The decor impressed me very much. I liked that it features photographs of Scottish celebrities from sports and music. My room was themed after Rod Stewart, a REALLY great touch. The restaurant surprised me. Haggis was everywhere except in the dessert section.

I did notice slight issues with storage. My clothes mostly remained packed in my case. No coat hooks existed, so we had to pile our coats on a chair.
