Mixed to poor . Resturant and staff were very pleasant . Room - which was a suite - was dissapointing and lack of heatin
Pros:

Staff were very pleasant.

Cons:

The bathroom was so cold ( January in Aberdeen )we elected to wait until we got home to shower . Also we arrived at 1pm for an official 3pm check in time and -despite the room being ready and available - were charged an extra £25 to get access . When we complained we were told it was in the `”small print “ of the conditions on line .

Comfortable and welcoming and represented very good value.
Pros:

Friendly and helpful staff throughout, breakfast was well organised with good choices of cooked items and fresh fruit, cereals etc. The restaurant and bar areas are very accessible from within the overall hotel environment which has quite a homely feel.
