Disappointed with the cost of hot tub as being guests in Hotel

Totally unsuitable for a person with a disability. Too may stairs, very small rooms. Bathroom so small knees touched the shower doors when sitting on the toilet. Lift has doors that close too quickly. My husband would be half way out, walking with a walker and get hit by the doors despite my efforts to keep them open. Beautiful views from the front but we were in the back over a car park. I had asked for accessible room and was not told they had none.

It is a lovely refined property , with attentive helpful staff.
We arrived an hour before Check-in, waited 30 minutes for our room to be ready, then checked in. We were surprised with an early checkin fee as we checked out. I don't like surprise fees this should have been explained up front

Quick overnight stay. Hotel was extremely busy with an event going on. Massive crowds of people while trying to check in all through the lobby and bar area. Did dine in and instead of being in the normal restaurant area we were in the area behind the bar overlooking the water, this was fabulous- view and sunset were beautiful. Food was excellent. Hotel is dated and needs some freshening up. Room was ok but toilet was not clean in our room and carpet was gross. A room near ours had room service tray on floor outside of their door when we went in after dinner and it was still there in the morning, this was disgusting and some liquids had spilled over the tray onto hallway carpet. Would not stay here again if in the area.

I had to cancel the hotel two days before arrival. I called the hotel directly. So there should be no payment what so ever regards John Matheson

I was expecting more from the property off the listing on Expedia. The rooms where Ok. They need updating. The staff was just ok as well. Not real helpfull but not rude. The bartender was good. The food was just ok as well. Overall I would give it a 3 of 5 star.

A nice hotel made better by its staff. Wonderful welcome and assistance on where to park and how to avoid the stairs with luggage. Everyone was very pleasant.
Kimberly, at the spa, gave a fantastic deep tissue massage. When told that she should teach massage—she informed us that she does, at a local college.
We loved our stay here.

On check in the Valet parking service turned out to be "Park it yourself on a scruffy plot of land behind the boy scout hut 200meters from the hotel" . Great service in the rain!!!
Told breakfast not included so paid the extra fee --then told we couldn't have breakfast between 7.30 am and 09.30am. Having booked 3 months previous I expected some customer SERVICE. Non existent. Will give this hotel a miss next time.
2.0
Very overwhelmed staff and difficult to park
Not good vibes.
The front is a beautiful view.
We had to go downtown for breakfast. They said they had tour groups coming in and 7 and 10 were the only times available for breakfast~ turned out to be false. Lots of steps to get to lift.
Room was very dark and too small of a bathroom.

Nice relaxing weekend. Easy walking into town

Wonderful, sumptuous, warm, friendly, comfortable hotel! Can’t recommend high enough. If you want peace calm and chill out, it’s definitely the right place
2.0
No onsite parking. The staff is really why the poor review. Extremely uninformative, unhelpful, and rude. The room was very nice with a great view, but the bed was so lumpy and uncomfortable. Food was pretty good, just make sure you double confirm your booking because we had some issues. It’s way overpriced for what you get, the parking is really problematic, and the staff really just made our stay unenjoyable.

Nice and friendly cracking view

Disappointing Hotel which needs updating. Asked for a room on a low floor was given third floor but this was changed on request. No mention's that you can’t pay for anything using cash which was very annoying.

I was looking for a weekend break and my stay at the Oban Bay Hotel was just the ticket.

Across the road from the water. Walking distance to the town. Our excursion was canceled due to weather, so we took advantage of the hotel's spa and tea service which we enjoyed very much.

We were at room 35. Arrived late and took a shower and went to bed. Woke up an hour later, with horrible smell of sewage. The whole room smelled horrible. Slept with the window open and escaped in the morning.
2.0
Three lights in our room did not work and the TV was piciliated. The reception staff on arrival were less than helpful and no one offered a Porter service despite two of our party being middle aged females. We had quite a walk to the lift and to our rooms so a conseuirage would have been appreciated. Dinner was of reasonable presentation but staff service needs to be better. Pricing was expensive.
5.0
beautifully appointed in quiet room. Staff was a ton of any here to help. Meals in the main dining room for breakfast and dinner were most excellent easy walk to shopping area.

Amazing property! Well worth it.
3.0
The receptionist on arrival was unfriendly never smiled. The room had a dirty carpet and was not cleaned to a high standard. It felt like someone had quickly gone over the surface but it needs a deep clean. It had very little parking which was a problem. On the positive side we had a great view of the bay and the breakfast was good. It was ok but for the price I expected it to be better
2.0
Just two spaces for accessibility vehicles both full but the helpful receptionist found us a good alternate. Not a location I’d yet class as “dementia friendly” but, with some additional training of staff the basic good will is there and so there would be hope for a more discerning service.

We visited Oban Bay Hotel from Canada. The hotel is beautiful and charming. It is a great blend between old world and modern. We especially loved the view of the ocean from our room. The staff was wonderful. The restaurant was delicious, and the location was fabulous! I would recommend this hotel to anyone visiting the area.
1.0
Well, there was no valet, no interest in helping us check in, it was 10pm, no parking, no valet at night or in morning, told me where free parking was, a block away in an alley, I discovered, but no directions, no substantive help with directions to elevator, buttons don’t light up, and first floor has a down button only, ordered 3 sandwiches, asked if I’d come get them, no chips, no silverware, no tray, no napkins for in room dining, just 1 plate for the family, in morning the hallway was strewn with piles of dirty laundry, breakfast folks were nice, but all the other staff sighed a lot, wasn’t helpful, not what we expected for the amenities described online
