Inverness Palace Hotel & Spa, WorldHotel Distinctive
Very enjoyable and relaxing stay. When we arrived we thought our room was a little small. When we spoke with the manager about this, she helped in finding us a bigger room at no extra cost. The food was of good quality, but a little limited. Overall I really enjoyed my stay

Columba Hotel Inverness by Compass Hospitality
The hotel is well situated for getting about seeing the sights. It is in need of some TLC but having said that, the rooms are all clean. The staff are extremely friendly and can’t do enough to help.
