Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
Room was clean and comfortable. Large bathroom. Limited parking at hotel. Small insignificant reception area for hotel guests. Surely an establishment of this size could do better? Priority for McKays is obviously food and bar areas which were ok. I would not accept room 102 again due to the constant banging of the door outside that led to an inner corridor. We were awakened at 6:30am each morning when movement around the hotel started and people were moving through door into the corridor. Despite us reporting this to reception, nothing was done. McKay’s asset is its restaurant/bar staff who were excellent.
