older stylepleasant staffgood room sizehot water
The building maintains an older style that I found appealing. Staff offered consistently pleasant service . My room had a good size and the bathroom was spacious. There was blistering hot water as typical in scotland.
I noticed that the check-in time was very strict, and the front desk representative was quite curt about it.
