Spacious clean room, & microwave available in hall

I spent one night at the Waverley Inn in Dingwall, while heading back from a work trip. PROS: friendly staff, clean and spacious room and bathroom, wifi works well, free parking available, excellent value for money, and there's the chance to use a microwave oven in the dinning-hall. Special mention for the microwave oven, I wish more hotels and guest houses offered that option! Cons: on the day I was there, the tv (and tv remote) didn't work; but wifi worked well. The only annoying thing was the overwhelming smell of air freshener in the room and bathroom. I had to keep the window open in my room for over an hour to get rid of the chemical smell. Once I changed the air, it was all good.

I am confused: Some things are good, Some things are bad. Bed bugs, i haven’t seen, bad vacuüm cleaning i have seen. Toilet reservoir took minutes to fill up again. Nice shower stuff, water hot/cold good, but Fungus on the kit edges is present. Also the rusted bathroom stuff i have seen: Why? Breakfast: problably a UK issue no cheese and/or ham present.

The Waverley Inn has easy walk ability to the museum and dining opportunities. We had fish and chips at the Mallard which were delicious. Parking was easily available.
This was the blackout curtain in my room. Someone had ripped a section of it out so that the sun - when it came up at 4:30am was illuminating the room.

Needed a quick overnight place to sleep. The room was nice but the sheets needed to be changed, there was a tick in my bed, and the trash hadn’t been emptied from the previous guest. The owners need to hire more people and pay them a decent wage to do the work needed. One full time employee and a couple of part time workers doesn’t cover the needs of the hotel. The poor young man was trying his best to meet the needs of all the guests but I could tell he was exhausted.

Great cheap and cheerful place, fantastic staff

This is a great wee place to stay if you are stopping off or looking for some cheap and quick. The staff were amazing and super helpful. And offer use of the kitchen if I wanted to make some food. Honestly amazing! Also offered to make up a wee bag for breakfast as I was leaving early! I managed to get something before I left. Only thing I’ll say, the room could do a with a little TLC, the shower doors don’t close properly, the door handle is loose and the curtains need fixed slightly, but saying this everything is functional, and usable. As I say, it’s a grant wee handy place to stay, and friendly staff! Hopefully will pop back sometime soon.

I have booked three rooms for our employees. Room 1 The room wasn't cleaned at all. There were dirty towels in the bathroom, a dirty toilet, cans, and rubbish in the room. I had to wait 45 minutes for the room to be cleaned. Room 2 Bed bugs! - Our employee was bitten by bedbugs and ended up at the doctor's office. He received four days of treatment. The bathroom was disgusting and dirty. There was fungus on the sealing. The towel was worn and frayed, more like a rag. Room 3 The guest had to change the bedding by himself. In general, the smell of dampness everywhere They should have left instead of dealing with all of this. It was unacceptable.

The room was booked for two people. There was only one towel and no hand towel to dry hands with. The coffee/tea area had one package of creamer opened, but sitting in the bowl with the others, plenty of sugar packs and one EMPTY coffee pack, no tea. The room was clean and the bed was comfortable.

Would not recommend

Stayed here and would honestly say one of the worst places I've ever been. The room smelt like pee. It was SO dirty. Curtains were hanging off the rail. No hot water for shower but it was so dirty didn't want to use. The layers of dust all over the room, units and kettle were thick.

Wave bye bye

The Inn was in need of cleaning and updating. The mattress was uncomfortable, the breakfast, as it was, was disappointing. The toaster looked as though it had not been cleaned in weeks. I never saw a fresh pot of coffee on, just what was leftover and cold. Very seldom was there a staff person visible.

Room wasn’t great. two single beds with the worst mattress i’ve ever slept on… think your childhood mattress if you went back to it now. Guy on the desk rang us ten mins before we got there in a huff because he was due back on in the morning (perhaps don’t set check in times so late and let guests find a decent place to stay instead) was friendly other than that and the bathroom was alright.

If like me you are imagining a nice cosy pub (due to it being called an "Inn,") then like me, you will be disappointed. It's more like a motel. That said, it was cheap and cheerful, basic but clean. Refreshments provided, but not hair dryer in the room. The chap who checked us in was friendly and cheerful. On site parking is available and walking distance to the pubs and shops.

Basic but clean

Hotel was well located, within walking distance of town. Free parking was good. Hotel was basic, but clean. Down side was the bed hadn't been turned since previous guest, so was sunk in the middle. Staff were unavailable at reception a lot of the time, and it said only to call for staff in an emergency. Possible this is due to COVID, like the lack of breakfast which was supposed to be included, so would give the benefit of the doubt.
