I liked the cleanliness and the quick check in. The room was spacious and the bed was very comfortable. Only downside was the lack of hot water.

The shower had two temperatures - Ice cold or slightly less cold. The cold tap ran hot water and the hot tap ran room temperature. The decor is very dated, worn furniture. As a positive - parking is free and staff are nice.

All was superb EXCEPT for the vacuuming which left a lot to be desired. However the staff everywhere were supremely helpful and friendly. Thanks to our stay at The National Hotel, we were able to contact a taxi that took us to a very small area east of Dingwall to honour our ancestors, so we are still pleased and would stay again.

First night heard music downstairs from our room blast what sounded like the same song with loud beat till 1:00 am. Half owner said there wasn't anything she could do about it. Hotel restaurant food was good and handy to have nearby. Rooms small, but sufficient.

The area around the outside of the hotel and where you parked your car was a bit dirty. The property itself was OK but when we arrived it looked closed up and not very inviting.

Value for money
I was not expecting a lot when I booked but I was pleasantly surprised both by the service I received from the very friendly, helpful staff and how comfortable the bed was although the room was small there was plenty of storage. Everywhere was well maintained and spotlessly clean.

The desk clerk was very friendly and helpful. She gave us directions to a great restaurant. My personal favorite was the extra large shower with endless hot water.

Nice room and bathroom.
There appeared to be a lack of staff for the number of people staying. This was very evident at breakfast on the Sunday.
The bar closing at 9pm was also very dissapointing
