Guest Ratings & Reviews
The hotel has a mixed experience. The rooms have an unpleasant smell of cigarette smoke and need refurbishment, making it challenging to use the bed comfortably; however, the staff is friendly. The location is convenient for exploring Perthshire, but the surroundings may not be the most appealing. The dining options are limited to continental breakfast, and the facilities seem outdated.
My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were spacious, comfortable, and well-equipped, but in dire need of an update and not well-maintained. The service was exceptional, with friendly and helpful staff, but the dining options were not up to par. The location was convenient and welcoming, despite some cleanliness issues. Overall, a decent stay with room for improvement.
The hotel had really clean rooms with twin beds, which was great in many ways. However, our check-in was delayed until the afternoon, and the room felt dusty and stuffy. The service was fantastic; the staff were very professional and helpful, with fast WiFi and delicious food. The location was excellent for the 80s rewind event I attended, offering friendly staff who even allowed us to check in early. The dining experience, though lacking hot food options, was reasonable and freshly cooked. The facilities met our needs. The price was good, especially given the great service.
The hotel had a few drawbacks like musty rooms with small insects in the bathroom and a dated appearance, but it offered a spacious bed. On the positive side, the service was excellent with a bit of disorganization and the location, while a bit away from the city center, was good for attending a special event. The dining experience was basic and disappointing with limited options and no fresh items.
The hotel had great rooms that were comfortable and clean. The service was friendly and accommodating. However, the location was a bit off, and the dining experience left something to be desired. The facilities were adequate for a pleasant stay.
The hotel offered a mixed experience with some positives and negatives. While the rooms were under new ownership and had some issues like a malfunctioning sliding bathroom door and limited TV channels, the absence of heating was also a drawback. On the positive side, the staff was friendly and helpful. The location was a bit confused with an American Diner theme but was conveniently close to the city center. The dining experience had its ups and downs, with a nice conservatory setting but lacking in choices.
The hotel room was old-fashioned and not soundproof as advertised, but the fantastic service from a staff member saved our stay. The hotel's location was great, though there were concerns regarding room cleanliness. A tasty dining experience, but with room for improvement in portion sizes. Overall, a mixed experience.
