Had a meal there one night which was lovely and breakfast every morning was great. The hotel is in a great location close to the centre of Aviemore. ##### Brian Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Gill Jul 30, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Amazing stay, the hotel was spotless, the staff very helpful and friendly, great service and do much to entertain the family.

Aspect restaurant as only dining option on site was a bit too posh for liking. Buildings look a bit old and tired but still in good condition. Am waiting for partial refund due to check out 2 days early so will see if get it. Walking directions from station were not provided and no directions on site so not easy to find hotel for initial check in. ##### Andrew Stayed 5 nights in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lubos Sep 6, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Amazing resort. 3 hotels, big pool, toboggan, waves.

Fabulous room and service. Loved the pool area. Would stay again. ##### Helen Stayed 1 night in Aug 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### John Sep 22, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness This hotel is adequate and has good and not-so-good aspects. First of all is the late check-in time. 4pm seems a bit late, especially for families. On the good side, we were allowed to use the pool while we waited. The pool is a good resource but as with many MacDonald Hotels these days, parts of it are tired and need work. Half the showers in the changing rooms were not working and created queues. In the room, I was lead to believe from photos that the family room would have a double bed and two singles instead of a double and one single. Adequate but nothing more. Also, the television didn't really work. At first, there was no audio for television and then it would switch off randomly. Wifi wasn't very strong. Breakfast was good. ##### John Stayed 1 night in Sep 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Emma Jun 15, 2025 Liked: Staff & service Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities #### Great location, hotel needs complete revamp! Great location and good breakfast. However, hotel overall extremely dated and things look dirty. The pool area was extremely dirty looking and the Spa pool was not on so extremely disappointing. None of these would be major issues if it were not for the price you pay. One of the things we paid to go there for was a spa pool. The bed was comfy enough. There are only two usable sockets for plugs in room as others are the special lamp sockets so not great if have more than two things to be plugged in at once. ##### Emma Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2025 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Banff Springs Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Banff-Hotels-Banff-Springs-Hotel.h30674289.Hotel-Information) > > [Star Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Montrose-Hotels-Star-Hotel.h19656821.Hotel-Information) > > [Claredon Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Oban-Hotels-Claredon-Hotel.h36871719.Hotel-Information) > > [Charming 10-bed House in Blairgowrie](https://www.expedia.ca/Blairgowrie-Hotels-Charming-10-Bed-House-In-Blairgowrie.h105642790.Hotel-Information) > > [Highland Gate, Stirling by Marston's Inns](https://www.expedia.ca/Stirling-Hotels-Highland-Gate-By-Marstons-Inns.h33761820.Hotel-Information) > > [The Millcroft Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Gairloch-Hotels-Millcroft-Hotel.h35254076.Hotel-Information) > > [Seascape](https://www.expedia.ca/Lossiemouth-Hotels-Seascape.h26996262.Hotel-Information) > > [Balmoral Arms](https://www.expedia.ca/Ballater-Hotels-The-Deeside-Inn.h1422395.Hotel-Information) > > [Carmel Apartments Queen Street Residence](https://www.expedia.ca/Falkirk-Hotels-Craignish-Apartments.h17351249.Hotel-Information) > > [Caladh Inn](https://www.expedia.ca/Stornoway-Hotels-Caladh-Inn.h901168.Hotel-Information) > > [Dunclutha Guest House](https://www.expedia.ca/Leven-Hotels-Dunclutha-Guest-House.h30056328.Hotel-Information) > > [Karrawa Guest House](https://www.expedia.ca/Kirkwall-Hotels-Karrawa-Guest-House.h10561983.Hotel-Information) > > [The County Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Selkirk-Hotels-The-County-Hotel.h110712003.Hotel-Information) > > [The Mansion House Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Elgin-Hotels-The-Mansion-House-Hotel.h9361458.Hotel-Information) > > [Crossbasket Castle Hotel & Restaurant](https://www.expedia.ca/Glasgow-Hotels-Crossbasket-Castle.h14848545.Hotel-Information) > > [Cameron House Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Oban-Hotels-Cameron-Guest-House.h11900710.Hotel-Information) > > [Balyett Farmhouse B&B](https://www.expedia.ca/Stranraer-Hotels-Balyett-Farmhouse-BB.h1383442.Hotel-Information) > > [Old Kilmun House](https://www.expedia.ca/Dunoon-Hotels-Old-Kilmun-House.h36247811.Hotel-Information) > > [The Argyll Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Dunoon-Hotels-The-Argyll-Hotel.h1461632.Hotel-Information) > > [Glen Esk](https://www.expedia.ca/Dundee-Hotels-Glen-Esk.h24038547.Hotel-Information) > > [St. Annes Guest House](https://www.expedia.ca/Oban-Hotels-St-Annes-Guest-House.h24283244.Hotel-Information) > > [Finnich Cottages](https://www.expedia.ca/Glasgow-Hotels-Finnich-Cottages.h15179652.Hotel-Information) > > [Ardtorna](https://www.expedia.ca/Oban-Hotels-Ardtorna.h11974227.Hotel-Information) > > [Hebridean Way](https://www.expedia.ca/Oban-Hotels-Hebridean-Way.h41523848.Hotel-Information) > > [Kelpies Serviced Apartments](https://www.expedia.ca/Falkirk-Hotels-Kelpies-Serviced-Apartments.h23286343.Hotel-Information) > > [Brae Cottage](https://www.expedia.ca/Isle-Of-Skye-Hotels-Brae-Cottage.h24409464.Hotel-Information) > > [Bridge Inn](https://www.expedia.ca/Tillicoultry-Hotels-Bridge-Inn.h23356772.Hotel-Information) > > [Station House](https://www.expedia.ca/Lanark-Hotels-Station-House.h11944727.Hotel-Information) > > [Creag Mhor Cottage](https://www.expedia.ca/Kyle-Hotels-Creag-Mhor-Cottage.h31002743.Hotel-Information)
