“GRACIOUS HOSTS AND A DEEP SLEEP!!!”
+A WARM WELCOME ON MY LATE ARRIVAL AND OUTSTANDING DELIVERY OF CARE FOR MYSELF AND MY FOUR LEGGED FRIEND WHICH INCLUDED NO "EXTRA" FEES FOR PARKING ON SITE. I WAS ALLOCATED A LARGE ROOM WITH FANTASTIC VISTAS OVER THE BAY AND ISLES TO ENJOY A FABULOUS SUNSET AND A QUIET CLEAR MORNING SUNRISE WITH PLENTY OF TEA AND COFFEE FROM THE TRAY TOO!
−DELIGHTED TO SAY THERE WAS NOTHING I DIDN'T LIKE.

“It suited me in that all I really needed was a bed. I would not recommend this to any of my friends.”
+Ideal location on sea front. Easy walk to town shops and restaurants etc.
−This hotel has been up for sale for some 2 years. It was clean and bed comfortable. However everything was dated and very tired looking. The current owners are obviously not spending any money on updating etc. The single room I had was very small and not a place to spend time. Shame really because the location is superb.

“Was a nice introduction to a new town.”
+The beds were comfortable, the view was outstanding (for the sea-view room) "dinner" was good, the location -- you get the vibe of 'long walk along the beach' with where the hotel is located.
−The Internet connection around the hotel (bar the reception area) was choppy and quite choppy.

“I didn’t have high expectations after reading the reviews but it was considerably worse”
+Free parking , Good location
−Overpowering smell of horrible smelling air freshener everywhere Outdated furniture and decor Bathroom a bit cramped , shower just dribbled after initially being turned on , extractor fan smelt like it was blowing foul smells into the bathroom.

“Adequate but disappointing. I was glad to have somewhere for the night and glad to escape, early.”
+The room and hotel were adequate for an emergency one-night stay . . . just.
−The hotel could have been warmer. It was as if the management had not been prepared for a normal Scottish October. The room (#6 single), although adequate, was in a very poor state and very much in need of an upgrade. It probably hadn't been touched for several decades. Actually, the entire hotel was similarly 'tired' (and chilly). While I was cleaning my teeth, a drip fell on my head. Looking up I could see a large blister on the ceiling. It was raining and the roof must have been leaking - fortunately into the basin. The damage was old and had been left unrepaired for ages. I feel sure other guests must have noticed and mentioned this in reviews. They might also have mentioned the unusual, strongly sprung door at the top of the stairs, right on the edge of the step - distinctly hazardous, particularly when you're weary and struggling with luggage.

−Absolutely everything . It was worse than a homeless unit
