Staff person at check in was rude. Rooms don't have air conditioning and couldn't open windows. A fan was provided. Beds were comfortable. Room was very clean. Hotel is dated but that's to be expected because it is historical. Location was great!

Quite possibly the smallest broom closet I have ever stayed in. Likely because I booked through expedia that we got the smallest room ever. The window would not open to let in fresh air. Very stuffy and warm at night, and thats saying a lot for Scotland.

Very bad experience in here
This was a first time to visit Inverness. Chosen this hotel because it’s convenient and saw the pictures that’s great in the web site. We checked in late and there was no any car park space. But I ask the receptionist and he said it was ok to park next to another car but not occupied the taxi waiting area, so far there was no any taxis at that moment. Unfortunately I got the memo with the bad words in the next day morning. If there was not available to park the receptionist shouldn’t allow me to park and I can find another car park. The water tape is horrible and not user friendly. I need to twisted my hand to wash. The room windows couldn't open it and I can’t breathe while sleeping. The main lobby is looking good. Looking like to visit the historical site.

TV was not working, told receptionist on the first night. He came to fix but couldn’t. Said it will be fixed the next day but no one came. Told receptionist (different one) the next day about TV again, she was unpleasant. I told her the hotel review will not be good, she said sure go ahead, did not offer any apologies! Hotel was old and tied, windows were painted shut, room size was good, location was good
