Great situation beside River Ness and facing castle..
Overall a bit tired and needing the refurb' which we were told was scheduled, when we last stayed.
Lack of staff for restaurant at breakfast with empty trays not being replenished and no-one to ask.
.
One member of staff, who had been checking customers into restaurant, refilling bread to make toast seen to bring out half of a loaf and with 'bare hands' add to bread receptical (gloves or at very least tongs MUST be used).
Rooms are comfortable enough.

Staff very friendly and efficient. Sadly the cosmetics of the building are somewhat dated. Room was clean and tidy but again could really use a freshen up decor wise.

We did not receive the room i paid for. I paid for an executive room and only received a standard room. It did not match the descriptions on the website. They allowed us to change rooms but neither room was what was in the descriptions of an executive room. Front desk staff and manager insisted that the room we received was an executive room.
In addition every room we looked at was either dirty with mold in the shower or something was broken i.e. shower doors, or shower heads. It took 20 minutes to fill the bathtub with water, not enough water flow.

Great location within walking distance to everything within Inverness. Great views of River Ness and the Castle. Room was cute and spacious but the bed was not comfy at all. Not sure if this was just our room but anytime would flush the toilet or take a shower the plumbing would sound like a barge was coming through - this would go on for the entire shower. It is an older hotel so assumed is just old plumbing but that was super annoying. Additionally someone's dog must of pooped on the entry floor and it was tracked all through and up the steps and they didn't clean it up until the next morning and it smelled awful. No parking but car park within few minutes walk and only 5 pounds a day.
