Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is conveniently located right next to the high street and town center, offering easy access to various interesting places in town. The rooms, although dusty and possibly more suitable for a single occupancy than a double, feature a unique built-in lift. The service is a mixed bag with some staff being incredibly polite and accommodating, while others may not be as friendly or helpful. Despite some issues, the manager stands out for being exceptionally nice and helpful when needed. The dining experience varies from average to very good, with freshly cooked options contrasting with limited buffet choices. The location is a major highlight, providing a perfect setting to relax and socialize over drinks. Extra charges are minimal, and the hotel is conveniently situated just a few minutes away from the train station and town center.
My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The room, although spacious, had a disappointing view of a wall, old and worn-out appearance, and rough sheets. On the bright side, the bed was large and comfortable for a good night's sleep. The service provided by the staff was friendly and helpful, though some aspects were lacking. The location was convenient for exploring the town, despite some noise below our window. The dining experience was satisfactory, with quick service but room for improvement. Overall, the facilities offered met basic needs but didn't stand out.
My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The location was great for walking into town and enjoying views over Loch Linnhe. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, even offering us a fan for our room. However, the room itself was disappointing with worn-out furnishings and cleanliness issues like stained sheets and a dirty bathroom. The dining experience was hit or miss, with excellent food but specific requests needed. Overall, a mixed bag experience.
My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The rooms were not very spacious and in serious need of updating, located in a damp, dull annex; however, they did have the 3 beds as advertised. The service was good and helpful, but there were some instances of rudeness towards foreign guests. The location was ideal for a stopover on a long journey, being at the edge of town center and convenient for walking or driving to nearby sites with free parking. The dining experience was mediocre, with basic-tasting food and no engaging conversation from the staff. Overall, some improvements are needed, but there is potential for a better stay in the future.
I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms were spacious, clean, and offered a stunning view of Loch Linnhe. However, the room was uncomfortably hot even though the radiator was not on. The location was ideal for enjoying Loch views, but there were various problems and defects present throughout my stay.
