spacious room good price closed place long wait
the room was pretty spacious. it had parking available . the location worked well because it was near the orkney ferry. i think the price were very good too, it worked for me.
i was looking to stay just one night and leave quickly the next day. the place were closed when i arrived, so i did wait for the staff for check in. that was not ideal.

adequate but flawed

limited parking basic breakfast
the staff member I encountered seemed competent and handled my check-in efficiently.
The advertised parking turned out to be quite limited. I ended up parking down the street, it was a real nuisance. furthermore, the breakfast felt pretty basic for the price paid, i hoped for a bit more variety or higher quality ingredients.
