Our room was spacious and comfortable with views directly over the canal. Bathroom was well equipped with a fantastic shower. Free car park for residents and also a cafe downstairs.

The room was newly decorated and all of the contents looked new. Everywhere was clean and comfortable. We hadnt realised that it was a collection of rooms rather than a hotel and we drove round a couple of times before finding the entrance and where to park.
We felt it was overpriced but we had a comfortable stay.

There is no host on site and if you want to reach them use phone or text, neither of these options worked for me. I requested a twin room and got a double bed instead, awkward to say the least.
the location is good, the room was clean. The host, which I called with assistance of my host and their phone at the previous location, was close to rude but did give me brief access information to use later in the day. Which I appreciated.

We stayed one night whilst walking the Great Glen Way. The room was clean and comfortable. Well located right next to the Caledonian Canal. The only minor issue was that options for breakfast in the area were limited until 9am.

You have to walk past a long line of open garbage bins to get to the back door entry to the hotel.
There is an excellent restaurant for breakfast right downstairs. Opens at 9am though which seems rather late for early risers.

Great property, poor details on where directions and where to park. We ended up parking on the road and having to walk in past about 6 dumpsters that smelt badly.

The accomodation was very good great central location and the bedrooms that we stayed in on the back of the building were nice and quiet. Beds super comfortable.
Our only gripe would be the on site manager was quite aggressive. There was a fault with one of the rooms key card locks which meant we couldn't access until a locksmith sorted it. It was eventually sorted but could have been handled much better by him.

Area is nice but a tourist spot that sees a lot of traffic without the infrastructure to support it. The hotel is clean and decent for a nights stay but the person in charge is rude. He was rude about the check in process which is not listed in the booking. He was inconvenienced when we asked for a second towel for the room when only one was provided. The room also did not provide more than one packet of coffee when the room is setup for two guests. No local stores open before 8am so there is no other options for getting coffee before then.

Great location and comfortable beds. Great shower. Host was curt. Not hospitable at all. Website and Expedia said breakfast option for full Scottish breakfast for a fee from 7:30-9:30 was not an option. The host acted like we were stupid when we asked for it. There is a restaurant below the rooms that you can order off the menu, but not until 9:00. Very misleading. We had 2 rooms reserved. One room only had 1 drinking glass with no way to get another. There was no housekeeping or a way to replenish towels and tea/coffee as mentioned on website.
The view out our window was lovely as we could watch boats go through the locks. Walking distance to everywhere in town.

If sleep/comfort isn’t important….
The bed was very hard on our backs, so we did not sleep well. The slanted roof made it difficult to walk around the room without hitting one’s shoulder or head. The room was tiny.
