What are the common complaints about the rooms at Royal Scots Club?
The bed was too big and too stiff. The room didnt have a view, felt like we were in the basement. The hotel cost over £600 for 3 nights, the room allocated to us was cold, the TV was small for the room, the room was nothing special for such price. Our room had cobwebs in the upper corners and the bathroom wasn't quite as clean as we had hoped. Our room #16) had no shower. We managed fine, though, happy with the 4-poster bed with a canopy.
