Aberdeen Douglas Hotel
Staff was great. Breakfast was good — much better than American continental breakfasts but not as good as German or Italian breakfasts which are outstanding. The doors slam very loudly so I could hear anytime anyone was coming and going on my floor.

Rox Hotel Aberdeen by Compass Hospitality
Lovely, very helpful staff. Bathroom wasn't quite as clean as it might have been (a mould & mildew remover would fix that) but the room was spacious and super quiet. Excellent value for money.

Royal Athenaeum Suites
It had a kitchen in the room. Good location. Poor parking and directions to hotel. Once there is was nice.
