PROS: Walkable to train, busses, taxis, pubs, restaurants, markets, bridges across the River Ness and shopping! Location was excellent. Unless you wanted to travel outside of Inverness for a sightseeing tour or drive, no transportation is needed in this area. The bathroom was also big with a great shower.
CONS: I think the food at the Blackfriars restaurant right below our rooms was probably decent.. but on our 2nd visit to the restaurant we were taken to a table then promptly ignored for more than 20 min.. we sat and watched multiple servers walk past us many times waiting on other tables but we were completely overlooked. We’d seen this happen to another couple the night before, but just thought they may have been impatient, as they walked out after about 15 min of being ignored; however, once we experienced it firsthand, we realized that sadly, this might be a regular occurrence. To add insult to injury, when we finally had enough waiting, we got up to leave and were asked “how we liked everything?” We explained we never got service and that we were also guests in the hotel. They let us walk out without any explanation or apology. And we never went back there to eat again for the entire week. And they never reached out at any time during our week long stay to try and make it right.
Our room was also extremely small and the floors were VERY slanted and creaked REALLY bad with every step taken, which you could hear at all hours from the rooms above as well.
