Great location

My latest stay here and was on the top floor this time, meaning I had a brilliant view. Perfect to see how close it was to The Hydro where I was going to a concert. I usually get the train to the hotel but as I had a liitle time from my bus arriving and my check-in I decided to walk from Buchanan Bus station. It was closer than I thought to the city centre.
