The hotel offers spacious rooms with unique sea kelp toiletries, although some are a little dated and lack ironing amenities. The comfort is good, but noise from surrounding areas can be disruptive at times. Service is exceptional with friendly and welcoming staff, though the location may require a bit of walking to certain attractions. Dining experiences vary from excellent dishes to some disappointments. Overall, a mixed but pleasant stay with great staff and interesting room amenities.
My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The rooms were clean and well-presented, although a bit small with an overpowering smell of cigarette smoke throughout. The service was very friendly and helpful, but there were some issues with communication. The location was convenient, close to main attractions, but had a slight impact on service quality. The dining experience left much to be desired, with poor quality food and limited options. Overall, a mixed experience with some positive and negative aspects to consider.
The hotel had some positives like friendly service and a convenient location, but the rooms were a bit cramped and didn't have windows. The dining experience was chaotic with poor food quality. However, the hotel's overall cleanliness and security were commendable.
The hotel is conveniently located on the main street of Linlithgow, just 20 minutes from the airport. The rooms, though small, are presented well and clean. The staff were friendly and accommodating, making it a pleasant stay despite some delays during check-in. The dining experience varied from poor to excellent, with a range of options available for breakfast. Overall, a decent hotel with some room for improvement.
