    "Excellent value " (108036994)

    Refurbishment has catapaulted the hotel up in my estimation and it can hold its own with many much higher regarded hotels in Glasgow, most of which I stay in during the course of a year.

    Limited menu

    "Good - we were travelling relatively early in the morning and needed a place to stop overnight" (108088898)

    Very good value for money. Room very comfortable

    Menu very restricted to fast foods. Not very impressed

    "The hotel is fine, practical and comfortable for an overnight transit or business stay." (97210566)

    It was easy to find, easy to park and provided exactly what we had booked. It did 'what it said on the tin' so to speak.

    It was fine for a 'transit' stay...it does not profess to be a hotel for views and enjoyment, so there was nothing to dislike.

    "Wording of location of hotel with regards to Glasgow Airport terminals a little misleading. It states that access is by a 'covered walkway'. This is strictly true but it makes the reader assume that the hotel is linked to the terminal building. The walkway is a semi-covered path between the hire car lot and some office buildings, with 2 small access roads to cross. You still have to go outside and could get wet if it was raining heavily." (97438901)

    Bathroom facility well designed and attractive. Staff friendly and helpful.

    The proximity to the airport, the early availability of breakfast and the quiet clean well-equipped room.

    The evening dinner could be improved upon..the ribs and the steak were tough

    Building work being done, so only a replacement bar. Feeble breakfast. Would have preferred a lower price while building work was on.

    Convenience to the airport and motorways

    Breakfasts could have few more options.

    "I knew what to expect because I stayed at this motel once before when you first opened. Because of the convenience to the airport it was ideal for my wants. It meant I didn't have to get a cab or worry about getting to the airport early enough. You are very well placed." (97337456)

    It was quiet. The people at the registration desk were pleasant and friendly

    I didn't especially care for my dinner. But perhaps I just made a bad choice.

    "Hotel seemed to be well run and clean; staff were helpful and friendly; continental breakfast was excellent for someone in a hurry." (99782714)

    Perfectly comfortable room with all the amenities for an overnight stay.

    Entry to car park was confusing especially if you are being dropped off by friends who want to come in with you - the sign about taking ticket to open the barrier and then getting a token to leave should be clearer/bigger.

    The availability of a designated smoking room was excellent and overall the stay with the hotel was uneventfull which is exactly how it should be.

    "Excellent location - just a few minutes walk from checking out of the hotel to check-in at Glasgow International, via covered walkway. Substantial buffet breakfast available from 4am ties in well with early check-in. Very clever design of en-suite door enabling toilet to be shut off and used whilst other person is in the shower. Very friendly and helpful staff." (99775739)

    It was quiet in the rooms in spite of its proximity to the airport. Being able to take buffet breakfast from 4am.

    "Slight gripe, but having failed to get a meal at the airport at 9:00 pm I went back to eat at the hotel. That restaurant closes at 9:00 too. It does seem early. Checkin staff fine. Breakfast from 4:00 am a boon for those of us with early flights. Checkin commented that I had got a great rate." (99361022)

    "As it it close to the airport guests dont seem to care about other guests. When we complained about children running unsupervised in the corridors we were asked if we had an early flight to catch." (99637247)

    That breakfast was included and the room was non smoking

    20 children runnig about unsupervised in the corridors until well after midnight. The hotel staff did not seem to care about ours and the other guests who complained welfare. An extra five pounds per night to park your car from the last time we stayed at this hotel.

    "The hotel served the purpose excellently. It is a pity that wheeling the trolley from the airport is so difficult but this is not the fault of the hotel. There are humps and bumps and badly maintained pathways - the stippling for those with sight problems is excellent for them but a pain for everyone else. The availability and standard of the breakfast is very good. More discipline is required in dealing with selfish customers who bring trolleys into the dining room. There was a distinct shortage of staff on the Sunday night with the girls trying to cope (quite well) in the bar, on reception and in the restaurant." (99139805)

    Large bed. Opening window and easy to use electric heating. Pleasant bathroom but soap container empty.

    Close to airport and only mintues away form city centre by cab..but staff were very quick to check us in and that was great because afeter travelling it was good not to wait around...

    Our pull out couch was broken so we just put the cushions on the floor to sleep...

    "There were no directions from the airport...we ended up up walking a long way through carparks and not getting very far. One pillow is insufficient and led to an uncomfortable night. Bedding was in poor condition with holes in the quilt cover." (3305047416)

    convenience for the airport the next morning. Breakfast available early as we had an early morning flight to catch. Large bed.

    Although smoking ban has been in place for some time, our room still smelt strongly of smoke (however was very clean)

    bedding ie. quilt and pillows very gruby also didn't feel at all clean or fresh and that was the non smoking room.

    "I asked for a twin room and it was a double bed all be it a large one and as I said before a bath would have been nice but as it was only for an overnight stay at the airport before an early morning flight it was adequate enough for our purposes." (3304260895)

    Clean,tidy rooms with adequate facilities

    There was only a shower and no bath which was disappointing

    "The hotel does not appear to be signposted from the airport. Arriving after 11pm after a long delay, it would have been nice to access the hotel immediately. Breakfast is self service. On more than one occasion things had run out, there was no coffee,fruit or milk readily available. Crockery was not always clean, one morning the first two mugs I picked up had not been washed properly. Bread was stale each morning. On the final day there were chips which had been dropped and left under the tables at breakfast. In my room towels were not always changed despite being left on the floor (one day I had no bathmat so used a small towel, which was then replaced by houeskeeping on the towel rail). The food at dinner was expensive and very poor quality, and tasted like it had been cooked for a long time and reheated. Vegetables were overcooked. The staff were, in the main, friendly and helpful, though they all seemed to be multitasking. I asked for an extra blanket and had to ask three times before one materialised. I have used Travel Inn/Premier Lodge/ Travel Lodge many times before and experienced a much higher standard at a much cheaper rate." (3304170893)

    Clean room,comfortable bed.

    Casual cup of coffee [self service] was expensive at 2.50. Would have liked Radio 4 on selector to listen to the Archers!

    "I have never stayed at any accommodation when my request for an additional pillow was not accommodated. I found it hard to believe that in an operation of this size, 2 extra pillows could not be obtained. It felt like laziness rsather than lack of pillows. The breakfsast was disappointing - lack of good fruit and general set up was clumsy. Re question below I would encourage people to explore other hotels if there are any in as close in proximity" (3007859)

    "Reason for booking this particular hotel was due to its proximity to Glasgow Airport and to the drop off point for the rental car. It worked out very well. For dinner that night, staff were able to recommend a place in near by Paisley." (2630581)

    Most of all, the fact that the room was maintained as smoke free. Although we had arrived quite early before check in time, the staff accommodated us as swiftly as possible with a room as it became available. Thought the design of the bathhroom super.
