The place is great at a great location. The breakfast was great too. Too bad that we just got to stay for 2 nights definitely plaining to come back ❤️❤️❤️
We had an amazing stay at this hotel! Staff are fantastic, Manager upgraded us to the suite, we felt very lucky and fortunate! Spotless rooms and very comfortable, tasty buffet breakfast. Excellent location in front of the river and newly upgraded Inverness Castle and surrounded by shops, restaurants and bars. The best place we have ever stayed in Inverness!!! Thank you!!! <3
Great location with fantastic view of the Castle across the river.

The exterior of the hotel is shabby with rusty railings. Bathrooms need updating.
Very handy location. Comfortable beds.

Room was very comfortable with beautiful views of the castle. Amenities were nice and the hotel was in walking distance of everything we needed. Only issue was the drain on the shower kept clogging so we just needed extra towels bc the floor would get very wet.
