Really good stay

easy check-infriendly staffblackout curtains
Check-in was very easy, and the staff were friendly (i liked their kilts!). Dinner was really good, and breakfast offered many options. The blackout curtains in my room really helped me sleep well. The hotel was clean, stylish and spacious.
My room overlooked the car park, a little noisy.
