This hotel send message to the client to arrange the late check in but if you dont see it, you have problem because when you arrive they dont take the phone, nobody in the office and you need to search another hotel to spend the night. Never contact me when I tell that I arrive one hour 30 minutes after the check out. If we have a emergency on the road, how can we contact the hotel. If you dont get it message on your phone then you have a big problem. Thats not acceptable.

The West End is quiet, clean, comfortable and was perfect for my short stay in Nairn. It's close to the West Beach and within easy walking distance of the town centre and the station. The staff, Andrew & Louise, were lovely - nothing was too much trouble and they were kind and friendly throughout my stay. I can wholeheartedly recommend.

West end Hotel

I have stayed here on several occasions and, as always, it has lovely staff and was clean and comfortable. However two issues made it a less happy experience than i would have liked. Firstly there was an unpleasant smell in the bathroom. Not what you're thinking but oddly, it smelt like cat pee! The other issue was that my TV and remote were not talking to each other so I had no TV access. A member of staff did try to sort it but eventually gave up with the comment "it does this sometimes". I spent an unhappy two hours Googling and eventually sorted it myself. However, given that i specifically mentioned that I wanted to watch F1 qualifying, that I hadn't unpacked at the time when the staff member was in my room, that this was a known issue and that the hotel appeared to not be at full occupancy, why on earth was I not offered an alternative room?
