Our room was nice, the floor was a little unlevel as with is keeping with an old building. The reception staff was helpful and Stephen in the bar was super friendly. We enjoyed our stay there and would recommend it to anyone staying in Inverness. The location was excellent for city centre and the local attractions.

We only had a one night stay here, but it met all our needs. It was a great stop very close to city center and where we got on our tour bus. Large bedroom with a king bed. It is an older hotel so some age shows on the carpet and such, but it also added character.
