Nice stay at a simple, clean hotel with a cool theme. The room was a bit tight for two, but very quiet at night. Windows opened wide for fresh air which was nice.

We asked for a room with twin beds, got a queen and a pull out, lumpy sofa bed with no quilt. Asked the desk for a quilt, they said just get one out of the closet…well there was no closet in the room. It was in the hall stuffed with stained quilts with the apparent clean duvets on the bottom shelf almost level with the floor. Ew!! Curtains were off track, toilets took 5 button pushes before it would flush. Sign on the shower said to place the mat close to the door so as the water would not enter the main room (like who cares if you fall on the slippery tile, just don’t get the carpet wet). Base if sink not on correctly. No area to place our toiletries in the bathroom.

Good location. And room was decent size although sink in bathroom was the tiniest sink I’ve ever seen. Overall quiet but they do alllow dogs and this poor little dog was whining next to our room. You could hear anyone opening and closing doors. I would give this a 4/5 stars for location.

The hotel was great but we weren't used to such narrow parking spaces, so it took a while to park. We were able to walk to nearby restaurants and shopping.

I will never rate a hotel and especially their suites 4/5 stars if they have problems with their plumbing and it takes forever for water to drain in shower. Ok place, not worth the money.

The apartments are high up a hill with great view of Loch Linnhe. The apt kitchen was well equipped and included a washer dryer. Excellent dining options are a short walk, as are interesting and useful stores. Fort William is central to many of the things the Highlands has to offer.
