Excellent Stay, Homey Feel and Great Service

lovely welcome useful suggestions convenient location
The reception staff provided a lovely welcome. Kevin offered useful suggestions for nearby dinners. The location was convenient for accessing the city center (it's about a 20-minute walk to Sauchiehall Street).
The shower doors did not meet properly, causing water to leak. This is an easy fix that would improve the bathroom greatly.
