Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is a decent choice for a short stay, but not recommended for those planning to spend much time in the rooms. The beds are clean, well-furnished, and very comfortable, though I encountered some issues with water leakage. The location is convenient, within walking distance to the town center and local attractions like The Kelpies and the Falkirk Wheel.
I found the hotel to be quite overpriced for what it offered, with very basic rooms, but the shower made up for it with great water pressure and warmth. The service was a mix of helpful and delayed due to overworked staff. The location was perfect for attending events nearby, but noise from the maids' area was a downside. The dining experience varied from good to diabolical, depending on the day.
I had a wonderful stay at this hotel! The rooms were really nice and clean, with a lovely view of Dollar Park. The bed and bedding were top-notch, the bathroom was spacious and well-appointed with nice white towels. My only small gripe is that a mini fridge in the room would have been great to keep drinks cold since the room tended to get warm with the heating on. Overall, the modern decor and art pieces added a nice touch to the classic features.
My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The room was pleasant and clean, but lacking natural light and fresh air. The service was efficient, but some staff seemed in a hurry. The location was convenient for sightseeing but had mixed breakfast options. The dining experience was basic, and the facilities were fairly nice.
Staying at the hotel was convenient due to its central location for both the Kelpies and Falkirk Wheel visits. The room temperature was a bit too warm for my liking compared to other hotels at a similar price range. The service was appropriate, especially considering I was in town for a training course. However, the morning noise in the restaurant was a downside.
The hotel has a nice and modern style but overlooks the car park and entrance, where noise can be quite loud late at night due to smokers, drinkers, and taxis. It's used for functions, which adds to the activity around the area. After a full day enjoying the warm sun, the overall experience was pleasant.
