Very Good

We stayed one night whilst walking the Great Glen Way. The room was clean and comfortable. Well located right next to the Caledonian Canal. The only minor issue was that options for breakfast in the area were limited until 9am.
Loved surrounding area, quiet evening but busy during the day, close to dining and great beds

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
You have to walk past a long line of open garbage bins to get to the back door entry to the hotel.
There is an excellent restaurant for breakfast right downstairs. Opens at 9am though which seems rather late for early risers.
Great property, poor details on where directions and where to park. We ended up parking on the road and having to walk in past about 6 dumpsters that smelt badly.
The accomodation was very good great central location and the bedrooms that we stayed in on the back of the building were nice and quiet. Beds super comfortable.
Our only gripe would be the on site manager was quite aggressive. There was a fault with one of the rooms key card locks which meant we couldn't access until a locksmith sorted it. It was eventually sorted but could have been handled much better by him.
Area is nice but a tourist spot that sees a lot of traffic without the infrastructure to support it. The hotel is clean and decent for a nights stay but the person in charge is rude. He was rude about the check in process which is not listed in the booking. He was inconvenienced when we asked for a second towel for the room when only one was provided. The room also did not provide more than one packet of coffee when the room is setup for two guests. No local stores open before 8am so there is no other options for getting coffee before then.
Great location and comfortable beds. Great shower. Host was curt. Not hospitable at all. Website and Expedia said breakfast option for full Scottish breakfast for a fee from 7:30-9:30 was not an option. The host acted like we were stupid when we asked for it. There is a restaurant below the rooms that you can order off the menu, but not until 9:00. Very misleading. We had 2 rooms reserved. One room only had 1 drinking glass with no way to get another. There was no housekeeping or a way to replenish towels and tea/coffee as mentioned on website.
The view out our window was lovely as we could watch boats go through the locks. Walking distance to everywhere in town.
The bed was very hard on our backs, so we did not sleep well. The slanted roof made it difficult to walk around the room without hitting one’s shoulder or head. The room was tiny.
Location and surrounding amenities are fabulous! The food in the Lock Inn was superb.
No communication around who and where we had to be to check in. Managed to find a random cafe worker who was cleaning and he told us the code to the room key and where we could park. He was helpful to be fair to him. We then spent a lovely evening having a few drinks and enjoying an evening cruise of Loch Ness which was FAB.
The rooms are basically a conversion of the shop loft space so not much head room. No hotel contact info or local emergency needs etc. there is no fire escape info of any kind in the rooms, it’s all very dodgy tbh.
With no one to speak to about things and it was late so we tried to get some sleep except at 1am the fire alarm control panel kept us up all night with a high pitch beeping every 5 seconds!!!! As there was a fault with the alarm. Various other guests kept trying to silence his alarm which set the full fire alarms off on at least two occasions.
My wife went to sleep on the car for a bit due to the torture of the beeping. Again, still no one to contact about this at all.
We left the room as soon as the sun was up at 6am.
Clean and comfortable rooms, newly decorated.sits above a cafe and gift shop. Close to everything. Ideal for a few days stay and would recommend staying there if possible. 8 rooms in total
