Acceptable Stay
friendly staff comfortable bed street noise missing lamps
The staff were very friendly and helpful! I arrived after a long day and was greeted with a voucher for a complimentary drink at the bar. The room was clean, and the bed was comfortable. Ear plugs were available for the seagulls at dawn.
There was a lot of noise in the street until late. Earplugs were available in the room. they did not make the situation much better. I think the windows need soundproofing. There were no bedside lamps in my room.

excellent stay with attentive service
complimentary drink scottish breakfast smart tv central location
i received a complimentary drink at the bar, which i found a lovely touch. the scottish breakfast included tasty tattie cakes and met my expectations perfectly. the smart tv offered access to netflix and youtube, a great addition for relaxation. the location was central, with access to town amenities.
i noticed the carpets looked a little untidy with some visible dust, which could be improved with better vacuuming.
