Plenty of parking. Thin walls, though, which meant you could hear everything, and I mean everything people are doing next door. Convenient location as the start of our travels in scotland. Rooms were right size for our family. Staff was amazing! Breakfast was better than most placed I'd say. Would stay again.

We enjoyed our stay. We took the bus into and back from the downtown part of Inverness easily. The hotel isn't the newest, but the bed was more comfortable than some other hotels we stayed in during our trip to According. The staff were friendly and helpful. My guy really loved the haddock at the restaurant, and the free breakfast was nice. It was a bit hot during our stay (very uncommon), so while a fan would have been nice to cool is down at night, we got by with an open window. We'd stay here again.

The room was really nice and spacious, but they really need an elevator (lift) as our room was 2 floors up and I am disabled. Food was excellent- we’re sorry we had to miss breakfast due to an early flight. Staff was very helpful.
