Reviews and Ratings
My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The location was fantastic, right in the heart of the action, and breakfast was included, which was great. However, the room I was given was tiny and felt quite dated and damp. The staff, while nice, seemed a bit short-handed, making service a bit slow at times.
The hotel had a great location with gift shops nearby and ideal for Loch Ness attractions. The rooms were a mix of spaciousness and cleanliness, with some areas not meeting expectations. The service was friendly overall but lacked in-depth interactions. The dining options were satisfactory but not exceptional. The lack of warm meals was notable.
My stay at the hotel was a bit of a mixed bag. While the location was great for my visit, the rooms were a bit dated and basic. The service, however, was surprisingly friendly and accommodating. The dining experience was enjoyable but slightly overpriced. Overall, a decent stay with some ups and downs.
The hotel had a mix of positive and negative aspects. The rooms were well furnished but had issues like missing light bulbs, dampness, and outdated decor. However, the service was helpful and kind. The location was convenient near major attractions but the dining experience was a bit pricey and not exceptional.
The hotel lacked cleanliness and maintenance with substandard rooms and no breakfast offered at £46 a night, but it served its purpose for a short stay. The service was exceptional, especially from Helen, despite the thin walls. The location was convenient for visiting the nearby exhibition center, though the dining options were limited and not freshly prepared. Facilities were minimal with drawbacks in cleanliness and amenities.
I absolutely loved the mountain cabin vibe of the rooms, it felt so cozy and perfect for a family getaway. The hotel is conveniently located near cafes and other amenities, making it very practical. However, it's clear that the rooms could use a renovation as they seem outdated to me, dating back at least thirty years.
