Unfortunately the toilet did not flush , no staff available to report too until we checked out in the morning. They did say they would check it however, it was rather inconvenient . There is no bar available in the hotel . Great location - shame about the overall condition and lack of maintenance

Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
Whilst we were given an early check in our room was far from clean. Hairs in the sink and toilet. Cobwebs on the walls. Windows were mouldy and looked out onto waste ground. Rooms either side of us through the night were incredibly loud, several calls made to reception but no answer so staff did nothing to resolve this.

Lovely staff

Staff were very friendly and helpful. Room was fine for what we needed. We had dogs with us. We had dinner in the bar, it was ok. But we decided not to stay for breakfast. Great for getting the ferry. The hotel is old and needs a lot of money to spend on it but the owners are trying. We would stay again as it’s affordable and very friendly.

On arrival we saw a sign saying that reception was closed (30 minutes after check in started) but a member of ataff came from the bar to help. Very helpful and showed us up to our room. Our room was on the second floor with no lifts, but managed ok. Hallway stank of smoke, I assume a fellow guest was smoking in their room as no smell in rest of hotel. Also they must have been doing it again first thing this morning as we woke up smelling cigarette smoke in our room. We couldn't find any staff to tell until we checked out this morning. Room was lovely and big. While I appreciate that I booked the economy room option, it was very tired looking and not worth £77 for the night. Stains on walls, in bedroom and bathroom. Stained hand towel hanging in bathroom. Stains behind kettle and all over the coffee/tea sachets. Loose and wobbly plugs. Bed mattress lumpy and not comfortable. The bedside lamp next to the bathroom let out a high pitched buzzing noise and I dont think its safe for use. I had a shower and the dial is fitted upside down and flitted between scalding and freezing. The door also didnt close properly in shower so i kept hitting myself. No shower gel or shampoo. I have taken pictures of the issues but can't see how to upload on Expedia. Overall just feels dated, tired and in need of manitenance. I saw in other reviews that some rooms have been updated so possibly others will be done in future but I wouldn't stay here again unfortunately.

Enjoyable stay

We arrived to no electric at the hotel due to storm Bert. Fortunately the electric wasn’t off for long, and we were shown to our newly refurbished room. It was nicely decorated, with a large bathroom and shower cubicle. The bed was comfortable and the room warm and it was quiet. The only downside was I paid for a sea view room but did not get this. I got a room overlooking an over grown garden.

Really friendly, helpful staff. The hotel was right across the road from the car ferry to Gourock, which was the reason we chose it. An old-fashioned, impressive building - but be aware that there is no lift to the upper floors. We had a nice seaview room, and the beds were comfy. Check-in/out was easy too.
