"This was an amazing stay. Excellent, clean rooms, and the courtyards were relaxing. You will seldom encounter such a warm and inviting hotel staff, from the desk, to the bar/restaurant, to the in-room service. Location is perfect. Slightly away from city center so it’s quiet, but, located right on the river, the walks into town are short enough to enjoy multiple times per day. Highly recommended if you’re looking for an upscale experience in Inverness."
