Guest Ratings & Reviews
The hotel's location is great for central Inverness, but the rooms had some issues with noise and smells. The service was friendly but lacked information about the area. The dining experience was a mix of enjoyable and below expectations, and the facilities were average.
The hotel had its pros and cons. The rooms were basic, old, and had hot and airless conditions. On the flip side, the location was very good with some warm Scrabbled egg issues. The service was top-notch with exceptionally friendly staff. Dining was decent but slightly below expectations for the price. The facilities were satisfactory, including services like room service, dry cleaning, and laundry.
The hotel's location, right next to the town center, made it worthwhile, although aspects of the room were concerning. The service was excellent, and the dining options were great. However, the room was dated, with maintenance issues and lacking basic amenities.
The hotel offers spacious rooms with a seating area, though lacking views and needing upgrades. The service was top-notch with accommodating and friendly staff. The location is convenient, being close to the town center, but the poor ventilation was a downside. The dining experience provided a good variety of options, including complimentary bread. The facilities need upgrading, but the free parking was a plus.
My stay at the hotel was overall a pleasant experience. The rooms were comfortable and always clean, making it easy to unwind after a long day. The staff was friendly and helpful, ensuring excellent customer service. However, there were some concerns with the cleanliness of the top-level areas, and the lack of certain amenities like black pepper mills was noticeable. The location was convenient for exploring the Highlands but lacked some modern touches. The dining options were varied, although I did not eat at the restaurant. The facilities were satisfactory.
