After we left the Wall it started to rain.We were going to stop at the Gretna Green outlets but it was raining,the outlets were not covered and the car park was absolutely full so we continued north.We noticed at every overpass there were people looking at the south bound traffic.Turns out there were 2 events on-the Gumball 3000 rally,Miami to Malaga,as well as a local Targa event.Some interesting vintage vehicles were headed south.
Stopped at a Starbucks.The young laddie was a wee bit difficult to understand.We then continued to Glasgow.Followed the signs as per the HGI website ready to exit on exit 19 only to find if you are on the main lanes of M8 you cant exit at 19.So headed off to the CBD and fortunately knowing roughly where the HGI was found it quickly.On a part of redeveloped dockside next to the conference and entertainment centres-
.
.
There was an old building which housed an Asian and an Italian restaurant rated 960 and 676 on Trip Advisor so didn't bother trying them.
.
A memory of the old docks was left-
.
And the new bridge already being repaired-
.
Now all HGIs we have been in have been virtually identical including Luton.This one was different.The room was a shoebox even though we were supposedly upgraded.Obviously the top floor is regarded as an upgrade.
.
The bathroom was incredibly small.After a shower it was basically impossible to dry yourself unless the door was open.We were tired so had dinner at their restaurant and it wasn't too bad.Mrsdrron had the salmon with potato roesti-it wasn't overcooked.My steak looked like it was overdone but cutting into it it was cooked as ordered.Came with a side so I had cauliflower and cheese-done beautifully-
.
.
On our last night it stopped raining and the wind dropped.When it got dark~2330-the bridge was a sight-
.
.
So not the best HGI,nothing around it but easier to get around Glasgow from there.Not sure I would unreservedly recommend it.
