Norman Bates Motel
Pros:

I believe there was a nice view.

Cons:

If you are looking for a Norman Bates style Motel this is definitely the place for you!

Having prearranged a room that was suitable for my Mothers disabilities (who also smokes) we were given, what can I can only describe as a Motel style room, away from the main hotel, which is officially classed as "Chalet"!

Now. It's important I mentioned, I had booked a room that was non refundable & the booking could not be amended.

As we didn't arrive until after 9.00pm, there was nowhere to park, let alone any Blue Badge paces.
Zero "street lighting" with the only real source of light being passing headlights if you got lucky.
Definitely not ideal for my Mother, but hay ho, we have arrived late & she stayed in the car, while I decided to go & inspect the room before taking our luggage in.

After nearly being knocked out by the smell of urine, as I approached the "Chalet"door & was welcomed by a room that, I could only describe as a battleship grey, glossed painted, straight out of an American horror film. Okay! Everyone has different tastes in decor.

This is where things become more serious, such as the bathroom, that was supposed to be for disabilities, didn't have a single support rail around the toilet or throughout the room in general.
The shower, well, was flaking with rust & was very worn by time, with that annoying ingrained black mold that you get in sealant after time was visible, grey towels etc.

Upon venturing back into the bedroom, the ceiling had a very questionable brown mark (not water damage) that looked like someone had maybe thrown something at the ceiling?
Now (& unfortunately I left my phone in the car, so, do not have visual proof) I can only hope that the small brown spot on the bedding was nothing more than an apple seed, but at this point, I high tailed it out of the room, went straight to Reception to hand the key back.

Quite good but basic place to stay when travelling to/from Orkney
Pros:

This was just a afterthought as we we're able to get the ferry we wanted bak to the mainland from Orkney so we opted to stay the night. Nice thing was that they had pool tables but other than that no frills.

Great location, clean tidy with friendly helpful staff close to town
Pros:

Breakfast was lovely, wide choice, restaurant clean and tidy, staff very helpful. Food in restaurant in evening was lovely, even checking the ingredients as one of the party has an allergy, big car park, close to town to walk into, quiet location

Cons:

the burger was advertised as being in a rustic bun, but was in fact a brioche, which 2 of the party dislike.
