I booked a twin room for myself and a friend as we wanted to treat ourself to a night in Glasgow. I chose this hotel due to its proximity to both train stations and Glasgow's main shopping streets as well as the all important factor of the hotel having a gym and pool area. I got a rate of £92/night for the room.
I dropped an email to the hotel explaining that we were staying as a birthday celebration (which was true!) and to my delight we were upgraded to a luxury apartment.
The second floor apartment (023) was lovely with a seating area, kitchen and raised bed area, the bathroom had a seperate bath and shower with the most powerful spray I've ever experienced! The decor was modern and lovely with wooden floors and exposed brickwork. Unfortunately the air-con didn't go any lower than 18 degrees and as a city centre hotel it was extremely hot and stuffy and even with all the windows open we found it way too warm.
The pool area was simple but had all you needed, medium sized pool (though a little cold due to water heating problems), a large jacuzzi and sauna and steam room. The only fault was that there was no water fountain near the pool area and you either had to buy water or go to the gym for it (hint: take a bottle down with you). The hotel gym it was extremely well equipped and the air-con here seemed better than that which was in the room as it was nice and cool.
It's only a 10 minute walk from the hotel to the shops and stations and there is also a small Tesco 5 minutes away which stays open until 10pm. The hotel is located in a slightly dubious looking area with building sites and derelict ground nearby, however inside the hotel is lovely and perfectly located for a weekend shopping trip!
