Decent Location, Dated Rooms
small bathroom weak shower
The location was good. It made getting around fairly easy.
My room felt pretty outdated. The bathroom was small. The shower pressure was annoyingly weak. I also found the TV kept restarting itself (just what I needed after a long day).

Really good service and convenient location
friendly staff early access super clean room adjustable heat
I found the staff friendly and helpful . I also appreciated early access to my room after arriving from the ferry in Aberdeen. The room was spotlessly clean and well kept. I enjoyed having the ability to adjust the heat in the room to my preference.
The dinner menu remained unchanged , a little disappointing.
