"This was an ideal place for an overnight stay before the ferry. Although the room is compact it is comfortable and well-equipped. I emailed before arrival and was sent the code to open the door (although we couldn't get it added to Google wallet, the web app worked fine, which was a relief arriving in torrential rain). Although there is some noise from people coming and going, this did not go on late and we slept really well. Room was clean and had air con. No parking but many car parks in Oban are free between 18.00 and 8.00 so this wasn't a problem for an overnight stay. I would definitely stay there again."
