“Excellent Restaurant, Great Staff”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 February 2012

We had a great stay at the Park Hotel. The food in the restaurant was excellent: the food in the evening was very good - a wide range to choose of on the menu and everything beautifully cooked. The breakfast too was very nicely prepared and presented.

All of the staff that we met were very helpful and friendly.

The room we stayed in was fine - fairly simple and perhaps could do with better sound insulation; but the room was very clean, the shower was good and the bed was very comfortable.

Our stay was also excellent value for money.

“Great food, shame about the service”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 4 February 2012

Was part of a team of 22 staying here for a fireteam refresher course, it was a lottery on the type of room you received, i drew the short straw and had a tiny room with twin single beds, the shower was tepid even when put on the max heat option.
The restaurant food was great, but the service was poor, i think the staff must have been on a smile sharing scheme because a dourer, unhappy bunch i have yet to come across.
Definately must try harder with customer care

Room Tip: Try and avoid twin single room

“4 months at this hotel. Get the right room, and you'll be fine!”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 February 2012
1
person found this review helpful

I am staying at the park for business, and I am now in my fourth month staying here. I have stayed in a very wide selection of rooms, varying from twin to family and executive rooms.

I have also tried everything on the menu in this time.

Rooms:

Rooms are numbered from 201-468 then a seperate outbuilding of 5 rooms 501-505.

The best rooms and the ones you should be requesting when booking are in the 200 series, as this is the main building. If possible book rooms 217(double) and 216 (family) are on their own. And you won't be bothered by other guests these rooms have the best wifi signal in the hotel. Failing that, 208 has a jacuzzi, and 205-207 have been recently refurbished and are the nicest decorated rooms. Although wifi signal in 205-207 is non-existant. These rooms also suffer from no cold water as hot comes from both taps!

Any room starting with a 3 or 4 are your basic rooms, and are quite old fashioned. Avoid at all costs 467 and 468. They have an adjoining door, Let's just say the couple next to me that week had some good nights!

All rooms have a HDTV with hdmi inputs on the side (handy for games console) sockets for phone chargers next to the bed can be difficult to locate. And some rooms have sockets on opposite ends of the rooms (mostly 400 series rooms) so keep that in mind.

Showers are generally excellent in all rooms. But extractor fans will have you wishing you had earplugs!

Food:

Portions are big, and the food is of a very high quality. Specials rotate almost on a bi-weekly basis. Soups are very good.

Although slightly pricer than other restaurants in Montrose, you won't get a bad meal.

My recommendations are. Breaded haddock and chips, steak pie, and the burger (cooked medium, which trust me sounds funny, but the meat is minced on a per burger basis and takes away the dryness of a well done burger) also the Belgian waffles on the desert menu are epic. They are what every guest should experience!

Fillet steak is also very good, but chefs tend to overcook. Go rare if you like medium-rare etc.

Staff:

Staff are generally fine with the exception of a few. I won't name names, but 2 of the female serving staff are always grumpy, we used to take bets if she would slam the drinks down on the table or not!

The younger girls are much friendlier. And the guys are good too. Reception staff are always very friendly and helpful. As is the manager.

Car parking:

Parking is tight if you have a big car, there are more rooms than spaces, but you generally find a space ok.

I hope I've helped a little, 4 months here has let me give you all some tips which I hope will help someone.

Cheers all!

“great twixmas break”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 31 December 2011
1
person found this review helpful

just returned from the Park Hotel in Montrose where we had booked a 3 night break between
27th and 30th Dec. My husband and I could not praise this hotel highly enough.From the moment of arrival until our departure the staff were excellent in all areas. The menu for dinner and breakfast was varied with good choices in starters, main and desserts. The service was excellent in the dining room and food at all meals were cooked and presented to a high standard. Our room was large and airy and equipped with tea-making facilities. Towels in bathroom were lovely. Large bath sheets instead of the normal bath towels.
We would thoroughly recommend this hotel and wil certainly be back

“Smaller Portions For Seniors Would Be Great”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 25 October 2011
1
person found this review helpful

Food is reasonable and choice is as would be expected in this type of hotel, catering for both guests and visitors and older regulars. Portion size perfect for anyone with a healthy appetite, which is normally a big plus in my book.
The restaurant however could offer a great service to the older diners and regulars by offering a slightly smaller portion for elderly guests if requested.
We had asked the waitress (Who was excellent) if this was possible as Gran is 87 years of age, but just as she was writing the order in her pad a barman suddenlly appeared at her shoulder and gravely shook his head before informing us that we either had to have a full portion or could have a half portion but charged at a "FULL PORTION PRICE" Duhhhh !!
Needless to say we ordered the full portion and almost half was left at the end of the meal. What a waste of good food and a blunder for good customer relations.
