In an ideal world this would be part of a recognised hotel district -- one of many in the city -- that taps into an increasing demand for short term accommodation.
Unfortunately the area has some way to go as it presents a gap toothed smile to the world.
It is progress so here's hoping there are more on the way -- Sauchiehall Street needs their occupants cash / spending power.
A bit of public realm wouldn't go amiss either.
