AC Hotel by Marriott Inverness
Let down by housekeeping. Wanted our room serviced each day but arrived back with bed not made, cups and glassed dirty. Foreign lady came to clean our room whilst we were in it. Could not speak English. Asked her to make the bed but she just went out and came back with a mop and mopped a tiny bit ...

The Garrison
The rooms were very comfortable and clean. The staff did a great job making us feel welcomed and making sure that we had everything we needed for our stay. It was a short walk to a great selection of restaurants and bars (pubs). We had a great stay at this hotel.

The Kenmore Club
Lovely house. Pool was far too cold to go in both nights we were there. Jacuzzi was working first night which was good but wasn’t available 2nd night. Limited hot water in the house which wasn’t enough for 2 people to bath without waiting 20 minutes to reheat

Inverness City Suites
Lovely location in centre of Inverness. The apartment was spotless and well thought out for a comfortable stay with great communication from staff. Double windows in the bedrooms work really well for a peaceful night sleep.
