I paid £85 for the smallest single room possible. I was in Orkney on business and arrived before check in . There was no flexibility on room access and I changed for my business meeting in a toilet, left my bag in the hotel and checked in afterwards. My bed was awful. Creaky and uncomfortable. The shower was poor. The temperature was either cold or boiling. The soap dispenser was broken. Room facilities were not worth £85. Breakfast was better. The breakfast room was nice, food good and pleasant waitress.
