Pros:

Easy access to the course I attended.

Cons:

There is no heating in the room and 1 towel only.
On request for a heater, I was given an itchy extra blanket and told I could 1 more towel in the morning.
It is a very cold room and I was very disappointed 😞

Good. Would stay there again - very comfortable and spacious.
Pros:

Very comfy bed. Free Parking. Excellent heater in room. Spacious and well setup. Handy to everyone (although the road is a bit busy, has a wee bit of traffic noise - just a wee bit). Shower good. Lovely and clean and modern.

Cons:

We stayed 2 nights. The neighbouring room had a party until 2am the first night (booze bottles clanking and loud talking outside the room by many men), then they were noisey again at 7am cleaning up the glass bottles. :( ....thankfully they weren't there the 2nd night and we were able to have a better nights sleep that night.
