My stay at the Ben Nevis Hotel was a mixed bag. While I appreciated the cleanliness of the pool and the overall size of the hotel, the room I was in was quite disappointing and in dire need of updating. The food quality varied; breakfast was lukewarm and not very appetizing, whereas the evening meal I had at Garrison West was quite impressive.
