Ella, did you read this suggestion by Jim Cowper? Does he fly? Queen Street station is right in the middle of town adjacent to George Square, so where's he coming from to suggest Queen St. station is right next to the Mitchell? Also, the Premier is a chain (not necessarily inexpensive) and it's the usual motel type offering. To me, when we were last in Glasgow, a B & B might have been cheaper. Fortunately, we stayed at my brother's in Glasgow but our friend stayed at a Premier Inn. As with anything else, you have to be careful about B & Bs, whereas the better known chains, generally speaking, follow a certain regimen for cleanliness. I can't travel anymore but I'd be a tourist in Glasgow as my brother sold his house and is in some sort of apartment living in Bishopbriggs where there is a guest arrangement (one room, I think). He says he misses his garden, though this complex is not all concrete and does have some greenery around, but he can't putter, of course. Maisie ------------------------------------------- :::Anne I usually stay at The Premier Inn, Charing Cross, Glasgow which is right across the road from the Mitchell. Its clean and comfortable and if you book in advance on the Internet there are usually good deals. The food is good but there are more than enough places to eat in the area. It is right next to Queens Street station which has trains into the city centre (4 minutes) or out to Loch Lomond etc. Just Google Premier Inn. Taxi to the airport costs £17 one way and takes no more than 15 minutes.

You could have a look and check how close they are to the Mitchell.

I suggest Visit Scotland as your most dependable source. They rate B & Bs very closely. They can find something by location, size, amenities, etc. Happy visit.
