Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is conveniently located close to the town center, making it easy to explore Inverness. The friendly service staff made my stay pleasant, although there were some noise issues with the lack of sound insulation in the rooms. The dining experience was a mix of delicious steaks but lacking attention to detail in other dishes. The facilities offered were decent, but the value for money could be improved.
The hotel offers spacious and clean rooms, along with warm and helpful service. The location is perfect, just a short stroll from the center of Inverness, with plenty of free parking available. The dining experience is top-class, with welcoming staff. However, room cleanliness, especially the bathroom, can be improved, and some areas like the floor and skirting need attention.
My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The rooms, though comfortable, were in need of some refurbishment and felt basic. The service was a mix of being brilliant at times but lacking warmth on other occasions. The location was excellent with sufficient parking, but the hotel could use some renovations. The dining experience was good but could have been more inviting. Overall, it was an average stay with room for improvement.
