My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms were clean and comfortable, but in need of updating. The service was welcoming and attentive, but the dining experience was disappointing. The location was great, with a few drawbacks like a noisy exhaust fan. Overall, it's a decent choice for those seeking a convenient stay with friendly staff.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms were terribly dated and drab but clean and in a good location. Although they accommodated my request for a room on the first floor, it turned out to be really comfortable. On the bright side, a good breakfast was provided.

The hotel is in a fantastic location directly on the river Ness with beautiful views of the castle on the other bank. The rooms are comfortable and clean, equipped with everything needed; however, they are not glamorous. The service is wonderful and attentive, although there might be a slight delay in breakfast orders. The dining options are good but could improve by offering more Scottish favorites. The hotel is conveniently located, just a short walk away from downtown Inverness and 'Old Inverness', making it perfect for exploring the area.
