The room I stayed in felt a bit dated. Some areas was to need refurbishment! This detracted slightly from the overall experience.

I visited for a birthday celebration and found the hotel clean. Staff provided excellent service, particularly Donna, Maggie, Adrianna and Georgianna in the restaurant. I requested a window table overlooking Loch Linnhe and staff fulfilled it. I found the room basic yet comfortable.
I noticed that the lounge area lacked warmth and atmosphere.
