uneven experience near skye

stale pastries slow room service
My stay had some definite low points. the breakfast buffet lacked variety, especially the pastries. They tasted stale. ALSO, the room service was slow, sometimes taking over an hour for a simple order. i found myself walking to the bar ONE NIGHT to get drinks myself because i was tired of waiting..
