Despite the friendly welcome and attention by the young lady who seemed to be receptionist, barmaid and waitress this was a pretty depressing one night stop over experience.
The hotel is in a lovely location right beside the River Ness and just a 10 minute walk from the town centre but it is dated, and needs refurbishing in decor, carpet and furnishings. Dull lighting exacerbated the depressing effect, although the log fire in the lounge did warm the room nicely. To be fair the bedroom was a good size and had a good TV and lots of storage, but a less than comfortable bed. The en suite bathroom was cramped and the shower low on pressure with lukewarm water.
Seeing the place, we elected to have dinner out (the Contrast Brasserie across the river footbridge was excellent). A good decision. Breakfast next morning was good, though, with a decent selection (scrambled egg with smoked salmon was good).
It's a pity this place has been allowed to deteriorate and until it is brought up to date I would avoid it. As a complete contrast we stayed at a Premier Inn the next night, for less than half the price (£29) and it was clean, modern and all round really good.
