“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.”

The walls seemed paper thin. I could hear my neighbor watching something on their phone at 2 in the morning. breakfast was not great. the scrambled eggs were cold and hard. They were also discolored from sitting out too long.

Jake upgraded me to an executive suite.. I loved it there. Breakfast was very good. The egg benedict was the best I've ever tasted.
The hotel has a small TV in the room. The bathroom really needs an upgrade too. It seems quite shabby.
