Disappointing
Disappointed overall This was advertised as an accessible room ROOM Bed very soft and bouncy not supportive for those with balance issues all pillows were firm No plug sockets near the bed so overnight medical accessories and equipment could not be plugged in No dressing table mirror just a long mirror on wall with hairdryer next to it no shelving for dressing table items/ make up brushes etc No main lighting just lamps so room quite dimly lit overall so those who are visually impaired may struggle with this Very bright green emergency light over door which could not be turned off illuminated the room all night brighter than when room lights were on No extractor fan functioning in bathroom Shower had one hand held shower hose which was at ceiling height an additional lower hand held hose would have been beneficial Shower had a step so not accessible if person unable to get out of a wheelchair making transfers very difficult No non slip mat in shower only a floor towel BREAKFAST Coffee machine was being cleaned during the first half an hour of breakfast this should have been done prior to service staring Marmite and Nutella available only in a jar which meant multiple people dipping their own knives/spoons into jars not hygienic STAFF Reception ladies were welcoming and swift to attend to issues no concerns or complaints there Thank you

Staff were wonderful and having the opportunity to have a drink and a simple meal at the hotel in the evening was nice. Was close to an incredible restaurant as well. The cons were that it was too far from downtown Inverness to walk and we couldn’t adjust the temperature in the shower which was tepid at best.

Location is within walking distance of a few restaurants and shops. Property was clean and staff was friendly and helpful. The only issue with this hotel is the beds are very very uncomfortable and small. Couldn’t get a good nights rest because they were so uncomfortable.

Great hotel. Exactly what we were looking for. Not really walkable but was close to downtown so made getting the bus or taxi easy and short! Staff was extremely nice! Hotel had a bar and dinner which was great, especially since we got in late one night and really didn’t want to get back out. Food was good and so was the bar!

Hotel is reasonably priced relative to those of similar class in Inverness city centre. There is free parking and the hotel is a short walk from Tesco, Nandos, etc. However, the room condition and breakfast were not as good as a similar class hotel we stayed st in Edinburgh city centre for about the same rate.
