"I LOVE GLASGOW!!!!!! This was my first time visiting Scotland and my experience was incredible. This is a conveniently located hotel. The staff is wonderful here. The room was VERY CLEAN. I was traveling alone so it was the perfect size room for one or a couple. VERY QUIET and VERY SAFE. I will definitely stay here again when I return to Glasgow! What an AMAZING city. Thank you!!"

"This property was wonderful... and the staff, even better! Great location! Would certainly stay here again in the future. My only complaint would be that the room felt a bit warm. I searched the room for a thermostat or way to adjust the temperature, but found nothing. Maybe I just didn't know where to look... haha! But my husband and I were able to crack the window to let in some cooler air. Also, there was a fan provided in the room."
