The hotel is old school, and like a thousand others - what makes it soecial are the staff - I will return.
Pros:

Due to CalMac’s revised timetables, my carefully planned rail and ferry journeys failed ti connect - meaning I’d stayed at South Beach on my outward journey (to Arran) just three weeks before, and left positive feedback accordingly. Hence it was the obvious choice for ny return.

Cons:

Absolutely nothing.

Would not recommend ...hated my stay there
Pros:

Location was great. Staff were helpful and friendly.

Cons:

Brochure inside room says all rooms have free WiFi which is incorrect as I didn't. No WiFi at all in my room had to sit in reception which I didn't like. Bathroom blind was broken so couldn't block out neon light shining in disturbing my sleep. Mattress was very soft with central dip. Furniture was stained / dirty.

Comfortable and warm winter stay
Pros:

Very comfortable stay while working in Troon.

Lovely staff who were always on hand if needed. The food in the resturant was really good, with many locals coming in to eat. Always a great sign. The bar was warm and welcoming.

When i return to Troon i will stay again.
