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.

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

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.

Always stay at the Charlton, 3-4 times a year. Every visit is the same.. warm, welcoming and a feel of home away from home. Staff are great, facilities perfect, location great and parking at rear. Go for the Comfort Room (4 poster bed) as the rooms are bigger, comfier and comes with great facilities.

Forres hotel.

Lovely old building, very comfy bed. Right on the high street. Amazing staff. It was quite noisy until the bar closed but it meant we had the chance to meet the friendly locals and have a few drinks. Great weekend break.

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.

Dont stay here - the reviews are beyond inaccurate. I never write reviews, but when I saw the dreadful state of the place and clientele, I politely said I wouldn't be staying and could I have a refund. They declined - which is in keeping with the experience. A truly unpleasant place to stay - I seriously question Expedia's rating system. Dump.

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

Review of the Carlton Hotel, Forres.

The room was clean but wires everwhere. Slippy shower room mat. Nowhere to hang towels in shower room. The bin hadnt been emptied. The TV didnt have a remote cintrol that worked. The door outside our room creaked badly and we had crowds of drunk people under the window of our room. We also had a guest making a loud call outside our room at5am. Breakfast was ok though there was no cutlery. The dining room staff and check in staff were very pleasant but the dining room manager was overworked.

Honestly- there was nothing to like. We arrived and had to go looking for someone to check us in. Barmaid came through and did this in a corridor. I asked to use ladies toilet, DISGUSTING didn’t cover it. The room was a basic mis match with no wash hand basin in bathroom but in bedroom??? This place is in the dark ages. We left in the morning and there were glasses some full, some empty, lying all over the floor of the hotel and spilled out over into the street outside. Left us ear plugs but those weren’t equipped to drown out the noise from downstairs. A complete disaster never slept a wink. If not for my husbands poor health I would have left after our function at night instead of morning. Sorry guys…….but you did ask.
