Worth weighing
3 to weigh- Some staff inconsistencies — While staff are generally praised, one guest noted a few employees were 'a bit rude,' so experiences may vary.
- Limited check-in window — Check-in is only available between 16:00 and 21:00, which may be inconvenient for late arrivals.
- No specific landmark proximity — Besides Inchmore Gallery, little detail is given about Inverness's main attractions, so guests may need to plan ahead.
