We booked a 3 night stay as a base for a trip up to see friends and go to a gig in Edinburgh. Good road access, however, only 3 disabled spaces, which could be better, especially at peak times and much of the remaining car park is on an angle except the disabled bays and beyond. If you have mobility issues, first floor rooms are accessed by stairs, no lift so be aware! Reception staff were helpful and friendly, Lee was especially helpful with some great travel and parking hints for us to access the gig better. Breakfast was basic hot & cold offerings with limited options but acceptable. Only one hot drinks machine was an issue with waiting, ran out of coffee beans quickly which staff addressed immediately. No flow to the breakfast system meant that people were crowded in areas near drinks machines and toaster. Again, staff were excellent and hard working. Room was clean and comfortable, relatively quiet area. Our shower bracket fell off the tiles when I carefully moved it to direct the head where needed. The clip had rusted. Reported it to staff who apologised for not being able to address the issue until Monday, which was not a problem and did not affect the shower or usage. I would use the hotel again.

I was in town doing some genealogy research. This hotel was a great location for accessing the different highways and a local shopping area. It is right next door to an excellent restaurant. The staff were super from the ladies who helped with breakfast, the front desk personnel who helped me find places to purchase items, and housekeeping who kept things clean.

The hotel is in convenient location with plenty parking spaces. Friendly and welcoming staff. Variety of breakfast items to choose from. There were also food-to-go options if you are in a hurry and don't have enough time to seat down and have your breakfast. The room and bathroom were spotlessly clean.

Shower was broke, cheap fixtures. Way over priced. Have stayed at many hotels in Scotland and this was the worse one. Would not go back or recommend.

The super king size bed was very comfortable and the room was very clean. The help yourself breakfast was well stocked even towards the end of the allotted breakfast period. I have seen complaints about noisy doors and can understand why!! The way the door locking mechanism works, makes it difficult for occupants to leave their rooms quietly. Overall, it was a pleasant two night stay and I would be happy to use the hotel again in the future.

Sofa bed for the kids was very uncomfortable and took away a lot of space in the room (desk was unusable due to this). Breakfast was very good. Lovely pub next door.

It was so nice for us to have break-fast before heading out. Really impressed by that. Also, we enjoyed the nearby park that you could walk to by a trail - it was a nice walk and a nice park to visit.

Older building with smaller rooms but ok if you have no other choice. Eggs n beans with the breakfast. Plates n utensils could be more cleaner. A lady, who was serving breakfast tables seemed more worried about everything and specially rude to kids. I was not sure if it was the nature of her work or if it was something else in her mind.

Booked an add on stay online which was confirmed with reception in the morning agreeing that I would keep the same room. Only to find my belongings at reception that evening as I had been removed from the room. On presentation of booking confirmation I was given another room which amazingly enough had different TV channels as I was at the other end of the corridor. Impressive if it wasn’t infuriating.

Such a shame as what started out to be a great stay - lovely room etc to be absolutely spoiled by the dreadful breakfast experience- we were NOT late for breakfast but we were met with a horror look from the waitress on duty who told us that she had been “ absolutely rammed “ and that there was not a lot left but did we want her to cook anything else? Obviously because of her attitude we declined and then to top it all a member of staff then came up and collected her breakfast which obviously left even less for us - no croissants either and I had to request bread for toast only to be presented with a plate if frozen slices and told “it’ll be okay once it’s toasted “ so disappointing end to our stay
