The location was super central. I loved that! The tram from the airport practically stops at the doorstep, what easy with luggage. The staff was friendly. Chelsea checked me in and was an absolute star. I also really appreciated the complimentary Irn-Bru and Tunnock's teacakes. Such a nice touch!
The mini bar selection was slightly limited..

the bathroom was not properly cleaned on check in. a member of staff did come to clean it, but then used the same hand towel to clean both the toilet and the sink. i could hear every sound in the corridor, including the cleaners slamming their cupboard every 10 minutes.
