As always. great stay and great service . Only gripe would be the breakfast . some items sitting out for a long time , dried out , and long wait for items that had ran out . Also the coffee / tea situation has changed and the coffee was awful . Would probably do room only next time

Nice stay in the centre of Inverness

A very convenient location next to the river. Close to everything. Charming Victorian hotel. Carpets need to be replaced, but generally the place was in good shape. Clean. Breakfast was classic buffet, nothing exciting, but plenty to eat and everything tasted fine. Dinner was pretty good. However, there are plenty of restaurants and pubs in the area, so I am guessing many guests are not having dinner at the hotel. The bar (in the restaurant) had a few draft beers and plenty of liquor choices. The staff members were all VERY friendly and helpful.
