“The hotel was quiet even though I only stayed two nights. I got a generous queen room with a wonderful view, and the staff were friendly across all services. The atmosphere was comfortable, and the service was good. Street parking was convenient, and the location was unbeatable—about 9 miles to Edinburgh airport, easily reachable.”
