I had to depart before the complimentary breakfast was served but it looked plentiful and fresh. If you’re looking for basic overnight accommodation then this should suit."

AC Hotel by Marriott Inverness

10/10 Excellent

"Great shiny and new hotel with fantastic staff who were super friendly and helpful. Only a few minutes walk from the station so quiet and private location by the river. Room was great and had all mod concerns. Only downside was there was a fair bit of noise from building work happening on the external building but it was only in the daytime. Would happily stay there again."
