“I see an independently owned hotel that prioritizes comfort and individual attention, where the sports bar buzzes with energy and HD screens; it's clearly a family-friendly place, too, from its children's menu to its beer garden. While some rooms might feel compact and a hiccup with an order seems possible, the location near Aberdeen's attractions is undeniable. Overall, I think it balances a lively atmosphere with genuine hospitality.”
