adequate stay with some issues

loud door inadequate soundproofing

the room décor seemed stylish.

our room was near a self-closing door, and it was quite loud. i could also hear people walking in the room above mine (it was disruptive). the soundproofing was not adequate (i expect it to be much better)

doggy pack extra sausage thin walls awful water

The location is GREAT. It is close to Cairngorms. The room was clean and modern. It. The staff gave me a doggy pack for my dog. I received an extra sausage in the morning for it.

No one greeted me. I felt very impersonal. Water tasted awful, when I made tea. The walls were thin, between rooms.
