“What strikes me is the character; it is a family-friendly spot with a lively sports bar, not something you see every day. I noted its proximity to Inverness Museum and Art Gallery. Extras like free parking and a full complimentary breakfast, including Scottish specialties, enhance the appeal.”

Acceptable, yet underwhelming
friendly staffmusty smellnoisy bed
The staff was friendly and knew the area well.
The room had a musty smell, and the furniture looked old. The bed was hard and made noise whenever I moved. I found it difficult to sleep. The breakfast service was rather slow too.
The staff was very friendly. the restaurant was super helpful with my wife's gluten intolerance. breakfast was included and it was delicious. we could also have our dog with us for breakfast. That was a nice surprise.
i noticed some tired decor in the corridors. the room needed a little updating, especially the bathroom. but it was still a good stay for me.
