Everything here was terrific, even the parking situation worked out fine in spite of the limited off-street spaces available (we parked within a block on-street both nights with no issues). Best gym facility of the seven 4star properties we stayed in during our time in Scotland. Very helpful, pleasant staff, comfortable room, lovely location.

The "palace" on the outside is historically beautiful. The old stone building is worth the visit. The outdoor seating next to the Ness River is wonderful. The walkability over the Ness Bridge into old Inverness is great. Castle is right there along with other historical sites. Inverness seems like a pretty awesome city. The rooms are typical Best Western rooms that you can rent in the US for $100/night. This room cost us $450/night. Had I known that it wouldn't be "luxurious" as described on-line, I would not have stayed. The description is very deceiving. But the outside of the building and surrounding area is wonderful.

Nice old-style hotel, very well maintained. We really liked the high ceiling, the archer in the room, beautiful stucco moldings, the feeling and atmosphere. In the morning, we enjoyed a tasty breakfast. The staff is kind and willing to help. We enjoyed our staying there.

Great hotel although be careful what type of room you book. It seems the standard rooms are in a b&b type property next door without the same amenities and quality of the main hotel. The hotel itself is lovely, great pool gym and spa, lovely bar and restaurant. Some of the staff are a little gruff on first impression but very friendly and professional.

The hotel had great facilities and is a regular choice for us due to location, parking and the facilities. This time our room was behind the spa area. Noisy and not very good.

I’ve never actually written a bad review for a hotel but this one is bad. Avoid if possible. When we arrived the toilet was clogged with bits of *matter* still in it as well as the sink left with hair and dirt in it. When I went to complain they said they’d take care of it and would leave a bottle of wine as an apology. When we came up 2 hours later-the toilet was fixed but the sink still wasn’t clean. To add insult to injury they left a 3£ bottle of 175 ml wine as the apology. The next morning the breakfast service was also poor as the waitress aggressively placed items on the table with the food being very mediocre. For 400 pounds a night it was a terrible experience. The place is poorly run. Avoid if possible

Lovely friendly staff, the soup for dinner was perfect for cold weather. All hotels pay attention, those little sauce, mayo jars? Cute but annoying if travelling. Swap them out like BW did for the sachets - perfect for those on the go!
