Exactly as expected. Pleasant.
Pros:

Breakfast was modest but entirely as described, and entirely enough for us. Location was good, Good for us to visit Burns museum and Dumfries House. Good stop-off on a long journey to catch the ferry from Troon.

Cons:

a little noise transfer from the road outside, but not too intrusive.

Great hotel for the price
Pros:

Great bathroom. Comfortable room. Friendly staff

Cons:

Pillows could do with a refresh as they were kind of flat. Public parking not a dealbreaker but something to consider.

Wouldn’t recommend was only interested in taking our money
Pros:

The room was clean and tidy

Cons:

We paid for early check in this has been verified 3 times on arrival at the hotel we were advised there was an additional £10 for early check in which we paid then was told our room wasn’t ready and we wouldn’t be able to get into it , we were giving little information about how to order breakfast or even how to get into to the hotel after hours when we had already advised we would be late getting back at night we had to wait for someone to open the door as it wasn’t explained to us that the keys we had opened the main door as well we weren’t able to order breakfast as the card in our room wasn’t seen until morning time due to only being at the hotel 15 mins before leaving for the day for a wedding which the staff were aware off the hotel room was very small and the bed was tiny
