Pros:

Was near our Venue

Cons:

I paid £198 for 2 nights bed and breakfast .
My friend paid £138 for bed only for 2 nights .
She ended up with a superior room and a discount of her breakfast .
I'm so annoyed it was literally a small room with a large bed I had asked for a bath and there was only a shower
When I tried to explain why no bath and why the difference in price I was told that maybe I booked through a different source?.
Both were booked through booking.com a week apart ........
Both

Once inside it is a very nice hotel.
Pros:

Nice clean comfortable room.
Excellent location.
Receptionist extremely welcoming in polite

Cons:

A bit shabby from the outside that belies what you find inside. If it was my property I would paint it as a matter of urgency.
Breakfast pricey.

Good break away in the centre of Oban
Pros:

The room was clean and well presented, not a huge room but big enough for our needs, The breakfast was lovely, all well cooked and lots of choice, the hotel is right in the centre of Oban and you can watch the ferry from the breakfast table. There is a very small area at the front of the hotel for parking but it was always full, the town car park was just across the road so we used that.

Cons:

My only complaint was the plates at breakfast were cold, so your food didn’t stay hot for long, the cooked breakfast choice was very good I thought, (lovely bacon and black pudding) but the ice cold plate spoiled it.
