The bed is great med firm and found out brand used is Serta. Given 4 pillows and 1 extra pillow as well. Pillow is of better quality too. it's our first stay and it's relieved and pleasing to be able to stay into a hotel that allows ample rest for us after a week of hectic travel. Short walking distance to Gleneagles & the malls nearby. One to pick on is the sound proofing is bad as we could hear loud and clear walking and stamping sounds across the corridor.
