Location was great being beside Perth racecourse which provided level walking and views of the river Tay. Catering was limited to a fairly basic breakfast, due to lack of a chef but Staff were superb and provied options for off site meals. Tracey on reception was very welcoming and helpful as was her colleague who's name I did not get. Hope to be back

At first glance it looks pretty plain basically a premier inn, but everything is just that little bit nicer. The breakfast is made to order, towels are a good size (not tiny like most hotels), the shower is also good with a wider, they give two suit case holders instead of one and the staff is unfailingly nice and polite.

The window in a ground floor room would not lock so it didn't feel safe. I appreciate that it appeared to be alarmed but with virtually no staff around how much help would that have been? No evening meal was available with no notice. Thankfully Google found me a good local place to eat. At the moment it is a quiet place to be, in the evening but with a new bypass being built right next to the hotel that may not last much longer

Covid stay
It was a difficult stay as the hotel was officially closed but opened up for what was in effect a private party for 7. With no staff available, apart from a very pleasant lady in the bar, the manager was too stretched to provide a hotel level of service. The standard of catering was below usual. However the Lodge was clean, modern, bright and perfectly comfortable with good parking in a nice setting at a very convenient location.

Response from Bob Coles on 30 May 2021
Hi Rodger, I would like to thank you for your review, however would point out that the hotel was in fact closed for bookings due to Covid 19. I explained this to Lee, the organiser of the booking, however, I, the General Manager, personally agreed that I would open a 26 bedroom hotel solely for your party of 7 golfers for 3 days/nights. Furthermore, I produced two menus which Lee agreed: day one, when you arrived, was a curry and day three, the finest Scottish steak, which I purchased from a quality local supplier. The bar person was brought in to look after your group's bar needs. Lee accepted that I was opening the hotel for you alone as a golf party but offering you the choice to find an alternative hotel with full hotel facilities. However he chose to accept my hotel with the constraints explained. I would point out that I, the General Manager, was never stretched as there was never a promise to offer a fully staffed hotel service. I solely catered for you, providing breakfast from 7am and anything you required at a time of your choice. On your second day you had your golf cancelled due to rain. I was called to see if I could provide the hotel service as you would not be playing. I made the bar person available and I personally remained in the hotel to look after you all; you chose not to come. I am unsure exactly what you expected Roger, having been given all the aforementioned constraints from Lee? You and your group of 7 had my personal attention for three full days. I could never offer the full hotel service you obviously thought you were coming to. I simply did what was agreed. Yours sincerely Bob Coles General Manager

Good value at the Perth Lodge Hotel
This hotel is a fantastic venue for doggie people. There is plenty of open space for the dogs to exercise. The rooms although on the small side are clean and beds are comfy. The dinner menu is limited but all dishes sampled were excellent and good value. The Full Scottish breakfast was fresh cooked and tasty. The whole experience lived up to expectations Well done everyone at the Lodge.
