the location was acceptable. free parking was available at the rear of the hotel.
the breakfast was a let down. items were hard and cold at a cost of 15 pounds. the scrambled egg was barely passable and the toast was similarly disappointing.

The room included an iron and ironing board. That was useful. the provision of shampoo and other toiletries saved me from having to pack them. the fan in the room was a thoughtful touch, given the warm weather! the big walk-in shower was also a plus.

I found the staff to be friendly and accommodating upon my early arrival. The lady at reception secured a ready room for me. The room had modern features and a big bed. Tea, coffee, tunnocks tea cakes, and bottled water were available.
The bathroom radiator operated on a timer, and its button was hidden behind the luggage rack.

I found free parking behind the hotel very convenient. The room was clean and modern with a comfortable, firm bed. The tea, coffee, and hot chocolate making facilities were good. The bar was well stocked with various beverages.
The road outside was quite busy and a little noisy. Perhaps a room at the back would have been quieter.
