Stirling Highland Hotel, Stirling

Advantages: Good value, clean and comfortable
Disadvantages: None

...I love visiting Scotland for short breaks, and Stirling with the surrounding Trossachs, Loch Lomond etc is my favourite area. I always think Stirling has a certain 'air' about it, and I always feel at home when I visit. The people are very friendly and there is some beautiful scenery. I have stayed at the Express by Holiday Inn Stirling, a few times, booking directly by visiting Hiexpress.co.uk ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ HOW TO GET THERE ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The hotel is situated on the outskirts of Springkerse business park, Stirling.

Advantages: Well located for drivers
Disadvantages: ...therefore just off the motorway

...quite bizarre that we had one of them in our bathroom after all. The motel did not have conference rooms or a bar or a café of any kind. It offered a breakfast bag for £4 which included the bare essentials - a croissant, cereal and fruit juice - which would be delivered to your room at an appropriate time.

Advantages: cheap nights **now closed for refurbishment**
Disadvantages: Its usually dead

...The club has finally closed its doors for the last time, the refurbishment we are told will begin in 2 weeks time and take around 10 weeks meaning the shiny new club will reopen around the time of the students midsemester break. This is something that anyone who knows the club will agree is long over due, and I wish the new manager(whoever that might be) and their new bar team all the best for the future, as currently I have no plans to return to work at this venue, although I will be returning as a guest to see the new venue. Stirling small city with a large student population, but has only four night clubs, two in the city centre, Enigma and Fubar (which lives up to its name), one near the uni campus The Beat and one in the student union Glow. So students are limited in their clubbing options. So in stirling has evolved a club... Read review
