Can someone chime in on a recent RS trip through Scotland, on their opinion of the hotels that they stayed in while on tour? We are alumni’s of many RS tours and have only had a couple of hotels that were disappointing at best. Friends took the tour 2 years ago and complained bitterly about the hotels being subpar on the Scotland tour. I did take this with a grain of salt but would like to hear some others input.

I took this tour in 2024 and have no complaints about the hotels. A couple of the hotel breakfasts were not buffet style — you had to sit down, wait for a waiter to come over and take your order. Then wait for your breakfast to be delivered. It was inefficient as it wasted time when we had to leave early in the morning.

We took the Best of Scotland (shorter) tour in 2024, and all the hotels were good or better. The Loch Rannock hotel was absolutely lovely - room had a killer view out the window and a couch/sitting area. Also a cozy bar and excellent breakfast. I appreciated all the breakfasts, in fact. The only hotel I didn't love so much was in Edinburgh (can't remember the name, sorry,) where the bed was up against one wall and required one person climbing over the end to get in/out. On the other hand, that hotel had a laundry room, so it was fine too. We tend to roll with whatever hotel we get, realizing it's a challenge to find rooms for 25+ people that meet Rick's other goals (centrally located, etc.)

It would be helpful to know what their main grievances and why they thought the hotels were sub par. What were they comparing them with?
