“It grew on use”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 24 August 2011

We realy liked our room, it was comfortable even though when we booked it the receptionist said it was small it had all we needed and was very comfortable. The bathroom was a bit small and when you sat on the toilet it felt as if it was moving. The trouser press did not appear to work so I thought it should have been taken out of the room. The bar area was very nice but no atmosphere. The breakfast room was also fine and we had no complaints about the breakfast at all.

I felt the back entrance which is off the car park good do with freshening up, tI put us off the place a bit as we walked in. The front entrance is fine.

At the top of the stairs was a basket of pot-pourri which gives a bad impression and also along the corridor leading to the bed-rooms dusty silk plants which either needed a wash or throwing out. The windows along the corridor had net curtains up to hide the view of the car-park and the back of the buildings, I think if they got rid of them and put some sort of frosting on the windows it would be much better.

The staff seemed a bit withdrawn at first but towards the end of our stay we warmed more to them. One member though would smoke at the front entrance, which looks bad.

I felt they could do a lot more with the place to bring in extra income. I would stay again if I could not find anywhere better.

Room Tip: Our room was at the front facing the road but not noisy

“Would recommend great service and food.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 25 July 2011

I was at this hotel last Sunday only for a meal with a coach party from my Church in Glasgow.My first visit to the hotel, and I would certainly recommend it. Food was served within 10 minutes piping hot.and as I am celiac I couldn't get the breaded fish but they gave me a lovely piece of grilled fish with chips and veg followed by a lovely dessert made specially for me, so thumbs up for the service and staff.

“Nice hotel”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 April 2011

Nice hotel. Staff friendly and efficient. Room was spacious and modern. Lots of tea, coffee and bottled water (a few more biscuits would have been nice). Breakfast was nice , plenty of toast. Hotel was close to town centre but little noise day or night. Would stay again.

“The right qualities but the wrong management”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 17 August 2010
1
person found this review helpful

Il keep this as simple as possible, the food is good for the price and is very reasonable, the rooms are spacious and clean no complaints here, the letdown is the management as a family run hotel i found the staff all doing double jobs fine when the hotel is quite not so good when busy and that's what it was when i stayed there where poor communication between them was a big let down not 1 could give me a straight answer always had to ask another and so forth very poor indeed.

This is the only hotel ware as a recident i found the bar shut at 1am, i have always managed to get a drink by at least by the night porter in other hotels but not in this one very disappointing to say the least they should make this clear when they take a booking.

To sum it up because of staff shortage it made a nice hotel a very poor one and needless to say i wont be going back and certainly Robert needs to go on a course on customer relationship ware his qualities are Zero on this subject.

“Where do I begin? The hotel is situated...”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 August 2010
2
people found this review helpful

Where do I begin? The hotel is situated in the town centre which is ideal. The rooms are clean and fresh with tv and adequate bath room. All the hard elements are there to have a decent hotel however I found the management to be rude, obnoxious and unwelcoming. 

On checking in we were never acknowledged by the receptionist (a lady with short hair who turned out to be one of the managers). " you sort them two out" was our welcome to the hotel. We were then showed to our rooms by a lovely lady who was also working on the bar at the event we were attending. If it wasn't for this lady I'm not sure how the hotel would still be operating. When we went down for dinner I asked the lady behind the bar (the manager with the short hair) what today's roast was she replied "I couldny tell ya" then shouted across the room to ask another staff member what the roast was. 

The food was nice apart from the potato skins it was literally the peelings of a potato and fried. Any time I've had loaded potato skins they are filled with cheese or something not the scraps of potato peelings. 

They were a few issues with rooms and bar opening times and I appreciate hotel policies etc but the way these issues were handled were absolutely shocking. To the point where the manager was shouting at my family and had to be told by another member of staff to calm down! 

On checking out I asked to speak to the manager to be told that the hotel doesn't have one and that it's family run. The manager from the previous night came up to apologise and I wanted to let him know how upset I was by our treatment. That conversation ended up in another argument in reception. 

So if you have issues don't expect them to be sorted out professionally and I will definitely not be recommending the hotel to friends and family.
