Reviews for The Weigh Inn Hotel

Review 1：No lounge to unwind or curl up on a sofa with a good book, lets the rest down.

Review 2：Nice convenient Hotel for the traveller, for the age of the building it was surprisingly clean and well maintained, big bedrooms, small bathroom but sustainable.

Review 3：The food was great but would have been nicer served in the resteraunt rather than the public bar.

Review 4：Although the hotel was busy the room was quiet and peaceful.

Review 5：WLAN much too slow and not possible to use nearly all day long, bath room has been dark, to repair the light did not work while our overnight stay, flushing the toilet did not work very well like in many hotels in UK

Review 6：Very nice view on the Thurso bay, breakfast, very easy check-in and check-out, big facilities re relaxing and living, quite big family room we get

Review 7：First morning took 15mins to get my breakfast order taken then had to leave for work before it arrived. Stuck with cereal from then on. Bed wasn't made well - top cover just put over without smoothing out bottom sheet which was all crumpled and untucked. Wifi didn't work in my room for 2 days of the 4. Perhaps minor things but having paid £105 per night wasn't what I expected.

Review 8：Comfortable bed. Spacious room. Large tv with good reception. Good views over the bay. On site parking. Easy to find and well located for onward travel.

Review 9：no problems at the weigh inn at all.

Review 10：Hotel overall was very good also food excellent, the staff were very helpful (special thanks to John behind the bar) making our business stay there a very pleasant one also to John the director who sat with us and spent time chatting and giving us knowledge of Thurso and the area. hopefully will return for a weekend break.

Review 11：Public areas could benfit from refurbishment as they were a bit tired. Food was served up to 9pm but kitchen staff had all left by 9.20 on the evening we stayed so if you had your main meal served just before 9 there was no one available to make dessert if customer required it perhaps the customers should be made aware of this when ordering.

Review 12：Good location, spectacular views. Bedroom comfortable and good size.

Review 13：The bed was a bit too firm for my liking.

Review 14：The scenery was amazing. The view from my room out to sea was breath-taking! My room was clean and tidy. The staff were friendly and my evening meal (sirloin steak) was delicious.

Review 15：The restaurant needs great improvement! It really lets down what is a very nice hotel. Seats and carpets are in need of a good cleaning and stained seat covers should be replaced.

Review 16：The room was adequate, clean if a little cramped. Bathroom was clean and cosmetics were available along with tissues

Review 17：The bar didn't suit our eating requirements for both noise and cleanliness.

Review 18：The conservatory was lovely for breakfasts with views over Dunnet Head, the setting was excellent.

Review 19：Dreadful communications. Wi-Fi a nightmare. Decor out-dated. Menu and food distinctly average.

Review 41：Uncomfortable bed

Review 42：Shower was hot but not very powerful, although this could have been after effects of the previous nights power cut

Review 43：Beautiful location, family room was very large, comfortable and well equipped. Staff were very helpful as the whole of northern Scotland had a power cut and they couldn't have been more accommodating during the outage.

Review 44：Meals stopped at 8:30pm and we were only minutes late and did not serve us so we had to go out and look for a takeaway. I would of thought if you pay £105 for room they would have accommodated our needs after having a long drive up North. First room that they gave us the noise of the wind was unreal although they did move us to another one with no complaints.

Review 63：we may have been unlucky but the receptionist both on arrival and next day on departure [same person] was not espcially welcoming [we had had a long journey] and gave the impression that the sooner we settled the bill and left the happier she would be. whilst rising from the office chair is not vital, it wuold have helped to indicate some measure of interest in our visit.
