Loch Ness Drumnadrochit Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Hotel was clean, the mattress was uncomfy tho.."

Waverley Guest House

4/10 Poor

"This was a minimal service hotel, it was obvious they were cutting corners everywhere they could. There was no one at the desk except around check-in time & random other moments. I never saw any cleaning staff (or evidence they did any cleaning). There was no door tag to ask for housekeeping to clean the room. I have a receipt that a half deposit was paid but they charged the full fee. I asked when someone was there, they checked & said Expedia cancelled the reservation, but it was still active. I will check on that when I am at home on secure wifi. The shower was nasty at the bottom edges and grout lines. I have photos. The shower water was either scalding or icy. No instructions about the hot water booster, or notice that the switch was outside the door. There was less than half a roll of tp & no spare (no one to ask for more). The kettle had to sit on the floor to plug in. Breakfast was all carbs-toast, rolls, cereal. There was milk, juice, fruit. No protein. The breakfast trays still had plastic wrap on them, a sign asked that you stack used dishes on a tray There was a trash can to clear the dishes dishes of food. I never saw a staff person in the breakfast area. Not much effort to make guests welcome was evident. It was as if ghosts were running the place. Staff appeared briefly, occasionally, there was no one until you got lucky to see a glimpse of someone walk down a hall. It could be called Hotel California, except a sign saying to drop your key in a bowl."

Columba Hotel Inverness by Compass Hospitality

6/10 Okay

"Unfortunately, our stay did not meet expectations. We had no power in the room and bathroom during the night and had to use our phone lights. Reception was unable to provide a solution. Breakfast quality was also disappointing, with very limited options. The only positive experience was the gentleman at reception during breakfast, who was very kind and helpful."
