This is the first time we’ve tried the Inn Keepers Lodge brand and we will definitely consider it again. Booked it for a wedding at the close by Huntingtower Hotel at a special weekend rate of three nights for the price of two. Even though we didn’t stay the Sunday night it was useful to have the room as long as we wanted on Sunday to sleep off any potential hangover before driving back home late afternoon.
Initial impressions were gloomy but once checked in at the nearby Glover Arms pub we made our may to the room and were hugely impressed. Very cosy; 20 inch flat screen TV, modern furniture, beautiful bathroom with lovely walk in power shower, coffee/tea, hair dryer and reasonable storage (enough for a long weekend at least)
The service staff was superb, not disturbing us until our ‘sleeping’ sign had been removed. Breakfast was very good, served in the nearby Glover Arms. Plenty of fresh juices and fruits as well as cereal and toast options.
Excellent location just off the Edinburgh Perth motorway, ideal if coming by car. Perth city centre is an easy 3 mile straight run and there is a huge Tesco and B&Q in easy walking distance as well as a Dobies Garden Centre and Edinburgh Woollen Mill just at the back (if you’re into that sort of thing)
After this experience I will always check the local Inn Keepers Lodge option as well the usual Travelodge, Holiday Inn Express and Ibis offerings. The free parking is also an important deciding factor. Essentially these places are aimed at those arriving by car and offer a less stressful alternative to city centre stays.
