“The building's history, first as a telephone exchange and later a police station, adds character; today, the comfortable, stylish rooms feature contemporary decor and up-to-date amenities like smart TVs and modern bathrooms. Its location near the Highlands' restaurants and shops is a definite plus, though the lack of dedicated parking might be a challenge. It is a solid choice for a streamlined, independent stay.”
