Columba Hotel Inverness by Compass Hospitality

8/10 Good

"Our room was clean and beds comfortable. The hallways/doors were very dirty. They need to assign a dedicated staff to do cleaning and maintenance every once and awhile. Scrub the doors, touch up the paint. The doors were so dirty I didn’t like touching them to open them. The staff/ reception was wonderful and helpful in every way. The rooms don’t have many amenities, just a kettle. We didn’t purchase breakfast here because the continental was only coffee and cereal, no toast or fruit. You had to order the full hot breakfast if you wanted a simple toast breakfast, the price vs value was not comparable to other hotels continental offerings. The location was perfect! Across from the castle, short walks to everything, and the bus around the corner if you’re a traveller. Lastly they have a late 11am checkout. All in all I was happy with the hotel."

AC Hotel by Marriott Inverness

8/10 Good

"A nice hotel with friendly staff and clean rooms, what the hotel fails to tell you is there is ongoing construction with over half of the hotel covered in scaffolding. There is workers walking up and down the hallways from 0800-1600, in the lift which is small, walking through reception, the carpark is full of construction equipment so you have to park across the road that cost £10 a day. What annoyed me was the lack of information on the construction and the parking. It would be a 5 Stars if it wasn’t for the construction and the lack of information about the construction."
