I was excited about the central location of the hotel, right in the middle of town, near all the pubs and nightlife. The rooms, however, were a bit disappointing. They were noisy due to traffic, small, and shabby, not quite worth the price I paid. The karaoke music until midnight was a bit much, adding to the less-than-ideal experience.

The hotel offers very clean rooms and decent food and drink options, but the noise from the karaoke room across the street was too much for the price paid. Staying in an adjoining property was convenient and spacious.

The location is perfect for town center activities and attractions like the Falkirk Circle Boat Lift and the Kelpies, but noise from a nearby nightclub can be bothersome on Saturdays.
