7. West End Hotel

Had stayed here before on at least three occasions, had always found it warm, friendly and comfortable. With that in mind, was confident booking again. HOWEVER, it is under different ownership, the rather grandly, if misleading name of MGM Mutha group being the owners. Stayed one night only, beginning of June. On arrival in the mid afternoon, had to wait for some considerable time for staff to respond to reception bell. In reception, can't help but notice a sizable portrait of MGM Mutha founder, Chevalier Dr Mutha resplendent in expensive designer sunglasses, and placed around it, many copies of his book, no doubt extolling his successes.I would have to say the way of running West End Hotel would not feature in a chapter regarding success. The reception area didn't feel overly warm but not freezing, but on opening the door to the sizable bar area (bar was closed) to see if staff were in there after waiting some considerable time at reception , it was akin to opening a fridge door, completely cold feeling, no residual heat even remaining from whenever bar was last open (and heated). Allocated twin room per booking, en route noticed paintwork etc in corridors v tired looking. Room 17 very cold but as I was heading out for afternoon, assumed that perhaps heating was on a timer and would be warmed later. However, not the case, on arrival back, room as cold as earlier and radiator thermostatic valve did not work. As an aside, I generally don't feel cold, but wakened at least 4 times through the night feeling cold. Bed linen (sheets, pilliwcases) was definitely clean and laundered, but only only one thin blanket in addition to the sheets. The shaped decorative bedding top cover that one would normally discard while sleeping as you're never certain they're changed every service had to be used to try get warm. The tea tray showed signs of only a quick clean, one teaspoon missed cleaning altogether and torn-off part of sugar sachet evident on tray from previous guest. Peeling paintwork in the tired shower room/WC and mismatched towels indicate that less attention to detail, running maintenance is achieved under current ownership. So in perspective, while not in anyway a completely disastrous or dangerous stay, it was not great, not comfortable and certainly not what I'd experienced there before and I would not book here again in the near future. Especially given the plethora of accommodation available in the area with comparable, if not in some cases, cheaper, room only rates.

We walked over from a nearby B&B a couple of times and were welcomed without a reservation. The dining room is attractively decorated and has a log fireplace. The staff is young, friendly, and competent. Both times we ate here the food was of good quality, well-prepared and (what I like best) piping hot!

I ate here with 6 friends, the restaurant was really busy, but service was quick. The food was of a high standard, and no one had a meal they didn't enjoy. The puds looked lovely as well.
2. The Geographer

We went to The Geographer this evening. Everything has been perfect. We had 2 starters, 2 main dishes and 2 desserts in total. Every course was different, delicious and nice to look at as well. The staff was polite, nice and helpful, asking us several time if the food was good and if we needed anything. The best restaurant we have seen so far, in our Scottish holiday. If you visit Fort William, stopping by The Geographer is one thing that you must do.

This place is a God send if you have just descended Ben Nevis.Terrific food served to hungry patrons on shared tables. We arrived after dark, from a tricky descent and managed to secure a table. Booking ahead is recommended. The chicken and haggis rumbledethumps are delicious. Lovely staff and good food.
