Doning and bar areas were good condition. Windows and frames all a bit tired. Room facilities were adequate. Limited plug sockets in convenient locations. The room was well decorated and clean. The furniture and facilities i.e Bathroom fan were all very tired and in need of upgrade. The restaurant provided a limited menu at dinner. Breakfast was better. Fried eggs were hard and scrambled egg more like an egg custard. Location was excellent.

The main areas are nice, and breakfast was good, but the room was tired and a a bit shabby. Radiator didn't work so very cold. Very thin duvet. Could all use a refresh. Okay but not great for the price!

Staff was nice, although a little unprofessional in the bar area. Property is very dated with worn out carpets, old furnishings, stained tub. Despite poor general upkeep, it appeared to be clean when looking closer. Bed was small and very uncomfortable- could feel springs. We would not choose to stay here again.

The view from the hotel is wonderful but it sits on the main road into and out of Fort William so there is a lot of traffic noise. On one of the nights we stayed, there was a loud conversation outside the building at 1.30 am and people began moving around, banging doors, etc from 5.30 am. There is little sound proofing and the room doors need to be forcefully pulled to close so don't expect to sleep much. Otherwise it is basic accommodation and adequate breakfasts.

The staff was very friendly but the hotel need’s refurbishing. Our room smelled of mold or must. Linoleum peeling up in bathroom, carpet stained, fixtures outdated. Breakfast was good. View was lovely but would not stay again due to mold smell.
