“worn out hotel”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 February 2012

stayed in hotel on 28th jan and on arrival it reminded me of a worn out blackpool b & b. had booked a double room but on arrival we were told there were no double rooms left so we were given a twin room....bathroom was very worn, shower a trickle, bedside lamps with no bulb in 1, telephone with no plug point and room was freezing, holes kicked in doors..my husband had to go to bed as he had a migraine so i went shopping and on return 2 hrs later he hadn't managed to heat up despite being in bed with clothes on. i went to reception and explained about cold and asked to be moved, which they never questioned and got moved to a...guess??..double room...can't fault staff, breakfast was ok but a big draughty, noisy, shabby building...spent the night @ loch lomond the previous week and hotel was luxury for £5 more...sorry but won't return..i

“Needs a facelift”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 4 January 2012

Old hotel - needs some TLC. Stains on carpets in main areas and rooms. Room 111 Window didn't shut properly and made lots of noise in wind. Didn't bother trying the all inclusive beakfast as wanted to leave as soon as possible.

“beware beware”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 November 2011

Hotel is very tired and in places the carpets are worn. The room was very hot and the windowns didnt open. Rooms are only up to workmens standards. My family had to sit with work men in dirty jeans and boots in the bar. the exterior of the building is shoddy and needs alot of work. Breakfast was a buffett and all the items were either over cooked or just inedible.. I wouldnt recommend this hotel ever not even builders..

Room Tip: Dont stay here

“Reasonable Overnight Stay”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 October 2011

Made a late booking and opted for an upgraded room for £55 B&B which is all of £5 more than the standard rate - for this we were given a massive bedroom with a large very comfy bed, very spacious work area with desk and free wifi and a sofa to watch TV - yes the floor creaked a little in places but it is an old building and I understand that creaking floors can be very expensive to repair - the only downsides to the room were that the bathroom really does need updating/refurbishing and the street noise from so called revellers - we had no problem with cleanliness as everything was in good order
The breakfast, as far as it went, was good but the choice was quite limited compared to most buffets in that the cold offering was really only fruit juice, tinned fruit or small packs of cereal whilst the hot was restricted to bacon, sausages,fried eggs. baked beans, mushrooms and tinned tomatoes
Agreed that thehotel does need refurbished in places especially the worn frayed carpets in the public areas but at least we found it to be clean
Must also mention the free parking in the hotels own private car park
Overall not a bad stay at the price for 2 adults and a dog (no charge for dog)
We would use again

Room Tip: At weekends especially pleae avoid rooms at the front - noisy!
