We booked this break from the Entertainment break section of the Easy Break website.
This was half board with an evening of entertainment [Take That tribute band].
The hotel itself looks very "sixties" concrete and very drab, however inside it was spacious and pleasant.
We were checked in efficiently. The room was very compact. It appeared to have been refurbished and was nicely presented and decorated.
It is close to the airport and is used as a park and stay but I was not bothered by any aircraft noise or any noisy guests!
The evening entertainment was a very fun event. Hundreds of women [hen nights/birthdays etc] and a few men!
The meal was three courses with no choice but the food was hot and served quickly.
We had a really good time.
Breakfast next morning was very efficient with a good selection of buffet items which were always topped up.
Once we checked out we asked about the sister hotel leisure facilities. We were given a voucher which we took the Erskine Bridge hotel where we were able to use the pool, sauna, steam room and spa bath. All this for £39...nothing to complain about... looking forward to the next time. Great for a "girl’s weekend away".

Not a hotel to use for a holiday. It is ok for a night before a flight. Hotel is clean and undergoing some refurbishment. It is near the airport but I had a peaceful night with only two flights coming in that I heard.
Its bad points were the serving of food and drinks. There were two bar staff who really did not seem to know what they were doing and were very slow. Had to wait half an hour to get served a drink and there were only about 6 people at the bar in front of me.
The food was good enough but again you had to wait a bit for it. At breakfast a smile or good morning from waiting staff would be nice. On checkout the reception staff again could do with lessons on being pleasant and smile. I was overcharged and when I pointed it out it took a while to sort out. I was on a dinner bed and breakfast rate, which it stated on the print out but they tried to charge for my evening meal. This also happened to my friend who had problems trying to explain to the polish staff member why she had been overcharged.

A lovely hotel close the Glasgow Airport. The double room we got was very small as we were travelling we had large suitcases, so we had to open them on the bed because there was such a shortage of space.
The room itself was clean with lovely decor it had a warm and cosy feeling.
The night wasn't quiet as they have live entertainment and the rooms aren't as soundproof as we have liked. The reason we choose it was that we got free parking throughout our holiday and a free bus to and from the Airport which was convenient.
I wouldn't use this hotel if I was staying more long term, but for a night it was a lovely hotel and the staff are helpful too.

I have used this hotel on a number of occasions over the years as my mother lives nearby and I use it when visiting her. The Hotel is definitely caught in a time warp and is showing its age. Some of its rooms are looking a bit on the tatty side.
However, on the plus side, you can usually get very good deals there. I can usually get a room for about fifty odd pounds with full buffet Scottish breakfast included; featuring of course such Scottish delicacies as black pudding, square slice, and tattie scones.
The restaurant has delusions of grandeur a wee bit in the evening when the food tends to be ok but a bit overpriced for what you get. A word of warning; the small bar attracts a fair number of locals and you do NOT want to be in there when a Rangers or Celtic European match is being featured on the TV.
Although close to the airport I have never been bothered by noise. The hotel is ideally placed for day trips with good motorway connections only minutes away. You can reach Loch Lomond in about 30 minutes, the Clyde Coast likewise and Edinburgh is probably about 60 minutes away.
You get what you pay for with this hotel. I wouldn't recommend it for a holiday but it is ok to crash out for one or two nights.
