My experience wasn't as bad as other reviews. It's a 2* property, so don't have too high expectations. The staff were friendly, the room reasonable (had a bath, which is great after a day's hiking), breakfast was good, facilities a bit old fashioned but comfortable. It also has a rather faded leisure centre with gym, pool, sauna, if you can drag your aching limbs there.

Disappointed. Shame on you Orbitz for not vetting your properties. This place is run down and falsely advertised. Room 105- oldest bedding and furniture seen since 1970’s. No heat for 2 days. Maintenance never came. Shower barely has pressure and cold water never got beyond lukewarm. The pool and gym were the only attractive thing about this place. Don’t book beyond £70 per night - it’s not worth more. Location is perfect and ample free parking.

Its not the staff fault, they do a good job but i dont feel the manager/owner inspres of motivates as this place certainly needs a lick of paint - thats an understatement. Loud music all night i could hear from my room as there was a private function. Overall, 2 stars is beyond generous, but the staff are doing their best in tough conditions.

In general, the hotel, for one or two nights is okay. Positive: The pool and spa for sure was the best and there is a good gym. Great location in the middle of the city, walkable distance of the market and coffee place and enough park. Negative: The hotel need a better maintenance (paint peeling off), the bedroom and bathroom really simple, but ok, no AC, no mini bar and no USB or type C plugs (Need the UK adapter). At least a ice maker in the hallway would make better (baby's bottom of milk and baby's food)

Very sad dated property which with a few areas worked on could be passable. Gym - kit missing or just old and clunky. rower strap on foot missing, battery operated readout not working (easy to replace battery), no spray to disinfect after usage. Pool area was fine and i can see this might be the only area i enioyed of the hotel in room smelled foosty and damp, condensation on the window which was fine when aired. but then at 10pm both nights a random wail comes from the recyling bins. never found out what this was but enough to close window. bathroom was very sad with stains, holes in floor, mould in places, and just old. two barmen were arguing at each other in front of public and one member charged a member of public £26 for a steak despite it saying £22 in the menu. bloke just went oh well i pay. upon arriving i was in my business suit so was recommended the restaurant then went to change into joggers and a jumper and upon arrival some snotty nosed french guy said "oh sir would you like to see the bar menu". i asked if there was a dress code for the 'fine dining' (which was tables set against the backdrop of the morning buffet. he said no so i replied i will sit here thanks. food was average. not fine. just ok. was leaving on my last day at 6am so asked for a packed brekkie. lady said yes fine please come and see me on friday. saw her on friday at 910pm. was told orders needed to be in by 9pm. i just laughed. crap hotel. naff staff. wont go back

Good for a stopover
This was a stop off on a longer journey chosen for it's location. The staff are lovely and the rooms clean, however the walls are paper thin and because of the coach tours its very noisy at times. A bit far out of Fort William to walk in but it is doable if the weather allows. It's clean and practical for a one night stop. Decent buffet breakfast.
