My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms, unfortunately, were too hot at night without proper cooling options and with poor wifi. It seemed like they could use a makeover. On the bright side, the staff members were incredibly helpful and committed to making our stay enjoyable, although some were a bit rude about breakfast availability. The location was great for exploring the area, but the drink options in the evening were limited. The dining experience had its ups and downs, with some dishes overcooked and lacking variety, yet the hot food was served generously. Overall, a stay with some highs and lows.

The hotel had a super-king-sized bed that was very comfortable, but the room needed serious repairs. It was disappointing that the room looked out onto a terrace and needed updating.

The hotel has a lovely location with great potential, but some aspects need improvement. The rooms are small and could use a makeover, though the live entertainment can be a bit loud. The service is top-notch, with caring and helpful staff. The location offers convenience but needs some maintenance. The dining experience is average, catering mostly for coach parties.

The hotel is ideally located for exploring the Highlands, making it convenient for tourists visiting various attractions. While the rooms might be affected by noise from evening entertainment, the overall experience is enhanced by the delicious hot buffet and the central location for day trips. The patio area could use some attention due to the presence of weeds.
