I had some worries at first about the "online" check-in because I would arrive by night and I have no smart phone. But everything was OK : I just rang at the door, in fact the taxi driver did it. I couldn't have an opinion about the "free breakfast" because it was not free (but OK).

Perfect Short Break Hotel

Another fantastic stay at this hotel. We've stayed here a few times now when we've had early travel plans from the bus or train stations in Glasgow. The rooms are comfortable, surprisingly spacious, and spotlessly clean. Breakfast is included and has all the usual staples you'd expect from a breakfast buffet. We also had time to relax in the bar area, which is comfortable and well-stocked, and affords a good bit of people-watching from the big glass windows! Ever member of staff we encountered was friendly and welcoming and we had excellent service throughout our stay. The location is perfect if you're planning to explore Glasgow city centre.

Not bad considering it is a franchisee hotel

It’s a franchisee hotel. The rooms appear new. The real disappointment was the TV. When I checked in I was able to use the smart features on the TV and stream Youtube from my phone to the TV. But after going out for dinner and coming back the TV would not connect to WiFi. And the next whole day, maintenance struggled trying to get the smart features working back. At the end saying it is not available on TVs in other room so I don’t know how it was working in your room.
