Located in a leafy residential area of Glasgow, the hotel sits within a 3-minute walk of Crookston train station, offering direct services to Glasgow Central and Paisley. A bus stop is 2 minutes away. Glasgow Science Centre and Kelvingrove Art Gallery are within easy reach by train or car. Several restaurants and takeaways are within a 5-minute walk, including Golden Dragon, Leonardo's, and Taj. Free on-site parking is available, but spaces are tight for larger vehicles. The hotel is also well placed for visiting Ross Hall Hospital and Braehead Arena.

Accommodation ranges from compact single rooms (some with en-suite shower, others with shared toilet) to spacious family rooms with a bath and shower. Twin rooms cannot be converted to doubles. The property is undergoing phased renovations; some rooms are newly refurbished with modern decor, while others remain dated with older furniture and mattresses. Rooms above the bar or function rooms can be noisy during events. Ground-floor rooms may have windows facing the car park or entrance, reducing privacy. Hot water pressure and temperature can be inconsistent, and portable heaters are provided in rooms without working central heating. No air conditioning is available. Mattress comfort varies; some beds are reported as very comfortable, others as worn. No rooms have balconies.

Breakfast is served from 08:00 to 09:00 and includes a full Scottish cooked breakfast or continental options. The restaurant is open for dinner and high tea, specialising in Scottish and local dishes. Gluten-free options are available on request. The bar serves a range of drinks, wines, and champagnes, and offers a limited evening menu that includes steak pie and macaroni cheese. Kids' meals are available. The restaurant is popular with locals, so booking a table is recommended. Breakfast is served promptly; the limited one-hour window means early departures may miss it. The bar also has a lively atmosphere on weekends with live music or karaoke.

Wellness facilities are limited to the outdoor terrace and the bar lounge, which has ample seating and a large TV for sports. The bar is a social hub for both guests and locals. Winter sports are available in the surrounding area, though no equipment is provided by the hotel. For those seeking relaxation, the nearby park and castle offer a pleasant walk. No spa, swimming pool, or fitness centre is on site.
