Just and FYI - I just called the Grasshoppers hotel in Glasgow to check on availability for next May (2025) and was told the hotel is now closed.

Any idea if it is closed ( temporarily) for renovations or ( permanently) because of financial setback?

Yes, some of his recommendations are not accurate. Always good to double check for accuracy.

In all fairness, mikliz97, the hotel JUST closed on Sept. 1, so I doubt that RS would have known (see more details in Sam's link above). But good point about checking for accuracy.

Mardee--Yes, that is what I was getting at. One needs to always verify any information:)
