We ended up having a studio suite located on exterior of the property. It was very clean, washer/dryer combo we didn’t expect, and an overly large bathroom. The suite was good to relax. Everything looked like photos.

Due to a change in circumstances we had to book a hotel in Oban at short notice. The Scott was one of the few hotels that had a room available for one night. The hotel is located on the main road as you drive into town. The traffic was a little noisy up until 9pm It has parking at the back of the hotel at a cost of £10 for 24 hours. Booking in was easy as the receptionist had all our information at hand and informed us of breakfast availability and location of the room. The room was large, warm, clean and tidy. The bed was a super king size and very comfortable. Shower was powerful and plenty of hot water, large fluffy towels. Quick check out available in the morning. We didn’t have the breakfast. I would recommend the Scott hotel for location, parking, huge bed and friendly service.
