Adequate stay near Speyside

onsite parking central location limited soundproofing rough edges
The onsite parking was VERY convenient. The location proved central to distillery tours, and that suited our travel plans. I appreciated the whisky bar. It had one of the best selections I have EVER seen.
The room felt slightly rough around the edges.

Mixed Experience. Some Issues Noted

low pressure long corridor
The shower pressure was practically non-existent. Barely a trickle came out. The warm water wasn't even properly warm. our rooms were at the very end of a long corridor. One was ground-floor facing the parking lot. The other was upstairs near the road, not ideal.

The room was large and comfortable with a huge ensuite. The breakfast included an excellent choice. The adjoining Spey Inn bar offered affordable meals in the evening.
There was no whisky menu available at the Quaich Bar. It would help to give an indication of price.

Acceptable stay with service issues

The hotel has onsite parking, convenient.
I found the breakfast disappointing. I had booked breakfast for 8:00, yet the food was very slow to arrive and the quality was not great. It made the start of my day frustrating.
