This was one of the poorest hotels that we have stayed at in quite some time.
Firstly, we were staying on the 3rd floor and so we waited for the lift, which could only hold 4 people and which travelled really slow. When we got into the room it was very dated, with dirty and greasy marks on the walls and not what you would expect from a Caledonian Hotel. The TV in the room was the smallest that I've seen in any hotel ever (in fact my laptop screen was bigger). It was a warm night and there was a broken fan, which I tried to fix but couldn't. The bed consisted of a tired sprung mattress on top of a 1 inch thick chipboard board. It was very uncomfortable and sloped away from the centre towards the edges.
There was no soap in the soap dispenser above the sink. The signs / stickers above the sink had been put on skewed. The sealant around the shower had obviously not been done by a tradesman and the shower taps were also fitted on a skew.
Breakfast was a minor disaster with guests constantly asking staff where plates were kept (including myself). The plates were extremely hot. The quality of the food was generally poor; hash browns were bland, sausages were tasteless, bacon was fatty and scrambled egg was watery. Worst of all were the sachets of brown sauce, which tasted more like a sugary tomato ketchup? On the sachets was a picture of onions and apples?
