I stayed here for one night as part of a shopping spree to Glasgow on the May Bank holiday weekend. We made the right choice! We booked directly through the hotel for £90 for dinner, bed and breakfast for us both (very reasonable) but found the same deal for very slightly cheaper on [--]. I called the hotel's reservations number as the chain has a Best Rate guarantee. When they found they'd been undersold, they gave us our DBB for the cheaper price plus 10% discount! We were very pleased.
The hotel itself is immaculate. It has a lovely reception and seating area on entering and a comfortable bar area to while away the hours until dinner (£2.95 for a pint of Carling and £3.55 for a vodka and mixer).
The staff in all areas of the hotel were extremely efficient and helpful. Our room was on the top (6th) floor, and was modern and warm. The bathroom was spacious and fresh but, travelling light, we decided to rely on hotel toiletries... there wasn't any shower gel so that was a mistake! The tv had internet connection, payable by the hour, on the tv. The movies were overpriced definitely but there was a good choice of current titles. The kingsize bed was very cosy and comfortable... in fact, too cosy. Our only complaint about the hotel would be that the room was far too hot during the night, we had to throw the duvet off.
Our dinner was from the Chef's Recommended Menu. There were three choices for each course: goats cheese, soup or tuna nicoise as starters, macaroni cheese, lamb chop or monkfish as the main course and brownie, creme brulee or panacotta for dessert. Not a huge choice, but the presentation and service were excellent. Not much of an atmosphere as the dining room wasn't very busy with all the great restaurants in nearby Glasgow city centre. These could be upgraded to the a la carte menu at a price!
Although we didn't use the leisure facilities, they looked lovely and were being used by others. We stayed on a Sunday evening, but despite the holiday it wasn't too busy.
all in all we had a lovely stay and would definitely return to the Menzies in Glasgow.
