I stayed for one night at the Jurys Inn hotel which is located in central Glasgow adjacent to the east side of the Central railway station. It`s a modern building only a couple of minutes walk from any entrance to the station and close to the city for shopping and nightlife.
The entrance and reception is very modern and gives the hotel an air of class. On the left of the smallish lobby ia a bar and on the right a restaraunt neither of which I tried. The receptionist was very friendly almost to the point of being overbearing but compared to some hotels this was almost welcome and If I`m paying seventy pounds I woud expect it!
Having spent the previous night at the `Quality Hotel` I didnt want a street facing room especially as there`s a busy road junction and a nightclub on the east side of the hotel. The other side faces the station and I asked for and got a room on this side.
The lift takes you to your floor and deposits you into a clean well lit but bland corridor to your room. On entering there was some disappointment as they seem to have used the same room template that Travelodge use, not very large with nothing extra except for a slighty noisy built in air con. The room though was spotless and the general feel was of better quality material and furniture than standard Travelodge/Inns. The bathroom was almost clinically clean although the bath was small and flooded the floor if you tried to move in it !
The windows were triple glazed and most of the station noise was cut out although the the long `Intercity` trains use the nearest two lines and can be heard and felt. The station quietens down at night but trains do start running from five or six o`clock onwards, still preferable to all night street noise though.
Overall the Jury`s Inn Hotel (not to be confused with the Jury`s Glasgow hotel way out in the north of the city) is a clean well presented hotel. It is not a luxury hotel and I wouldn`t use for special occasions or longer stays but it does `functional` in a very good way. If I paid Travelodge/Inn another twenty pounds a night this is what I would expect from them.
