It's in an amazing location and if you are lucky enough to get a front facing room, you have a fantastic view. Satff were all fab and it was a bonus to have a car park. We did feel the breakfast was expensive and there was no real restaurant to have evening dinner. There is a pub down stairs attached to hotel which was very nice.and they did serve pub type meals. We would def stay there again.

Very good location across from the Old Course. Staffs are friendly and helpful. Overall the hotel is very dated, and worn out. It deserves a major renovation to take advantage of its location.

Outstanding General Manager

There was a mix-up when we arrived and we were sent to a room which was not yet ready. The General Manager sought to resolve the issue quickly and effectively and could not have been more accommodating as we waited. The hotel itself was good but the service of the manager made it great.

Taxi Service

Everything was excellent until out taxi that was to have been called did not show up. We almost missed our multiple connecting trains...Golf taxi saved the day...and these train tickets were not flexible. I don't know where the breakdown was...ie calling the taxi or the taxi company just not showing up, but in a place like St Andrews with no uber or lift service, efficient reliable taxi service is a no-brainer

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
This hotel has the potential to be a great location for visitors. Instead it is a run-down (American owned) understaffed dump that sits on one of the worlds prime locations. A shabby, poorly-managed & overpriced disappointment that, frankly, was a shock to visit. I very rarely write reviews on forums such as this but felt compelled to warn visitors to look at every other option to stay in St Andrew’s before choosing this place. The owners, Best Western, tend to ruin everything they touch and The Scores is a shining example of that lazy discarded neglect they have come to perfect. I rarely write in these kind of forums but felt compelled to warn potential guests to St Andrew’s that, until The Scores changes owners and shown some care, this is not the place to stay.
