I had a lovely stay at the Caledonian Hotel in Portree. The friendly staff made me feel welcome, and the location in the town center was incredibly convenient for exploring local shops and restaurants. My room was clean, comfortable, and surprisingly quiet, allowing for good rest. However, I did face challenges with the stairs since there's no lift, which might not be suitable for everyone. Overall, I'd definitely return for another visit! 😊
