Station Hotel Aberdeen
Room 414. I was so pleased with this hotel, how central it was to everything . It was very clean and I loved the decor, the bed was comfortable and the bathroom facilities were excellent. There was plenty of storage and very spacious the view wasn't great though...it was a vent but I left the drapes ...
