Pleasant Comfortable hotel.

Very pleasant stay in Moffat. The famous star has Very welcoming and friendly staff. My hotel room was comfortable and had plenty of space. The shower in my room took a little while to get hot, but it did warm up after a few minutes. (Although I know some other guests did have trouble getting hot water). I had dinner in the hotel which was very nice, and breakfast in the morning was plentiful, and hearty.

Not bad

Hotel was quirky and charming, room was fine and bed was comfortable enough. We weren’t able to get any hot water in the shower over the course of about 1.5 hours trying so that let down our experience a little.
