I had a fine stay at the Holiday Inn in Glasgow. The location was absolutely perfect for exploring the city, with plenty of shops and attractions nearby. My room was spacious and comfy, but I did have some issues with the bathroom ventilation. The breakfast was a standout; I was really impressed with the variety offered, though it was a bit disappointing that it wasn't included on my award night.
