Is old style but doable for the price away from Glasgow in Dumbarton if you rent a car then its a clean and feasible option. Its just not a typical hotel style look and feel but no cons as such either.

Enjoyable overnight stay

The building looks very dated from the outside and some further refurbishment of the rooms is needed but overall it's a great place to stay. Easy parking, very friendly staff, comfortable rooms and modern bathroom. Evening meal was lovely as was breakfast. Would recommend and would return.

It has everything someone might want, but it is dated and unremarkable. Adequate for a short, no-frills stay. Very helpful staff and lots of parking space.

We stayed for access to Glasgow airport, the family room was ideal for us as it fit all 5 of us in comfortably where other hotels were requiring us to book 2 rooms. Easy access to the airport in the morning of around 15/20 minutes. We ate in the restaurant and found the food very nice also

Great location; ample parking, including two EV chargers; wonderful staff; fantastic restaurant, and lounge attached; the rooms are spacious and well maintained… The only small, constructive criticism I could give is possibly putting mattress toppers on the beds, as I found them to be a bit hard. Otherwise a fantastic stay! I would definitely recommend!
