Un grand hôtel suranné mais calme, adapté à quelques jours de repos.
Pros:

De grandes chambres calmes. Un bon dîner, avec un service efficace.

Cons:

La décoration vintage et l'ambiance "tourisme de cure thermale" surprennent, sans que rien ne soit franchement médiocre

Pros:

Grande chambre, très grand lit, Et la propreté de la chambre.

Cons:

Personnel pas du tout sympathique et serviable. Sauf à l'accueil.
Les espaces extérieurs et l'entrée de l'hôtel ne sont pas entretenus.
La présentation des aliments au petit déjeuner n'est pas avenante.
Impossibilité de dîner au restaurant le soir. Nous avons dû manger au bar, nous n'étions pas bien installés et le repas était servi froid.

An overnight stop
Pros:

The staff at the desk were all very pleasant and hospitable. The breakfast staff were very kind and helpful, polite and friendly.

Cons:

The place needs to be updated. The rooms need refurbishing and the bathrooms need to be renovated. The carpets throughout the hotel and staircase need to be replaced or removed. The breakfast was sad but thankfully the staff at breakfast were very kind, helpful and friendly.

Spacious rooms and great parking, but overall the stay felt a little underwhelming.
Pros:

The rooms were very spacious, and the parking was excellent. We also received a warm welcome from one of the staff members when we arrived.

Cons:

Unfortunately, the hotel felt quite dated and some areas could use a bit more attention and updating. Overall, it just didn’t quite live up to our expectations.

value for money, big rooms, good breakfast. Go to the Timotin distillery which is very close!
Pros:

big hotel, dated, but very comfy. Rooms are huge
breakfast is very good for the scottish standard
definitely value for money
24hrs concierge, you can check-in at any time and that is definitely convenient if you are coming from Inverness or the glencoe area

Cons:

they could do a little bit more in terms of contacts with the distilleries in the area, which are the to go destinations.
once renewed/refurbished, the rooms will be amazing

Comfortable room. Excellent breakfast.
Pros:

Clean, friendly staff at breakfast which was extremely good. Good location.

Cons:

The property is a little run down in places (bathrooms and carpets). Booked for dinner in restaurant but it was closed when we came down. We were told we could eat in the bar but it was very rowdy and the only table available was not clean. We ate elsewhere.
