Great staff and excellent service! However, the building needs a serious refresh and air conditioning and proper vent fans added in the bathrooms. Our room was hot and couldn’t open the window enough to cool it down due to a safety latch. Without proper venting in the bathroom, you had to keep the door closed to keep steam from setting off the smoke alarm, and it was hot and steamy. Another room set off the alarm at 2 AM, and the whole hotel got woken up and evacuated. Then, we had to stand out in the parking lot until the fire department came and confirmed it was a false alarm. Not good.

My daughter became ill the during our stay in Scotland, and because of that I had to extend our stay in Glasgow. I thought I had made a reservation for the following night at the Leonardo in Inverness. When I arrived I realized that I had accidentally reserved the night for my extended stay at the Leonardo in Glasgow. They did not have any rooms available and would not refund my cost for the 2 rooms I reserved. Considering I was dealing with a very stressful situation with my daughter's illness I would have expected a refund considering that I still stayed with a Leonardo property in Glasgow. I'm out of pocket $530 and I'm not happy.

Hotel quite dated on the outside, but clearly been done up inside! Room was small but clean, the only issue was the ventilation in the bathroom does not work and with 3 people having showers made the room a very sticky place to be especially with 25degree heat outside also! Can tell this hasn’t been working for a while either cause a couple areas of mould on the ceilings! Bit of white vinegar will help for future! Otherwise a nice stay!

Disappointing!
On a positive note the staff were very pleasant and welcoming. However , sadly the room was tired and wasn’t clean. Around the taps on the bath had pink slime and black mould around hand rail, clearly hadn’t been cleaned properly in a long time also black mould on ceiling. Bottom of the bathroom door is damaged. Tissue holder on the wall hanging off and empty. Carpet not hoovered - dropped white towel on floor when picked up was covered in black fluff and hair. Really wish we had taken photos .

Staff were excellent, exceptional customer service from a young girl in the bar serving a wheelchair user- cleared the cluttered bar area of signs so the lady could see better. A service provider in the breakfast restaurant was lovely - think she was from Glasgow. Lovely young lass in the leisure centre, helpful and very chatty. On the downside as soon as you leave the ground floor it’s grubby, even my 7 yr old commented on the state of the bathroom door…… it was disintegrating from the bottom up!

This place was dirty and worn out. Carpets covered in clumps of hair that the cleaner would have seen. Either a dog stayed or they swept the dirt on the carpet into piles. Sheets had somebodys hairs in aswell so guessing not replaced after the last guest. Bed cushions covered in a dried something. Pool out of order. Ordered a pizza at the bar which was disgusting. Barely warm. Draught beer was flat. Enjoyed...leaving
