“The hotel presents a mixed picture; public spaces fare better than the dated rooms, though staff consistently earn high praise. It stands out with Elgin's largest private gym and leisure club, alongside family-friendly amenities and a dog-friendly policy. While some rooms provide spacious comfort, the overall impression suggests uneven upkeep.”
