Best Western Inverness Palace Hotel & Spa

Best Western Inverness Palace Hotel & Spa scored a disappointing D Roch Rank. If you're planning a stay with your furry friend, brace yourself for some limitations. While most rooms are dog-friendly, don't expect to enjoy a meal or drink with your dog by your side, as they're not allowed in the bar, restaurant, terrace, or any public areas. This means your canine companion will be confined to the room, and leaving them alone isn't an option, adding a layer of hassle to your stay. The hotel charges £15 per dog per night, which feels steep given the lack of amenities provided. You'll need to bring your own dog bed and bowls, as these aren't supplied. On the plus side, the hotel does offer guidance on nearby walking routes, with scenic paths along the River Ness and Caledonian Canal, which are perfect for stretching those legs. There are no weight restrictions, but you're limited to two dogs per room. While the absence of a damage deposit is a relief, the overall experience feels lacking in genuine dog-friendliness. The hotel doesn't offer any special services like dog-walking or sitting, which could have added much-needed convenience. In summary, while the location offers some lovely walks, the hotel's restrictions and lack of amenities make it a less-than-ideal choice for dog owners. Consider other options if you're looking for a truly welcoming experience for both you and your four-legged friend. This hotel has been evaluated, ranked, and reviewed using the Roch Standard, the world's first dog friendly standard for the hotel industry.
