Don't stay here

We did not receive the room i paid for. I paid for an executive room and only received a standard room. It did not match the descriptions on the website. They allowed us to change rooms but neither room was what was in the descriptions of an executive room. Front desk staff and manager insisted that the room we received was an executive room. In addition every room we looked at was either dirty with mold in the shower or something was broken i.e. shower doors, or shower heads. It took 20 minutes to fill the bathtub with water, not enough water flow.

I booked this hotel cos it is near the Inverness cathedral where was the meeting point of my tour. It’s my first time to stay in a heritage hotel. Clean and spacious room, good breakfast. The only drawback is no USB charge port in room.

Beautiful 200 year old hotel with lots of character. We were upgraded to a suite which was amazing. Enjoyed sitting in our bay window overlooking the river and people walking the streets. Excellent location. Just across the bridge to the town centre. Street parking nearby which was free after 5:00 until 10:15 the next day. Good breakfast. Staff at reception and breakfast were very personableu. Cleaning staff were great too.
