B&B HOTEL Inverness
Nice welcome, and ideally placed for being in the town. Room was good, clean and worked well for us. Breakfast was just okay, possibly would have been better but we followed a very large group. Would use it again without hesitation.

Kingsmills Hotel
The staff was wonderful, very nice and quick to respond. The outlets by the bed are quite old and did not work with my travel adapter. I had to get an extension cord from the front desk in order to be able to use my breathing machine.
