The property was beautiful and the staff at reception were great. The only thing I was disappointed in was the parking. I chose this hotel because it offered free onsite parking. There was no parking available when we arrived and were told we had to find street parking. I was not familiar with the area and this is stressful, hoping the car will be alright and we won't have to walk far. Thankfully there was a gentlemen helping with parking who showed us where to go. I just wish we could have parked in the lot like we thought when we booked.

Excellent staff and facilities just a few minor flaws in the finishing touches of the room such as holes in the walls, scuffs and displaced lino flooring. Overall an excellent trip, good food, great cocktails and access to the spa facilities made the trip special. Would recommend ❤️

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.

We had an amazing time in Inverness, thanks to the lovely team at Best Western. Ale at the front desk was so friendly and kind. She was able to book us into a last-minute room after our first accommodations at a different hotel fell through. The rooms were lovely, and provided great views of the river. The daily breakfast was a great add-on and had a beautiful view from the restaurant. We will gladly be back again!
