Would not go again
Pros:

Good location

Cons:

We booked a 27m2 room but it was only 14m2. The staff insisted it was a Superior Room. We forfeited one of our three nights and went home early. Generally shabby hotel.

Disappointed.
Pros:

The room was spacious with 3 chairs. Unusual in our experience.

Cons:

The dinner menu. Not changed over the week. No dietary provision eg gluten free, diabetic.
No table for us on Friday when we arrived at appointed time. Large bus party in. We had been overlooked/ignored.
No toilet brush provided!! Unheard of.

Adequate for two nights but would not stay longer.
Pros:

Easy parking. Bed was very comforatble. Pool was very clean and perfect for a short swim. Some staff were friendly and helpful.

Cons:

Room was not well planned out. Tiny shelf for tea and coffee facilities. Very hard and uncomfortable armchairs. Buffet part of breakfast only worked well when only a few guests were using it. When busy there was a long wait for slow toaster and buffet items were not replaced quickly enough (bread, croissants etc..)

A pleasant stay overall.
Pros:

We had dinner one night which was quite nice and breakfasts were also good. We appreciated the lift as my husband has a walking stick.

Cons:

Room was quite small as well as the bathroom. Shower over the bath causes more problems with water all over the floor. There was no body wash, shampoo or conditioner except a very small bar of soap that could have been used for body and hair.
Lucky for us I had my survival kit with me which included all of the above and more. The room we’re in now in Oban is smaller 😩but since being in Europe I’ve realised that anyone going overseas needs to book at least a superior room, not standard if you want more room.
