Hotel is in need of a renovation. Rooms were clean and neat but all quite old furnishings, tired beds and pillows. Bathroom didn't even have an exhaust fan, and the ceiling was peeling. Condition is generally ok, but definitely not modern.
Buffet breakfast not bad, with someone serving you. Coffee was filtered coffee. Breakfast area and dinner area are also in need of a renovation.
Location is great for the University of Sterling and quite close to the Wallance Monument, but far away from anything else. Good direct bus service into the city however.
