surprisingly solid stay

convenient locationevents centeron-site parkingsimplified logistics
I found the location to be convenient for visiting kelvingrove park and the art museum. It's a short distance away. several restaurants are nearby, and the events center is within walking distance. This made the area quite accessible. on-site parking was available, and i appreciated that it simplified logistics a lot.
the room i booked was situated in the basement, and upon entering, i couldn't help but notice some dampness on the wall.

friendly staffsuper clean roomupdated bathroom
The staff was friendly and accommodated me by holding my luggage before check-in. I appreciated this kindness. The room was super clean and included a newly updated bathroom. It has everything I needed.
The room showed slight wear. Certain spots needed a bit more care, a really minor thing.

the staff was amiable and helpful. the location was good for local pubs and places to eat. the room was clean and spacious enough for my needs for a short overnight stay. the bed were comfortable. breakfast was across the road, accessible and no hassle at all.
I missed soap and shower gel in the room. i asked for the refill of these on my way to the city but upon return only hand soaps were brought. Shower gel was missing. the receptionist then brought a plastic milk bottle filled with shower gel to refill around 11:30 pm.
