit was spacious a good flow.
The kitchen had all that was needed and more - all modern and good quality with crumpets, jam, milk and both sparkling and stilll water. Large TV plus smaller tv in each bedroom. Very comfortable stay.
The private car parking (£12 daily,) was quite expensive but very close to the hotel.

Cons:

The Glass Sided Elevator was very Scary as the sheer drop visible on 4 sides before it reached the floor our Apartment was on was huge. Also it rose VERY slowly leaving lots of time to panic. Others didn't seem to mind.

Nothing. I’d stay again.

Not worth the money.
Pros:

Central location

Cons:

Unfortunately the layout of the hotel means that the very noisy bar is directly under a lot of rooms on the first floor. Certain reception staff were rude and uninterested to deal with any complaints. Not worth the money.
