Room was nice enough - nothing fancy, but the beds were comfortable enough and the window opened very large (great during the heat wave).
Shower was not the best - the hose is not really movable, and the temperature seemed to vary easily.
Breakfast buffet, including hot food, was included, which was great to have, though it was not amazing food.
Parking can be limited, but reception was able to provide alternatives if the lot and street parking were full - overall, no issue with parking.
There is an attached bar that was enjoyable.

One of our rooms was not clean, particularly the bathroom. The beds were not comfortable, and it was overall clear that this hotel has been given minimum required maintenance for some time, rather than true upkeep.
There was screaming and fighting in the hotel courtyard until 1 am when management was able to quiet the individuals involved.
This hotel may have been adequate were we not led to have higher expectations.
We left early despite being charged for 2 nights.

The dog on the counter is not taxidermied. He is alive and friendly. This hotel is a bit dear in price but it has its charm.

Overall, this property was what we needed for the night we got onto Skye. We found the staff to be helpful and the bathroom was updated. While the room itself seemed older and was small, the furnishings were new enough and it was clean. We thought this was a good value hotel for the money especially considering the breakfast that was included which provided many options. The location was convenient as well.
