Park Hotel

We attempted to find a restaurant in Thurso to eat in, but none looked inviting. Thus, we ate at our hotel. The food was good. Thurso is a best overnight location for the Scrabster to Stromness ferry, but otherwise does not appear to be an interesting town for a tourist. Tip - The Northlink ferry experience was excellent.

Pros: It was the best hotel in Thurso with vacancies at the time. It is convenient for taking the Orkney ferry. We had to leave early in the morning to catch the first ferry before the hotel served breakfast, but an early continental breakfast was prepared.

Cons: Room window opened onto a busy highway. Window opened only a little way, and the weather was hot. However, desk clerk told us how to overcome the opener restriction, so that we could open it all of the way.
