At check in, I was asked to pay for the stay despite already having prepaid through Expedia. I was refunded promptly once I showed the confirmation email. The hotel room itself is nice and quiet. We stayed in hoping for room service but it was not being offered. Two employees told us they are short staffed and don’t normally work the positions they were in, hence all the confusion. The rate is quite high for the lack of service and amenities you get at the hotel. Next time, I’ll look for a hotel for on the water instead.
Loved the area. Walkable, plenty of stores and restaurants. The best restaurants book pretty quick so if you are interested in one, ensure to make reservations ahead of time. Lovely town
The Marmalade staff went above and beyond in helping us with our dining choices even going to the restaurant to confirm our reservations. The breakfast was delicious. Would definitely stay here again.
Loved Portree and this hotel. Our only suggestion would be to book dining reservations in advance. We BARELY got in for dinner after trying 5-6 restaurants as a walk-up. And this was early in the season (3rd week of April). The brunch at the hotel is great, but I'd also book that early if you want an early start out on the trails.
The hotel is clean and convenient, all in a standard modern style. I usually prefer old school with lots of character, but this was a last minute emergency stop. And what a great choice! The staff were absolutely wonderful - really kind and helpful. We booked late in the evening because a road closure precluded our getting back to our hotel on the mainland. The staff graciously offered us toothbrushes and went out of their way to find a restaurant that could accommodate us at the late hour. So welcoming
All of the staff at this property were lovely. They were all helpful and attentive.
Susanne, at the front desk is a gem. She was friendly, helpful and just so friendly. She had great recommendations for restaurants outside of Portree and was so sweet to our son.
