Pros:

Nice me in the attached Italian restaurant.

Cons:

Not a dislike, but the room was a bit dated. However it was entirely as expected as we'd stayed here twice before.and for a single night getaway wasn't an issue.

Other hotels are available!!
Pros:

Location for our plans for weekend away

Cons:

Everything seems a chore for the staff, from arriving when the booking was wrong at their end and receptionist scowled before fixing.
The room was very, very dated, not properly cleaned (sticky coffee stains on work surfaces, needed a vacuum as we kept standing on beads clearly from a previous guest).
Sheet had hole in, plug socket for kettle dangerously not in wall properly. Headboard broken and hanging off bed. Mattresses etc very much seen better days and past their best, fan in bathroom working when it wanted to but never when needed!
Room not serviced during 2 night stay so had to ask for clean towels etc late at night when we returned.
Majority of staff gave impression that requests were a nuisance to them. Would however single out young lads on dining duty and lady serving breakfast for their approachable attitudes. Especially gentleman (gave impression of being a duty manager?) who each time we saw him was polite, professional and friendly.
Reading other reviews and looking at pictures we had higher expectations from the hotel and certainly wouldn’t recommend to friends or consider trying others in the group

A beautiful ‘but very tired’ building which is in desperate need of a refurbishment.
Pros:

It’s in a great location

Cons:

Tired 80s decor and most definitely now ‘out of date’ style over substance.

The bed’s desperately need replacing. The sprung mattresses had very little padding and it was the most uncomfortable of any hotel bed I have tried to sleep on.

Lovely to be back at the Argyll after lots of years. Very clean hotel, couldn’t fault the efforts to maintain cleanlines
Pros:

Very central location & staff were lovely. Friendly and helpful without being too much.

Cons:

If you have a view on to Main Street from your room, it can be very noisy if a weekend, in to the wee small hours.
