The location was a great benefit. It has an easy walk to the town center. The River Ness view from my room was quite nice. The hotel offer a spa. It provide a pool, that I use.
My reservation was in their system as a single room. This was different from what I booked. The staff resolved this. I feel this can cause problems if the hotel has many guests.
