This hotel needs upgrades. The tub faucet had rust around it, the sheets were yellowed, the door jam had been gouged and not repaired, only painted over. Went down for the breakfast buffet stay 9am, all the fried eggs were gone and the rest was barely lukewarm.

The hotel is in an excellent location to see Stirling Castle and it is walkable to the city center for multiple dining options. The staff were all lovely and helpful. The buffet breakfast was very complete with multiple options and was tasty. The building itself is very old - which is fine, I have no problem with historic buildings. It’s more that the furnishings, etc are worn and outdated. We had “family room” with 1 queen and a set of bunk beds. The sheet on the bunkbed did not stay in place so I had a horrible night’s sleep fighting with it all night. Also, the bunk above had a black tarp between the bottom of the mattress and the frame. This seemed concerning - what are they trying to prevent from leaking through the top bunk?? It was strange. The room was incredibly hot in early Sept. There was no AC - only windows, which should be fine in Sept but they had cords on them that only allowed them to be opened a few inches. It did little to cool the room off. This would be a really nice hotel if they did some upgrades to the interior. Overall an awful value for the money spent. Disappointing.
