great amenities complimentary drink scottish breakfast easy access
The room included great amenities. I appreciated the complimentary drink at the bar upon arrival. The Scottish breakfast set me up for exploring each day. It was AMAZING!!! I found the location convenient, with easy access to bus routes into the city centre.
The shampoo and shower gel bottles in the bathroom were, unfortunately, empty upon arrival.
