I was on a tour with family and we were to stay in the Fort Williams area. This hotel was on their list. The rooms we stayed in 117 & 118 were clean. The mattresses were old and had the worst nights sleep. Pillows were lumpy and uncomfortable. The bathroom was out dated, and paper thin you could hear your... More

For the price this was more than adequate. Staff tried to help, there is a nice bar, and the room wasn't bad either. Just nothing special I'm afraid. But as you're on the West Coast of Scotland you won't spend much time in the hotel anyway!

We arrived at the hotel just after 3pm, check-in was a bit slow even with two receptionists, but they were dealing with a party of four as Team Reception. The foyer and public areas are well decorated and a lot of thought has gone into the look and style the hotel wishes to convey. As we walked towards our room... More

Easy to find on the main A82 just before the roundabout to Town Center, what you see from the front is the bar on the left and the reception area on the right. So the only bedrooms with a view of the lock are above these. Most rooms are at the back in 2 extensions on the the original building.... More

My partner & I have just returned from a weekend at this hotel & enjoyed our stay there. The hotel is very modern, welcoming & breakfasts were great.
