The hotel is within easy reach of all attractions, offering comfortable rooms, though some are a little tatty. The staff went the extra mile in helping and answering any questions that arose, making the service exceptional. The location is near the shopping center, providing easy access to amenities. The dining experience was more than adequate but not very inspired, under the present circumstances. The hotel's facilities are in need of refurbishment but decent overall.

I had an enjoyable stay at this Holiday Inn Express. The rooms were clean, comfortable, and well-equipped, but the sofa bed wasn't made up as promised. The staff was very helpful and showed great care for their customers, especially assisting with special needs. The location was excellent for our short stay, with convenient parking and proximity to a nearby mall. Despite encountering some dining issues, the overall experience was positive.

The hotel is conveniently located just 2 miles from Inverness and right next to the main road, making it fantastic for access to shops and cinemas. The rooms are comfortable with all the essential amenities, though they did have a slight damp smell. The service is friendly and attentive, while the dining options, although offering a good spread, were a bit limited for vegetarians.

My stay at the hotel was quite pleasant. The rooms were spacious and clean, perfect for my family of four and wheelchair accessibility. The location was convenient for our needs, but it seemed a bit out of the way from the city center. The service was exceptional, especially the staff member working diligently behind the bar and attending to various needs. However, the dining options were limited and not the best value for money.

The hotel is nicely situated in a quiet area with easy access from main roads, making it a convenient spot for exploring all attractions. The rooms offer good food and are great, but could use a more thorough cleaning due to the nature of guests that may require such facilities. However, having the same room provided added to the overall experience.

The hotel's location is great as it's just out of town center with plenty of parking. It's set in a quiet spot yet close to a Retail Park with a variety of shops, eateries, and a Multi Cinema, making it convenient for traveling in the area. However, it's a bit far out of the town center to walk, but perfect for what we wanted.

The dining experience, under the present circumstances, was enjoyable with a buffet breakfast served from 6:30 to 10 am, comprising a variety of options including hot food, cereals, fresh fruit, and more.

The hotel served its purpose for a short stay, but the noise from the adjacent pub and smokers outside made it less than ideal. The room, though big with a nice sofa and bed, was overlooking the car park and front door, resulting in a noisy night. The staff were helpful and always ready to assist, making the shift pleasant. The location was handy with easy access to the city, although a bit far from the town center. On the positive side, breakfast was well presented.

The hotel's location near the Holiday Inn allows convenient access to cinemas, shops, and restaurants, but the view overlooking the entrance and car park may not be ideal. The space in the hotel is quite tight. The service was a mixed bag, with some employees taking longer from the kitchen and others being helpful and friendly. The location is perfect for golf enthusiasts visiting Castle Stuart and Nairn Dunbar, as well as for families with young children and pets. For those with private transportation, it serves as a good base to explore Inverness and the surrounding areas. However, it may not be suitable for travelers dependent on public transport. Vegetarian choices were limited. The hotel's facilities are adequate, but smokers lingering around the entrance could be a concern.

This Express Holiday Inn is unlike any other we've experienced before. The rooms, though a bit cramped and hot, are clean and the seating is well laid out. However, the dining area is too small for the breakfast crowd. The service from Francis was exceptionally friendly and helpful. The location, perfect for our purpose, is just outside the city center. The dining options, while limited, are typical for Holiday Inn Express. The facilities are adequate for a comfortable stay.
