I had a mixed experience at the Stirling Highland Hotel. While the location was fantastic, right near the castle and town center, the room felt outdated and had several maintenance issues. Not to mention, the dining options were limited due to renovations, which was disappointing given the positive expectations I had from reviews. Overall, there were some great features, but the shortcomings left me wanting more.
