    Terrific location for a very friendly hotel !

    Beautiful room overlooking the River Ness. Great little lobby bar serving a lovely selection of whiskies. Paid public parking down the street beside the Cathedral (hotel gives you a room credit equal to cost of parking so.....first drink is in them!)

    Thank Peter B

    For one of the floors the lift kind of stops between floors and then there are doors and stairs. Best to ask for an accessible room if stairs will be a problem.
