Ryan, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

The breakfast was not free as you say in your review site. I had to pay extra for it. It was however worth it: Anywhere that serves Vegetarian haggis always gains for me. I have to highlight one major egregious point about the hotel: The 'optional' service charge of 12%. This was disgusting, and to have a line that says "if you are unhappy with the staff and wish the charge removed, please ask" is just obscene. To guilt you into paying extra for something you've already paid for? Not good enough. The hotel was fantastic, but that one line ruined it for me. I'm giving 4 stars for the overall stay as everything else was good, but that one item, not good enough. Oh, and the food is mislabelled: fish are not vegetarian friendly.
Kieran, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Room was just clean enough. Dirty shower grout and filthy baseboards.
