The hotel, though needing a lick of paint and a freshen up in the rooms, was exceptionally hot during my stay, making it uncomfortable. The location, however, on the banks of the Clyde, was simply stunning, despite not having time for sightseeing. The dining experience was casual, with a vague staff member about the menu, and the breakfast felt slightly rushed. The hotel provides pet amenities, which is a nice addition.

The rooms could do with a lick of paint, were tired, and not up to the standard we would expect, but were exceptionally hot to the point of uncomfortable.

The dining experience was laid on after time, and the breakfast at 9 am felt too early to stop. The staff member was rather vague about available options.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms were fine and offered great value compared to other options, but they could use some upgrades, especially regarding the dampness and warmth in certain areas. The service was good, and I appreciated the availability of pet amenities. The location, while needing a revamp, was ideal for my needs, being situated by the Loch, although the views were not visible from all rooms. Dining was hit or miss - the meals were rich and tasty on one day but lacked quality on another. The hotel facilities were decent, but some areas like the breakfast space needed attention.

I stayed at the hotel with my family and our dog, and overall, it was a mixed experience. The rooms, although clean and spacious, felt dark and could use some improvement. The service was friendly, and the pet amenities were a nice touch. The location was great for exploring the surroundings, but the hotel itself needs a revamp. The dining experience was a bit inconsistent, with some aspects being lovely while others lacking. However, the overall value for money was decent, catering to our needs as dog-friendly guests.
