“Hootananny strikes me as a smart choice in Inverness. The recent renovations clearly elevate the rooms, focusing on comfort and style, with those showers earning well-deserved praise. I think the lively pub downstairs, though potentially a bit noisy on weekends, adds to the overall appeal for travelers wanting a central location with character.”
