Holiday Inn Express Glasgow Airport by IHG

10/10 Excellent
"Great communication with the hotel prior to our arrival. It was literally a 5 minute walk from the terminal, we cut through the airport car park and we used a suitcase trolley the whole way - there's a trolley bay outside the hotel too. The person on reception was lovely and very accommodating when we arrived. We had 3 cases and hand luggage, she offered us to leave cases in the luggage room which was really helpful. Our room was clean and the beds were comfy. The only thing to be aware the heating is through an air conditioning unit and it is very noisy, we arrived at 3am after a flight and our room was cold, too cold for our baby to sleep in the travel cot - it was like ice. She was layed up and had a sleeping bag but I ended up co-sleeping with her in the bed. We did turn the heating on but it was so loud we couldn't sleep with a noisy air conditioning unit on, it also made the air really dry. Breakfast was excellent, help yourself buffet style with all the usual Scottish breakfast items plus cereal, toast, croissants, fruit juice and hot drinks. We would definitely stay here again just maybe make sure to have the heating on as soon as we get into our room especially in the winter."
