No room fridge or ice machine. Was told at check in restaurant was full and could only eat at bar with limited options but there was no selection on website to reserve at restaurant (and I did check prior to check in). 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.

Rude reception staff
The reception staff were extremely rude and said I didn’t have a booking when I clearly did. This caused a lot of stress at the start of my trip.

We booked a loch view room which we got, however there was scaffolding outside. We were not advised about this. We were told at check in if we wanted to eat in the dining room there was no need to book, so we didnt. When we got to the dining room we couldnt get a table because we hadnt booked!! However we did eat in the bar area and the pizza was very good. The room was very basic and tired looking, a bit like a sub-standard Premier Inn. The reception and bar areas had been recently refreshed and looked nice. The breakfast staff were lovely, very efficient and friendly.

A very good stay, value for money.Staff went out of their way to provide me with a walk in shower not a bath. Very convenient on our way up through Scotland and back down again. Would use again.
