It has a creche and a play area with soft play area which can be hired for kids birthday parties. Staff here are very good at keeping the kids entertained! It doesnt have a swimming pool, which is a pity and I think it would really benefit from a cafe rather than the vending machines which are all that is available for refreshments.

There's a big car park on both sides, and a cavernous atrium area running right through the building, with a central cafe bit. Corridors run off to both sides to the various screens. These places are all much of a muchness nowadays, and this was no exception. I would have liked a bit more polished presentation of the actual film - whatever happened to fading the house lights, hmmm? Things could get confusing as it would be easy to take a wrong turn when you come out of the cinema into the atrium as it looks the same both ways, so you could find yourself in the wrong car park.

For an overnight stay, it did the trick. We're back in Scotland and heading to another town early…read moremorning. So it would be easier to just stay next door. It's one the hotel that's right across from airport. A couple minutes walk through the parking lot and you're at the front steps of hotel. Check in was pretty easy. It's three floors and only two elevators. While only one was operating. It's quite small even though it has a minimum limit of people, there was no way that it seemed legit . So it was always a wait trying to get on. The room was decent, but really cold when we checked in. We got inside after 10pm so after being freezing outside, it was a shock entering the cold room. Restroom is pretty decent in size with a stand in shower. If you don't know, there's no outlet allowed in the uk bathrooms which is a common thing. Only thing available was for the shavers. Iron and ironing board, blow dryer also available. There's a small seating area next to bed. Bed, it's probably a full size which was comfortable. Outlets were on the side of the headboard with the adjustable light. The room itself was ok. You also needed your key card to operate the room. To warm up the room, we left one of the key in while we went down to the lobby for a drink. There's a bar next to front desk which operated late. We did wanted some food but only limited items available for late night dining. Your basic pizzas and some sandwiches were available. I believe it's a full bar but we just stuck to beers. Food wise, ended up ordering a margarita pizza and bbq chicken toasties sandwich. Pizza was ok but it didn't have the basil as it should. Toasties were ok as well and served with some potatoes chips. Service was ok, even though they asked if we wanted anything else, they never brought it. The silverware and extra sauces that they offered but never brought. The hotel offers continental breakfast with our stay until 9:30am. You have your traditional Scottish breakfast with bacon, scrambled eggs, sausage, fried tomatoes, baked beans, hash browns and different breads and pastries. Granola, fruits and cereal also available. Full coffee machine and tea but their juices were so watered down. Orange juice and apple was like drinking water with flavors. The food selection was good with a lot to choose from. It was good as it comes with the stay. Overall, it was nice. Easy walk over from the airport. Bar and restaurant inside. Downfall, only one elevator working. There was also a vending machine for all your essential if you forgot them.

I just stayed at this hotel on June 25 due to an early 7am flight the next morning. What a BIG…read moremistake. They are very family unfriendly and the hotel staff was extremely rude during our stay. After a very long day that included a delay due to a flat tire, we arrived late at night. While my wife went to check in and I and my 2 daughters returned the rental car and carried the luggage back. After getting into the room we discovered that the 2nd bed in the room was actually a very small pull out sofa bed that had no sheets. When I went to the front desk to request them, the lady there told me that we only had 2 people on our hotels.com reservation and that we were not 'authorized' for more than that in the room and that my 2 daughters must immediately leave the premises and find other lodging for the night unless I pay them $180GB ($220 USD) on the spot for the 2 additional guests in the room. It was midnight at the time and we had to leave to check into our flight in 5 hrs. I went back to the room and a short time later she was banging on our door demanding the money or for 2 people to leave the room. Regrettably I had to pay (now up to over $450 USD for one night) due to lack of time to find alternative lodging. But it would have been much cheaper to stay in town and use UBER than to stay at this hotel. After paying I overheard them talking about 'freeloading Americans' due to my only putting 2 people in the hotels.com reservation instead of saying it was a family of 4 and it seems (after looking into it later) that this hotel charges by the occupant, not by the room. If she had just politely explained things I am sure something could have been worked out.
