This was my first time staying in a UK hotel. It was a unique experience.
The first thing I noticed was how much like a cruise cabin this reminded me of. From the putting the key card into the power slot to the compact bathroom (With the REALLY big tub) to the lay out of the room, it was all reminiscent of a cruse ship cabin. And that was so different to a US hotel room, and not in a bad way.
The bed was large and comfortable, the pillows were plentiful, the tv was nice. The water was hot. the kettle was great. I love that it was a kettle vs a coffee maker!
What they did really differently? No small sized shampoo and conditioner, no individual soap. It's a pump container on the wall in the shower of shower gel that is both shampoo and body wash. And a pump beside the sink that is for the face and hands. It smells very masculine to my nose and I'm just a touch allergic to it.
This location is RIGHT next door to the Perth Theatre, and made an excellent destination for us after watching the show. I'm glad we were able to secure one of the parking spots behind the hotel at 5 pounds per night. read more
