I had a very disappointing experience at this hotel. The rooms were very dated, with a worn carpet and torn wallpaper. The floor creaked badly, and even the shower didn't work properly. The service was friendly, but the hotel needs to address several issues. The location was convenient in the center of Bridge of Allan, but the overall impression was that the hotel has seen better days.
