I had a quirky yet enjoyable stay at this hotel in Stirling. The location is spot on, with shops and restaurants nearby. The staff were mostly welcoming and provided some thoughtful gestures, though the service at breakfast was a bit chaotic. The room was clean but small, and the bathroom could have used a better layout. Overall, it was decent but not quite worth the price we paid.
