Staff were great, really friendly. Room was on the small side but we were only staying for one night so not a big deal. Could do with a black-out blind on the large bay window, but outside was quiet, apart from some other residents deciding to hold a meeting on the shared landing at 3am. Great location for SECC and OVO Hydro, fantastic restaurants nearby. Breakfast was good, lots of choice, need bigger coffee mugs!
