Pros:

Everything was excellent, and I have no complaints at all.

The staff were wonderful and attentive, the rooms were clean and tidy, the location was great, and the food was really good.

A special thanks to the bartender for recommending Auchentoshan whisky to my wife and me! 😄 We even bought two bottles at the duty-free shop.

It was overall a convenient stay.
Pros:

Great location for the RCPSG. Breakfast was ok. They allow breakfast in room. Comfortable room. No concerns.

Cons:

Need to put effort into maintenance. The shower pipe was broken in my room, with sudden bursts of hot water.
The bathroom sink was a bit too high. Not a big problem. But just making suggestions for improvement.

Fine for 3 nights. For a solo traveller it would have been very expensive.
Pros:

Room was nice and quiet. Clean and comfortable beds. Staff were very helpful.

Cons:

A small room for two people.
A bit narrow - it was hard not to walk into the television when passing the ends of the beds
Very limited wardrobe space and no hooks for coats - much needed when the weather is wet.
Not enough places to hang wet towels in the bathroom.
