Advantages: has everything you need for a good night's sleep Disadvantages: servie station location
First of all, I have to say that i do appreciate this hotel being at a motorway service station however, other service stations I have been to have coach stops whereas this hotel is only accessible by car (or if you like to splash the cash, by taxi). The hotel has everything you come to expect from the Travel inn/Travelodge type of hotel with a decent bed, a pull-out sofa, decent bathroom, tea and coffee making facilities, and a few satellite tv channels. My husband and I thought we should give this hotel a try as it is located pretty much bang in the centre between Edinburgh and Glasgow, with Edinburgh around 50 mins away and Glasgow 40mins away taking traffic into account. The hotel is also an OK price, coming in at 47pounds a night.
One area i was disappointed in was the fact that despite it being in a service station, our ...
Advantages: central location, cheap(ish), large room Disadvantages: hanging space limited, rooms on a walkway
Mack was on the lookout for a holiday in September, and just by pure luck she saw an ad in one of the Sunday papers for half price holidays with Virgin. With frantic text and phone calls to her travel buddy, within the hour a 10 day trip to Orlando was booked.
QualityInn International sits almost plum in the middle of International Drive, just past the crossroads at Sand Lake Road. If you've seen the world's largest McDonalds (and how could you miss it?) then you've seen the QualityInn, which is right next to it.
* Checking in *
After an eight hour flight, the last thing I needed was a lengthy check in but I only had to give my name at Registration and the lady had everything ready for us, including two key cards. She also gave my friend and I some little 'extras' including a voucher for a free drink at the bar, two free ...
Advantages: Good family friendly pub with a great atmosphere and great food. Disadvantages: None
places.
The waitress was lovely and was efficient and helpful. Once seated she brought additional drinks to our table when we required them and did this in an un-intrusive manner (we tipped her?she was worth it).
The food was of a high quality (I had the sirloin steak with Diane sauce ) and presented well.
On the bar front the Griffin Inn serves a good range of lagers/beers and real ales together with the normal soft drinks, spirits etc.
It?s a family friendly pub (because its an eatery in the main I guess) so you won?t have trouble popping in with the children.
My Opinion
Lovely little pub/inn, great atmosphere, lovely food, friendly staff ? thumbs up from me.
