The hotel staff was courteous and friendly. The room was clean and spacious. I needed to have a lightbulb changed and it was promptly addressed by maintenance. The parking lot was secure. The library was a lovely place to find some quiet.

Wonderful get away with friends.
Pros:

We had friends visiting us for a week and decided to end our visit with a stay at the beautiful Oban Inn. Location and premises are perfect.
We began our stay with beverages in the beautiful garden and enjoyed a delicious dinner in their dining room.

Our friends stayed in the main building, we were in a second building. Rooms were a good size with a comfortable bed. We had to leave early to get our friends to the airport and the staff made sure our breakfast was served quickly.

Sorry our stay was so short. Hope to come back again soon.

Poorly run hotel in NOTL
Pros:

Pool closed by health Dept. Food terrible. Kitchen poorly run.. A disgrace! Hotel no one in charge. I got a full refund. Never will stay there again. Not safe. Looks like amateur cooking. Should have Health and Fire inspections. Owner dont care.

Beautiful Setting, but Lacking Maintenance
Pros:

The hotel made a great first impression on arrival—it’s in a stunning location with lots of potential. However, we were disappointed by how poorly maintained the exterior was. Several areas, especially around the gym, were covered in spider webs, and our outdoor patio had broken decking and mildew, making it feel neglected.

The inn does have a pool, which is a nice bonus, but it’s quite small and unfortunately offers no parasols or shaded areas, which made relaxing there difficult in the heat.

The food, however, was very good and definitely a highlight of our stay.

Sadly, our friends’ room was unimpressive and left them disappointed.

With a bit of TLC and attention to detail, this place could be truly fantastic.
