This hotel was perfectly comfortable and clean, nothing to rave about but it was good value for money, and you can park for a reasonable price at the church just down the street. There is a milkman cafe right next to the hotel where we enjoyed a lovely breakfast looking out at the river ness and Inverness castle. It is a great location just a few steps away from the main shopping area

Super location for the centre of town which is just across the bridge with great views of the castle from the hotel, there is a Tesco store at the rear of the hotel, very helpful and obliging staff who go out of their way for you, breakfast and evening meal deal is very good value also !

Thomas

Disliked: Room comfort
The check-in was okay but we did not feel as if we were being welcomed, it was simply a clinical check-in. When we entered our room which was described as an executive double room with river view, it was really chilly. There were two electric heaters in the room and only one, the smallest, worked. We had to borrow a portable heater from reception to take the chill of the room. The river view was impeded by the constant condensation on the single glazed windows. McNab's bar was very uninviting so we were only in it for a brief time. The breakfast was a self service buffet, which I would rate as good. There were very few staff members around for us to single out anyone for merit. Any contact we had with staff members was limited. The hotel does not have parking but there is parking nearby for £5.00 per day. The hotel was adequate for the purpose of our visit but I would not rush back.

We had a very large and comfortable room for our stay in Inverness. Just an fyi there was no parking on site but 350 meters away was a car park you are guided to use. Easy and not too expensive for the overnight. The location is excellent for walking around Inverness’ downtown core

Liked: Cleanliness
The room was clean but the bathroom door could not be shut…not very appropriate for 3 in a room… neither could we shower for that reason and also were instructed to keep door shut to prevent setting off the fire alarm. Breakfast was okay on our first morning, but on Saturday morning at 9.10 am there was no acceptable cooked food on display..just 1 sausage, 2 bits of dried up bacon, beans dried up, …no fried eggs, overcooked and dried up scrambled eggs. No fresh fruit either. We had no time to linger waiting for replacements as many others were doing. Very nice reception staff.
