Very very very poor value

First, I get that August in Scotland is expensive. Everywhere. But a down at the heel Travelodge is a more attractive and charming lodging than this travesty of a hotel. Terribly stained rugs throughout the property. Lifeless, corporate decor. Decent but overburdened staff. Room had a comfortable bed and good bedding but all else was concrete block walls covered by decaying paper, a few wall stains, exposed piping, dirty windows. Pathetic value for nearly 200 quid. The French corporate owners should be ashamed of themselves pawning off this aging relic on tourists at extortionate rates.

We stayed there at a particularly hot period. As the building has no air conditioning, the windows had to stay open. Our room was opposite the main street and the noise from outside goes into the early hours of the morning. Earplugs were required. No fridge or safe was provided in the room. The hotel is in a great location within walking distance of many restaurants and shops. The car park was large enough for us to always get a paid parking spot.

Excellent location, alright overall

Check-in was extremely slow and not very friendly. Location is excellent - walking from the rail station. The room is good if you’re facing the river as there’s virtually no noise but it has no air con, you need to request a fan, hence it was a bit hot during the night ( it’s summer). Breakfast caters for gluten and lactose intolerant but overall could be better.

Staying in city center Inverness.

The staff at this hotel are amazing-every one of them! The hotel is noisy. I moved to the river side on the third day. Lots of partying out side, very loud, most nights till 2 a.m. The rooms have been redone but are small. The river view is lovely. I was hoping for a quieter place. But the advantage of being in the heart of the city was great. I could walk to anything.
