good selection breakfast selection large parking lot ample parking quick staff response uneven floor bathroom floor shabby decor poor decor unfinished building work
The breakfast offered a great start to the day. There was a good selection available. The parking lot was large, so finding a space was never difficult. The staff responded quickly when i needed something..
The bathroom floor felt uneven and made a severe noise when walked on. It felt unstable. The decor inside the hotel looked shabby. It was obvious some building work remained unfinished..

Lovely Highland Getaway!

helpful staff comfortable room local area
The staff offered helpful tips for exploring the local area. They were particularly kind about storing my medication in a fridge! The hotel itself was excellent, and my room was very comfortable. I appreciated the staff's friendliness so much.
My room was quite basic, though large. The floorboards felt uneven and creaky! This.
