Review of arrochar hotel

Ill start with the good points of the hotel.

Ill start with the good points of the hotel.

The hotel is located on the side of Loch Long and has spectacular views if your lucky enough to get a Loch view room.
The food on offer was well presented and you have a reasonable choice.

Now the not so good

After checking in and entering my room, I had to go back to the car park to check that the car I'd arrived in wasnt a DeLorean.
Yes you guessed it the hotel is a little dated and I thought I'd gone back in time, not quite 1955 more like 1975.
Whilst I can see past the retro decor and the kind of pictures your gran has on the wall, i cant see past the cleanliness or lack of it in places.
Skirting boards, wardrobe doors and shelves, mirrors, even the windows to the outside world were all below even the most basic standard of cleanliness. The light in the bathroom had dead insects in it and carpets needed replacing, radiators re painting etc. The electrical items also need a more up to date PAT test for safety

The attitude of most of the restaurant staff was excellent, however there was one person whose attitude was a little off with the customers. He gave me the impression that customers are getting in the way of his life and that he doesn't really want to be there. In fact as one customer left they said thank you and his response was "yeah right see ya" said in a manner that came across as thank god you've gone.

This could be a great hotel in a great location if it was brought into the 21st century
