Nice view from the front of the hotel - have to pay extra if you want that view from your room. Bar and restaurant located in the hotel however the staff we encountered working the bar was not friendly or helpful. Food was good. Room only had one usable plug to charge phones, etc. Room was hot.

No room fridge or ice machine.

Service at bar area was for the most part fend for yourself. Staff was not friendly.

Decent but in need of an update
The hotel was about a 10 minute drive from the city centre of fort william, right in the loch with ample parking, a restaurant and bar. The hotel itself was quite old fashioned with, the lifts and beds were squeeky, carpets old and there was a plastic border under the window that had fallen off revealing debris. Some plug sockets near the bed would also have been handy. It was a decent hotel and good location, could just do with a sprucing up.
