The room's overall amenities were good, and the mattress was comfortable, helping me sleep well. Although the breakfast selection wasn't extensive, they did have traditional Scottish Potato Scones. The view from the window was decent, and the double-glazed windows effectively blocked out the noise from passing trains. However, there were two main things I was unhappy about: First, upon entering the room, I immediately noticed the tissue box (as shown in image 3) hadn't been tidied. There were only three tissues left, clearly from the previous guest. It made me wonder what the previous guest had done with the tissues to leave them in such a messy state. Second, I had specifically requested *not* to have a corner room before checking in, but for some reason, I was still assigned room 1004, which was a U-shaped room. I hope to see improvements in these areas next time I visit.

Great location, straightforward checkin, excellent price for twin room apartment. Good kitchen facilities - microwave, hob, toaster, kettle, coffee maker, dishwasher- and reasonable quantities of crockery, cutlery, tumblers, wine glasses, washing up liquid etc. Good to have separate area with sofa and tv. WiFi perfectly fine. Slept fairly well but beds and especially pillows were very firm, I usually have 3 pillows but often 1 here was adequate. The main niggle was that we had an accessible room even though not requested. We understand it is hotel policy to allocate these when necessary and heard someone else who was disappointed as well. The problem is that if you’re 6 foot tall the low height of bathroom mirror, sink and fixtures makes things difficult to manage easily.

I stayed at Courtyard by Marriott Glasgow SEC on 13 February for a gig over at the OVO Hydro. From the moment I stepped into the hotel I was impressed. A special mention has to go to Sarah in Reception who made my stay extra special with a drink voucher and upgrade to a corner room which I was delighted about. The hotel is ideally located for those attending events at the OVO Hydro and SEC venues - it’s literally across the road and a 2-5 minute walk! The room overlooked both the OVO Hydro and the world-famous crane, a Glasgow icon. It was clean, well-presented and I liked the extra touch of having a hairdryer in-room as well as an ice bucket for bubbles, and the obligatory tea/coffee. The bed was comfortable and I had a rested sleep in it, and the shower works really well. I will 100% return to this hotel and hopefully will be treated like a well-valued guest again!

The location is the best, just a stone's throw from the central station. The room is quite small. There are no blackout curtains, so with the long summer daylight, it felt like morning after just a short sleep. The space-saving retractable bed frame sometimes makes noise when you turn. Great for convenience, but affected a little esp for light sleepers

Staff at the reception were very helpful and friendly, lots of parking around that’s free on weekends, or they have parking at the back for a fee. Room was very clean and does have tea/coffee facilities. Housekeeping staff were very friendly. We booked a standard double which I must say was a slightly small double bed. However it was a very spacious room. Very good value during the common wealth games.

Booked 2 nights and added extra pay to get the room that all female. The reception guy said that he will allow me to be move to all female room as my booking are mixed customer room. I explained that I paid extra to secure all female dorm. But he said my room are mixed dorm i am happy as my request was granted the first night but 2nd night he said that no available female room but if i want to upgrade my booking i will pay extra £40. Not happy how the reception desk dealt my request. Also the room was so hot if you open the window no way you can slee as it was so noisy outside.

Hotel operates more like an AirBnB except that it was maintained and run by a couple. The only differences id that it doesn't have the facilities provided by the AirBnB and it does not setup up like a hotel. With no dinning and common rest areas for guests. Nonetheless, the heater from the main boiler was not fired on although we had asked for heating in the room
