This was a beautiful and charming hotel. The front desk guys both morning and evening (sorry forgot your names) were so welcoming and friendly. They both were full of great information about the town along with wonderful recommendations for dinner. We will definitely be visiting again, thank you for everything!

Loved this property because it has an authentic Scottish vibe. It is an old hotel but well managed and kept clean. The entire staff was so friendly and welcoming. I would definitely stay here again!

The staff was nice the accommodations were three star, maybe less. Our room had a broken down couch-bed they reclaimed as a second bed, there is no way anyone could sleep on it. The beds were also haphazard made.

This is a historical property. Beautiful iron railings, high ceilings. The staff are very friendly and helpful. Will draw you a map and write directions. No AC, No elevator. But if you want authentic, this is the place.

Close to Dean Gardens
The Thistle is a quaint hotel off the main thoroughfare. It is quiet, and building their business up. Staying in a “family” room has a few challenges, but the staff was courteous and kind.

Manor Suite
We had a two nights stay in the Manor Suite- the room's incredibly comfortable and we got some good night's sleep. Staff is nice and check-in was quick. Breakfast was ok- limited choice but fresh fruits! Also, you're only a 10min walk away from Prince Street. Check parking lot availability early on.

Staff was great. Very friendly and helpful (and each also wore many hats). Nice breakfast but staff was limited and unable to keep up with replenishment. Room we had was charming, (which also means not very updated). Almost impossible to keep water off the floor during showers. All in all, we enjoyed our stay, and that was because the staff's efforts.
