i arrived at the hotel at 1.30pm to find it's beer garden at the front of the hotel completely overrun with fans of glasgow rangers making use of two outside bars that had been set up & loud music was blaring from a sound system. myself & a couple of dozen man utd fans fought our way through the mob only to be faced with four bouncers who were supposed to maintain control quizing us before we were allowed into the hotel, where we were informed that we would have to wait till after 2pm to check in.
it was a hot & muggy afternoon & i was already exhausted from my travels that day & wanted a shower & a short rest before the game at murrayfield. i got time for the shower but it was after 3pm by this time & i'd still got to get to the stadium before kick off.
i got soaked walking to the stadium & soaked again on the way back to the hotel for my overdue rest, i suffer from MS. but no, the fans were back in the beer garden, music blaring yet again & my room, nice though it was with a lovely big shower cubicle, was on the ground floor & to highlight this the bedroom window was a large pane of frosted glass, i had to close the blinds & the curtains to get some privacy but didn't drown out the racket from right outside my window, one of the bars had been set up right outside my room.
breakfast wasn't included in the £246 i paid & it would be another £25, needless to say i wasn't going to pay that & i checked out at 9am,
i won't be back
