Some good points and some in need of updating

Hotel looks nice and well maintained but we found it was surface dressing; window didn't shut, water didn't get hot but on the plus side the TV was huge and there was plenty tea and coffee in the room. Breakfast was a bit basic, not much fruit and a basic cooked breakfast buffet. Choice of some milk alternatives but nothing labelled on the hot buffet and no gluten free bread available. It's been a long time since I last experienced that!

The room I had was hot with no ventilation or air conditioning , the window didn't open. The heated towel rail in the bathroom remained heated all night. The shower was complicated and I couldn't get the water to run hot.

Stayed for 2 nights at this recently renovated hotel. The room was small and basic but clean. TV reception was not great. Parking in the hotel forecourt is extremely limited, but I managed to find parking on the road outside, which was free overnight, but only maximum of 2 hours paid parking during the day (fortunately, this was not an issue for me as I was away during the day, but I imagine it could be for other people). There was only one small lift for customers, which would be a problem for anyone with mobility issues. Staff were kind and courteous. Location was great. However, I don’t think I would stay there in the future, as in my opinion there are better hotels in the area.

Overall not a bad place. Definitely needs some work. Room was dirty and falling apart “even tho it was supposed to be refurbished” but the staff was quite pleasant and very helpful. Beds were very comfortable and if I needed anything they were on it right away. I’d definitely stay here again. I was honest with them when I brought the issues up with them and they didn’t get defensive.. they listened and apologized. With paying attention to a few things this could be a 5 star hotel. It’s a 3 star but the staff was so awesome I’ll give a 4 star. I already miss Oban and the staff at the Muthu regional hotel! Thank you very much for having me!!

The room was tricky to get into due to position of bed, but once in it was comfortable and had everything you need. Housekeeping staff provided with with an iron very promptly and all staff were very nice. Decor is to a nice standard and having a sea view was bliss. Breakfast was rather yummy and very good value for money. Iussed seeing some fruit and it would have been nice to have the coffee in a cafeteria

Short Stay

Arrived 2 1/2 hrs early and told we had an upgrade, which was nice as it had a sea view, however the room wasn't ready yet, so asked to come back at check-in time. When we got to our room, the bathroom floor didn't look clean, my wife wiped it and it was dirty, dusty and lots of hair, there was also flecks of paper on the bedroom floor. I took the sample down to reception, they were very apologetic and gave us a further upgrade stating there had been a breakdown in communication with housekeeping. The final room was better, great views, warm, comfortable bed, warm shower. Overall the staff were pleasant and apologetic, however a checklist for Housekeeping might be beneficial. The is limited parking, however you can park at their sister hotel the Alexandra. We helped a disabled couple up the stairs with their luggage as the access is not at ground level, so i would check external accessibility.
