I would say with the limited hotel options in Ft William it was fine. It is an older hotel with an updated room but very small, we had 2 twins. We did not eat there. It seemed booked up at our stay early May 2026

The hotel is VERY basic - imagine Travel Lodge (20 years ago). We had to have dinner there, food was very basic and bland. Breakfast (£12.50) was like a greasy spoon. On a positive note the views from the room were good and the staff were very friendly.
