Reviews and Ratings
The hotel had a phenomenal breakfast with a spacious room featuring 2 king beds. The service was pleasant and friendly, with the only downside being the need to improve client perceptions. Location-wise, it was near the Outlet center and provided a comfy stay, although the room needed some maintenance. The dining experience offered ample choices, catering to special requirements. Facilities were good, with some areas needing improvement.
The hotel was a mixed experience with superb room comfort but disappointing overall cleanliness. The service was friendly with a hiccup, and the location was convenient for a stopover. The dining offered great variety but lacked in temperature. The facilities were nice, despite some upkeep issues.
The hotel has a modern and really nice location, close to the motorway and just over the road from the outlet center. The rooms were warm and cozy but could benefit from some modernization to match the standard of the downstairs areas. The service was great and the staff were friendly and always very helpful. The dining experience was excellent with a variety of hot and tasty options.
The hotel is conveniently located, making it easy to explore Gretna and ideal for a stopover on the way to the Highlands. The rooms, especially after the upgrade, provide a very spacious and comfortable stay, although the initial smaller size was a downside. The service was exceptional with a friendly and welcoming receptionist that accommodated my needs, from booking rooms to assisting with meals.
The hotel is nestled in a corner with rooms that were lovely, though the initial allocated one had a smoke smell. The service was very lovely and helpful, with some unexceptionable moments that might make you consider other options. The location is excellent, right next to Gretna Gateway shopping outlets. The dining experience varied from great with plenty of choices and hot options to a buffet style that was a bit disappointing. Overall, the facilities were decent, but with a couple of drawbacks to consider.
