Great little property, great location, great staff, clean room. Traveled here from the US and was pretty tired, but staff made me feel like $1 million bucks. Highly recommend.

Excellent and friendly service at arrival. The property was very clean and the rooms/bathroom very roomy for the narrow property. Well appointed toiletry items and coffee/snacks. Loved that parking was pretty easy and free in town (we parked right in front of the hotel). Didn't have time to have a bite or pint in the bar, but will next time!

Very pleasant stay in Moffat. The famous star has Very welcoming and friendly staff. My hotel room was comfortable and had plenty of space. The shower in my room took a little while to get hot, but it did warm up after a few minutes. (Although I know some other guests did have trouble getting hot water).
I had dinner in the hotel which was very nice, and breakfast in the morning was plentiful, and hearty.
