I found the staff very helpful. They really went the extra mile. my room was clean and well-kept. i liked the complimentary vegan scottish breakfast, a pleasant surprise! strathclyde country park is also a short walk away.

the windows in my room didn't fully open for ventilation. that was a bit inconvenient, especially since the room could get stuffy.
