Travel Purpose: leisure
Positive: Friendly staff, particularly Nathaniel who waited on us during dinner. Great food, nice location. It's an old hotel and perhaps some of the decor needs some level of updating but totally adequate for our needs. Room had a great view over the Oban and the sea. The lift wasn't working when we were there, which wasn't a particular problem for us.

Positive: Sea front location
Negative: Dirty hand marks on most doors (public and into bedrooms). Bedroom walls and carpets had many dirty marks. Lift not working- hotel made no provision to help older/disabled guests with cases up to second floor- I helped some who were clearly struggling with their cases.
Summary: Great location if you get a sea view room - generally in need of decoration, although cleaning marks off doors, walls an
