Persuaded by a most attractive internet presentation and on-line reviews I booked at the Townhouse Hotel in Glasgow's West End. It was a major disappointment. The place has become shabby and the staff appears unable to keep pace with the challenges of keeping this busy bed and breakfast hotel clean and tidy. From what I saw of the lounge and other public areas, as well as my potential room, I could not recommend this hotel. The place was a mess by any but the most forgiving of bohemian standards (rotten fruit in bowls, uncollected dirty dishes from breakfast, and soiled carpets that had seen only the most cursory vacuuming for an extended time). Based on what I observed I would not stay at the Townhouse Hotel at any price.
