“fantastic hotel, staff and holiday”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 December 2011

people found this review helpful

ive just come back from a 5 dday holiday at this hotel and all i can say is brilliant!!!!!!!!!!!! Bryan, Ruth and staff where absolutely fantastic . we paid a liitle extra for a premier sea-view room and it was well worth it, hotel and room was spotless, even had our own private sitting room lookingright out on the bay. Food and service was second to none. Had my birthday while i was there and the management and staff made it all the more special. Keep up the good work Alexandra and Highland Heritage your staff are brilliant.

Room Tip: pay a little extra for a premier room they are well worth it

Our stay at this hotel was the best experiance in a long time. Our rooms were very clean with lots of room to move. My friend and I were treated like V.I.P.S the whole stay. We will surely go back again.

Room Tip: I am disabled and had a very quite and comfortable ground floor room. You only have to let them know...

“Probably the worst hotel I'll ever stay in”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 September 2011 via mobile

people found this review helpful

Stayed here for 1 night in august 2011. 1 night was long enough...or too long!

It's old, dated, run down, smells like a hospital. The general clientele is over 60, and the staff are incredibly rude and unhelpful.

Our room was small, cramped with one tiny window with a view over the car park. We asked to move to a water view room, or any other available room and were told that we were "better where you are", whatever that meant. The rooms look like they haven't been updated since the 1960s. The website makes out that the hotel has all mod cons but this couldn't be further from the truth.

The location is great, right on the waterfront and so much more could be done with the hotel if the owners refurbished it, and got in better staff.
