Yes car park nearby. The lady from the bar was lovely and friendly great service. The poor chef doing breakfast on his own was fantastic. Lovely cooked breakfast and really good service. The hotel could do with refurbishing, it’s a lovely building. We stayed 1 night as visiting family in area so served its purpose. Thank u

Super friendly staff and a comfy stay

I was visiting Forres for a work event and needed a hotel nearby. The Carlton was lovely. The staff were exceptionally friendly and welcoming; check in was a breeze. The room was super clean and had all the amenities you needed. The bed was excellent and very comfy. Would thoroughly recommend this excellent hotel which is great value for money.

Great stay

The hotel/pub looks like an 'old man's pub' but the rooms are very comfortable and clean. The breakfast was very tasty and Claire was amazingly helpful and friendly by pointing out the best places to eat.

Room was cozy and clean, staff was extremely friendly and enjoyable to talk to. The bar/pub downstairs was a great chill atmosphere filled with people who clearly knew and loved each other. Plenty of options for food in the area, and the pub was priced very reasonably. Will absolutely be staying again

Staff were welcoming, property itself was fairly run down carpets could have been vacuumed, windows had to be propped open and some had metal straps across to prevent opening due to rot, power shower was cold and just a trickle lucky was only one night stay as i would have left.

We tried to save a little money by staying here and I guess we got what we paid for. The room was sparse, the mattress was uncomfortable, the room was too warm, and it was noisy. There is no parking on premises, but free parking down the road. Breakfast was fine, and the checkout was easy.

I enjoyed my stay. Staff were pleasant. There was a difference in the price charged by Hotels .com and the receipt from the hotel. The hotel explained they had given me a receipt for what they were charging. I would have to go back to Hotels.com regarding the difference which they could explain.

Really great staff and comfortable stay. There are stairs and no lift so it’s not suitable for people with physical disability. It takes time to get the water running hot but the place was quite nice and much better than I expected from the ratings. Breakfast was not that great but the complementary drinks and coffee machine in the room was a nice bonus.

Decent sleep, but skip the breakfast

The rooms are clean and comfortable, though a bit noisy late at night (but they gave earplugs…). No lift, so did have a lot of stairs to climb. The main disappointment was the breakfast. Poor quality food, overcooked, wrong items, and scarcity of food on buffet. Staff were friendly and helpful; checkout was easy.

Lovely Staff but a few niggles

The Hotel is on a street corner and parking nearby is limited we had bags and a child with us and our room was on the top floor and no lift available so 6 flights of stairs the room itself was well presented and clean but this is where the niggles came in our bed sheet had a cigarette burn hole in it and the shower which was very complicated to use the main handle was hanging off had had to be constantly pressed back on it was a windy old day and the top floor windows which where old sash cord type windows and had the wind stopping resistance of a seive however its not all bad staff are lovely breakfast was amazing not sure if we would use again but its not all bad

Room 20 was quite difficult to sleep in due to its proximity to the roof. Those darned doves were cooing all night and morning. We could hear then moving about. Mattresses were old and uncomfortable. Quite sure a spring popped getting into bed. Stains on the dark carpet. The receptionist/bartender was a great chap. He explained everything quite well. No dedicated parking, but we got a very convenient spot in front.
