Pros:

Tappa del mio viaggio in moto verso la Scozia, comodo per la sosta di una notte in attesa della ripartenza verso Glasgow. Cortesia del personale e parcheggio per le moto in una posizione protetta. Lo consiglio.

Good hotel for the price, but don’t spend too much time in your room..
Pros:

Staff were great. Really friendly and helpful. Food in bar/restaurant was delicious, great quality and very reasonably priced. Breakfast was great too.. lots of choice.

Cons:

WiFi in bedroom wasn’t at all good. Overall nice hotel, but rooms looked tired and grubby. Could do with a refresh. Bathrooms especially, mould in shower and around skirting. Dim lights in rooms, gave the room an overall gloomy feel.

Good hotel with good facilities and pleasant staff. Perfect for a one night stop over.
Pros:

Very good breakfast with good selection of foods.
Dinner on previous evening was very good but more importantly staff were excellent and most accomodating. We were running late and restaurant was due to close . We called in advance and were able to place order over the phone and staff were very pleasant serving evening meal when we arrived.

Cons:

Bedside table and lamp hadn't been dusted....minor point!
Notices in room regarding not cosuming any personal food were somewhat unwelcoming and although I fully appreciate reasons for this, such notices could have been more subtle.
Noise on the evening both outside and in the corridor was disturbing. We could hear snoring from room next door.We had a ground floor room and were awoken by 2 men (about 12.30am)outside at our open window asking if anyone was in the room! To be fair I think they were a little merry and they apologised once we answered but this could have been worrying for perhaps a single traveller.
Despite the above comments the hotel was good overall and I would definitely recommend it to other travellers

Overall good value stay for 1 night.
Pros:

Modern restaurant and rooms. Good location for attending nearby wedding. Staff very friendly and breakfast was excellent.

Cons:

Rooms were a bit tired in places and areas of cleanliness could have been better (inner curtains and shower sealant in particular. Very thin pillows which did impact sleep.
