For an overnight stay at a budget price, we got what we paid for. The hotel has great potential.
Pros:

The location next to a Ferry terminal was convenient, the building itself is impressive and obvious ongoing improvements can only add to that. Breakfast was full Scottish, served promptly, hot and in a friendly manner though a bit pricey.

Cons:

The room we were allocated overlooked a dug up back yard and had no view worthy of noticing. The en suite was adequate but in need of upgrading. Two faults were brought to the attention of staff when leaving which we were assured would be dealt with.

Pros:

We checked in to the Royal Marine for 2 nights on Saturday 5th September. The room was the Arran Suite which was fabulous, very comfy seating in a large area, really comfy bed and the shower, bath and toilet were all spotless. We had a great seat view from the windows and overall it was a very nice and relaxing room. The breakfast was 5 star and dinner was most enjoyable. From arrival to departure, all staff were very welcoming and friendly, Steve especially. We would return to this hotel no problem.

Poor
Pros:

Room was clean

Cons:

The person who booked us in should not be dealing with the public. Having a slanging natch and swearing outside our window the next day is unforgivable

Lovely stay.
Pros:

The hotel was well located. The room was clean and comfortable, with a great view. The staff were friendly. The hotel could be described as a work in progress. The new dining room was stunning, but unfortunately the restaurant wasn't open on the days that we were staying and we wished that we had known this before hand. We had thoroughly pleasant and would go again.

Cons:

We would have liked to eat at the hotel, unfortunately the restaurant wasn't open on the days we stayed. Apart from that, the hotel was great.
