Great location but a little tired.

Liked:The hotel is in a great location and offers secure parking at the rear.

Disliked:Our room was looking out to the rear of the property and it was quite overrun by pigeons. Facilities were a little tired and no wifi in the rooms.

Dated and Dirty

Liked:Location

Disliked:This room was so small we had to put our luggage on the bed to move around. The toilet would not flush even after multiple tries with each trip to the bathroom. There was no phone in the room to notify front desk the toilet did not work. One window of the 3 actually opened about a 1” crack at the top for cool air at night. Hands down one of the worst, rock hard, most uncomfortable beds I have ever slept in. The pillows were extremely thin and stacked together did not equal a regular hotel pillow. To top it off, there was thick black mold around the bathtub rim. This hotel was not only dated but dirty. 2 outlets, no ports, extremely slow and questionable elevator. This hotel is not a bargain, it was gross. Traveler be wary.

Probably one of the better places to stay in Sterling

Liked:It was right where would you would like to stay. The location is great the outer edifice is really cool and seems like it's spectacular. Then please see the didn't like comments. Beyond that I must say it seemed to be a sought after location people were trying to make bookings there and it was completely full. I'm sure it had rooms that had good views he can pay extra to be on the top floors to get good views well the good view I paid for was almost like looking in an industrial town I saw rooftops of adjoining buildings and smoke stacks it wasn't anything close to what looking out over the rest of the city from if you were in the front part of the hotel looking out. So that's a little bit of false advertisement. But I bet the front views are spectacular. All in all I would say this is on the good end of several of the hotels that I booked throughout touring the highlands of Scotland. It just wasn't stellar

Disliked:Then you go inside and you realize that everything is outdated. The staff is very nice and comfortable I guess they have a couple function rooms so they might be of the higher and of the area but tough to tell very small elevator and the rooms don't have air conditioning. Plus the parking that they have is GD free for all. They don't have marked parking spots they have people doing crazy anarchy things out back there and it's not paved or it seems like it's not feels like it's like a dirt back there kind of crazy anarchist free for all and it doesn't even allow you access from the parking lot into the hotel you got to walk all the way around the building to get to the front lobby again to either take all of the stairs or the ridiculously slow and small elevator.
