We recently stayed for three nights at the Premier Inn in Oban. The hotel itself is ideally located for a short walk in to the town centre. Our room was very clean, and the hotel honored our request for a ground floor room. The staff at this Premier Inn is great, especially Lucas and Florentina. They were both very friendly and eager to help us. We had to get extra towels, and it was no problem. Top marks to the staff. We did have one meal at the PI. We had the smothered chicken (No, that wasn't a live chicken being smothered!), which was quite tasty. We did not order breakfast, as neither of us eats enough in the morning to justify the cost. Instead, we opted to get breakfast sandwiches and drinks at the nearby Tesco. Breakfast for two for less than six pounds! On our other nights in Oban, we had sandwiches once again, and excellent fish and chips from Norie's. Parking at the PI in Oban is a real problem. The car park is very small, and the only option if you can't park there (we couldn't) is to street park. That involves having to be at your car prior to 9:00 a.m. and having to either a) move the car, or b) pay to park. We understand that a week after our stay, the hotel was initiating a ten pound per day charge to park in their car park. Much as we'd like to stay at the PI again, due to its proximity to the ferry terminals for Easdale, Lismore, and Kerrera, we will probably try to find other accommodation in Oban. Despite the fact that the hotel is extremely convenient and comfortable, the charge for parking and the inconvenience of street parking makes it a no-go for us.
