Courtyard by Marriott Glasgow SEC

Courtyard by Marriott Glasgow SEC

10/10 Excellent
"Overall the stay was good. Room was a little dirty...just needed a deeper cleaning than sheets, quick vacuum and new towels over the years. Breakfast was good and the gym was functional for a quick workout."

8/10 Good
"Small but very comfortable room, great bed, flexible breakfast and kind staff. My only issue was the elevator problem. There was only one elevator and it was always slow and crowded. Long waits and often too full to get on so you had to wait even longer. Otherwise, it was a great stay but the elevator was a big issue."

"The room was clean and nice and warm. The walls aren't soundproof. The location was suitable depending on what your looking for and the purpose of your trip. The £100 pre authorisation seems a bit excessive and don't understand the reason why. The staff were pleasant. Not staying here again Not for us but not saying it won't be ok for other people."
