And older property desperately in need of some general maintenance and renovation. Room small. Front desk staff not thrilled to see us when we arrived and not exactly desperate to help.
I was disappointed in this hotel.
The only area that looked impressive was the pool area, although I never used the facilities as I had other plans.
I was disappointed in the hotel room because there was a drip noise at the window and I could not get to sleep. Damp on carpeted floor. Shower did not come on so I ran a bath. Bed seemed clean and cup and teabags was helpful. But it did not meet up to my standards and I was not impressed with the impression it gave. Guests also woke me up at 1am due to disruptive noise levels including doors closing loudly and voices and I had to complain. Finally, I asked for water staff said I had to use tap water from bathroom but I felt they could have brought water to my room.
Reception staff were all lovely and welcoming! And sports bar food seemed lovely.
First room was above kitchen and the smells affected my husbands sleep apnea machine , staff lovely happy to move us to a different room which was lovely , always clean just the shower was never very warm . Food in the bar was fantastic , atmosphere great . Property is a bit tired . Pool was lovely . No lifts so those on first and second floors can have a bit of a trek to rooms . Great location for travelling around area from .

No warm shower
Arriving to the hotel and not having warm water in the shower is a disgrace! We have read the reviews before arrival about this issue and couldnt believe it..its actually true! Very weak wifi. A lot of noise from room above. Our room was very far from the reception we had to go through 7 doors to get to it! The hotel restaurant was very good and the room had a very nice view.

Good location. Enjoyed both the breakfast and dinner. Service was excellent and staff were very friendly. Room was clean but decor needs updating. Shower and hot water tap not the best and WiFi signal very poor. Didn’t use leisure facilities so cannot comment on that

Have stayed here many times but the quality of the accommodation has gone downhill, the internet service was almost nonexistent, the food was okay but it was only served in the bar. Not good value for what we were charged
walking around the hotel from going from main reception to the rooms, the ceiling is in poor condition with bits falling down, breakfast for £29 extra was not worth the money at all

Comfortable but needs a little upgrading. Bar good and food decent
First night waiter gave us food for another table not just us but other tables were getting wrong food for different tables both night. Someone commented it was like faulty towers. Morning breakfast was cold l was told to dig deep and l may find warmer food did not try cook breakfast the following day as was put off by first experience. Room light flickered on an off so could only use lamp. Carpet was thread bare. Cold shower not sure if this was because l was showering before 7am hot water may take time to come through pipe work. Whole experience was terrible. Please check out room 309. When leaving was not asked by staff if l enjoyed my stay. Possibly worse experience l have had in the last 37years TERRIBLE. Only positive is location very handy for Ben Nevis climb. I apologise as have never done bad review before.
Overall hotel is old
Rooms need renovating
There is no lift access to rooms on the 1st floor, which can be a bit inconvenient when you have luggage to carry
Restaurant within the premises was good!
The hotel is dated & is need of an upgrade. We had to change rooms cause the sink was nearly fallen off the wall. The Staff were not very friendly especially on check in and check out.
