Andrew, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Overall it was a great location. However the bottom of the shower was covered mildew so made it smell. The bar had a great drink selection with wonderful staff. If the mildew wasn’t an issue, I’d give this hotel a 10 out of 10.

Great stay

Our room was on 9th floor and had a great view. There was not a towel warmer nor self laundry on site. They were able to store our luggage while we took a 2 day Highland tour. We were returning for another two nights.
