    Inviting, Inviting, Inviting

    I stayed in a spacious Junior Suite, and it felt like a cozy home away from home with its separate sitting area and extra TV. Every morning, I hit the gym, helped by the friendly staff who made it a daily joy. The bar area was not only charming but also served delightful local beers. I couldn’t resist the atmosphere!

    breakfast buffet
    relaxing atmosphere
    body wraps
    hallway noise

    We had a lovely time enjoying the breakfast buffet with homemade pancakes and bacon—they were delicious! The relaxing atmosphere of the treatment room and body wraps made our stay extra special. Just a heads-up, the hallway noise did wake us up a bit, but it didn't dampen our overall experience. 😊

    comfy bed
    heavy curtains
    outdated bathroom
    noise from guests

    The room was clean, which was a plus. Had heavy curtains that helped with the heat outside. The bed was comfy enough for a good night's sleep. some things felt a bit outdated, especially in the bathroom. it was okay but could definitely use a refresh. could hear some noise from other guests now and then.

    Spacious suite with friendly staff

    We enjoyed a spacious suite with a separate sitting area and a well-equipped setup, making our stay very comfortable. The staff were friendly and accommodating, providing extra tea and coffee whenever needed. While the leisure facilities were great, it would be nice to see some updates to the room decor.

    hardworking staff

    Just a reliable pick for a weekend break in Elgin with exceptional value. The breakfast staff worked hard even with a full dining area. Avoid noisy rooms near the reception.

    Nice pool area provides a solid way to unwind after a hectic day. Well-sized gym facilities allow for a decent workout session, which is a nice perk.

    The bar was closed during my stay, which was a letdown since I was looking to unwind there. The mattress in my room felt uncomfortably hard, making it hard to get a good night's sleep. The place carries a bit of a tired vibe, with worn decking leading up to the entrance and bathrooms needing some attention. I've also noticed questionable food practices like cardboard cereal boxes being immediately tossed instead of recycled—the kind of thing that definitely sticks out in a climate-conscious era.
