Hotel was quite hard to find, there is a car park outside the hotel but it’s first come first served. Hotel is right by the mall so there’s places to eat and things to do. Hotel was decent for the price but the room was average. Paint is chipped on the walls, curtains wasn’t the cleanest but beds were comfy and there is air on in the room.

Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities
Difficult at times as room smelt lived in and there was a silverfish on the bed. The older male manager seemed frustrated and didn’t have a good manner.

Absolutely disgraceful. Hotel has advertised parking available and yet they have parking for approximately 20 cars. Spent almost 2 hours there and eventually gave up and booked a room at a different hotel as it was getting late and I needed to get some sleep! Will never book a room at a thistle hotel again!
