We stayed at the Oban Inn for the first time, mid-week. The deluxe king room was spacious, clean and comfortable. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. We did not eat at the restaurant as the prices were quite high and other local restaurants offered better value. Our only issue was the hotel was doing some renovations during our stay beside our room and so hammering at 9am without any notice wasn't appreciated.

Room was clean, quiet and very comfortable. The staff was very accomadating. The only thing I would recommend is to have some music piped into the diningroom. Voices echo which makes having a private conversation difficult.

I booked The Oban Inn for a quick mini escape to celebrate my wife's birthday, and from check-in to check-out, we felt like an afterthought. The "Second-Class Citizen" Welcome The welcome was instantly off-putting. The front desk attendant's first response after I gave my name was to announce, "You booked under Expedia, so you don't get breakfast included." It doesn't matter that I wasn't expecting breakfast—it's the tone that matters. We were made to feel like second-class citizens before we even dropped our bags, which, by the way, we had to carry ourselves, as there were no luggage carts anywhere. Also, not a word of welcome! or happy birthday! Just weird as I had told them over phone and email why we were visiting. The 4:45 AM Wake-Up Call The room itself was nice (and clean), but that's where the praise ends. At 4:45 AM, we were treated to hours of loud noise from the room directly above us. When we complained upon check-out, the staff offered a supremely unhelpful, non-committal apology: "Sorry to hear that, it was not us, it must have been the room guest above." In other words, our problem, not theirs. The Bottom Line Booking: If you want to be treated like a paying guest, book directly through their website. Soundproofing: Be prepared for zero sound insulation. In previous visits to NOTL, we ate at the restaurant and it was very good. So, maybe just go for dinner and book your room somewhere that values all its guests equally.

We LOVED our stay at the Oban Inn! The staff was super friendly and very helpful... even lending me a charger when I didn't have the plug in part to mine. Do take a whole charger and not just the cable as their lamps don't have that option. I just can't say enough about how awesome the staff was. This property is right by Lake Ontario and has amazing views and a brief walk to the lake. I have already recommended this place to multiple people and can't wait to visit again.
