“This place is shockingly bad”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 November 2011
1
person found this review helpful

Feet stuck to carpet, walls are paper thin and could here guy on phone next door and his callers voice. Room stuck of bleach, seeing the state of the rooms i wonder what the smell of bleach was masking. The decor was revolting and the hair dryer was from a leisure centre 20 yrs ago. The tv is the smallest i have seen in a hotel. Breakfast was not fit for a dog seriously horrible. We actually went out for dinner as was concerned by the actual cleaniness of the place and there was a small matter of no where to park even though i was told to park in a car park that clearly stated no parking for hotel residents otherwise vehicles will be removed......... Yea ok so only place to park was on street and its a nightmare. So please dont believe all the good reviews lol and these must have been done by friends and family of the hotel

“Excellent hotel for its age! Had a great stay and food was simple and just what you want.!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 June 2011

Don't give this hotel a miss as it probably one of a kind. Great atmosphere - food - and supper clean!

“Great Pub Food but not Special Occasions!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 January 2011

The food in Ellingtons Diner was good for pub food but the waiting staff were not interested and we too busy avoiding us. Cleaning tables instead of clearing our plates! The food was good but lacked presentation. On the whole, I would return for a pub lunch but wouldn't take someone who I was looking to impress!

“Worth a nights stay”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 November 2010

In my view worth a stay to experience the Art Deco style. Hard to tell what is original and what is a more recent addition. Noisy room (thin walls) and excessively hot.

“perfect wedding venue”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 17 August 2010

Stayed for one night after attending a wedding function there. Enjoyed a hassle free and friendly service from check-in to check-out. My room (criticised by someone long ago in a previous review) was spacious, clean and outside traffick barely audible The function ran like clockwork and the owner can be very proud of himself and his staff. The highlight was the main course for the evening set meal. Many functions fall short by serving dried out fare prepared too far in advance. The northen get round this by running the main course as a carvery. Genious. Amongst other things skirlie and neeps were offered up without apology so lots of credit for keeping good scottish food alive!
