Few days late - but #December was an odd month for lots of reasons - but saw travel to #lasvegas for a big international trade show and then a short hop to #athens for the last visit of the year. Then a few parties for Xmas before stopping for a couple of weeks. Now back to the day job tomorrow!

Well that’s the last #hotelstay of 2023 done and the rest of the year will be spent in my own bed. I’ve not counted how many nights I’ve been in hotels this year (I don’t think I want to!) but at least with one chain I have had 70 nights as the app told me this morning!  It’s all part and parcel of the job but also it’s not easy at times either. 

My last stay this year was with #hotelindigo I do love an @hotelindigo hotel. On my blog and on here you can find many stays reviewed at #indigohotels across the world.

Last night was hotel indigo on #leicestersquare. I loved the theming and very apt for my last stay of the year to have all the #theatrical elements around. 

Now a bit of time to rest and recharge ready for 2024!

A busy few days in #lasvegas with work! The city really is like nowhere else on the planet with the wide range of #casinos #shows and #hotels to see. It’s such a mad place. Was a really good show for work with my companies product winning an award as well. A very lovely stay @virginhotelslv

Been quite a manic and busy #November! Trips to #lasvegas and #Germaany. Lit a show for @guildfordschoolofacting and had a busy time at work. @johannaspayne also fell in a tree. @max_theminiweenie just looked cute and we headed towards #xmas.

As we ended our #Route1 journey up the west coast of #usa we arrived in #seattle. It was defiantly one of our more favourite stops of the whole trip even if it was very cold! We spent a load of time up the @spaceneedle with a wonderful dinner on our last night. We also visited Seattle where there was a whole new level of the city created. On our way back to the airport we visited the @boeing museum which was very geeky!

It’s not been the busiest month for October with only a couple of days in Stockholm and then a stag do in London for a weekend, rest of the time has mostly been around home - which makes for a very nice change…. November and December will be very different!

Crowne Plaza Glasgow SEC

Crowne Plaza Glasgow Hotel

After a short xmas break I was back on the road again! In the first few weeks of 2017 a short hop from Stansted with easyjet took me to Glasgow for an industry conference and exhibition. Given the conference was at the SEC there is really not a better place than the Crowne Plaza. Situated literally 2 minuets from the doors (or if you can work out the internal network of passages you don’t even have to go outside!) This modern, clean business focused hotel is a great place to stay.

Not having stayed at a Crowne Plaza in a while I found the booking process on the website to be fast and efficient and this was continued to the standard of welcome at the hotel. The reception staff knew the target market and what a travelling businessman needs. Free newspapers were available on request each morning (although I got them – and didn’t ask for them!) and upon arrival in the room I found a folded towel and a card with the name of the member of staff who had made my room up. The room was clean, tidy and spacious with my room having a good view of the river Clyde. Plenty of options on the type of pillows and even though I was next to the lift shaft/lobby it was quite quiet. The room had plenty of space to move around in, the desk was spacious enough for working at!

The hotel is in a great location for the SEC. For the city centre however it’s a short cab ride. I did an Uber to a drinks event in the city but there are always taxi’s at the front of the hotel or reception will ring for one.

In the hotel there is a good gym and also swimming pool which (as per usual) I didn’t have time to frequent sadly.

Breakfast is served in the foyer bar/cafe (you are also able to get drinks here till late and food as well) A very wide selection of food is offer – from the healthy to the not so…

Summary

Hotel Address: Congress Rd, Glasgow G3 8QT. Tel 0141 306 9988

Wifi: Free, and good spee
Room Rate: £95.00
Sockets by Bed: Yes
Shower: Excellent
Parking: Yes £6 all day – although I didn’t use this
To City Centre: Uber was £7 each way.

Official Star Rating: 4 Stars
TS Rating: 4
TS Comment: A great business hotel that takes care of all your needs so you can have a comfortable and great stay. My only stop to 4.5 stars was the location – but this isn’t the hotels fault for everything else it makes it that 4.5 star…
