Place was not as advertised for anything short of an expensive quickie. Pictures are alluring. Rooms are so small that we had to walk on our baggage to get around. Beds definitely not queens. Thought it would be entertaining so we booked for two nights at the end of a Scotland trip. Checked out early the next morning and were told we would be contacted by 'the office manager" for a refund for the second night. Still waiting. Stay away unless you enjoy tight quarters with dark stained walls and fabrics. The people before you might have left some souvenirs.

Overall a pleasant visit. The bed size is painfully small, which is the only issue.

This was the most unique hotel experience. They left a beautiful note for us. The room was small, but we focused on the experience of it and how uniquely decorated it was. We really enjoyed our time there and even the halls were an experience to walk through. The lobby was just perfect with its fun decor.
