First off a big Thank You to Lynne Burnaston who sorted out 14th and 16th floor rooms for us with stunning views along the Clyde. This is the primary feature of this hotel.
The rooms are very nicely presented and very comfortable both for work and just relaxing.
We arrived early (12midday), but were given rooms straight away. Showing up early is one thing, but I didn't feel at all sorry for the moaning couple who tried to check in at 8 the next morning!! Reception dealt with them very well.
We had lunch there, but I was very disappointed with it. My expectations should have been lower, but if I really wanted an over-grilled pre-frozen lamb burger served with a piece of naan out of a 99p packet of 2, some cold fries and a token salad, I would have gone to a greasy spoon and paid £2 for it rather than the £7.95 I did... Moral is, if you want to eat, go elsewhere. Like the "Arches"...much nicer and cheaper!
Otherwise, £85 B&B seemed pretty good value. I didn't have breakfast, but the queue was 8/9 people long as there quite obviously wasn't enough staff on to serve and seat at the same tim.

Thankyou for your feedback. I was very pleased to learn that Lynn was able to assist you with arranging rooms on the higher floors so as you could enjoy the magnificent views.
With regard to your comment regarding the lamb burger on our lounge menu, please be assured that they are not bought in or frozen but made in house by our own chefs. We will however take your views into consideration during our next menu review which is scheduled to take place shortly.
Also I am sorry that there was a small queue of 8-9 people at breakfast. This sometimes happens particularly at peak times when the hotel is very busy.
I hope you will not be deterred from visiting again in the not too distant future.
