What a wonderful way to start our first trip to Edinburgh! Clean room, excellent food, extraordinary staff, and a good night's rest. The food was supreme as we enjoyed several meals at the hotel. The variety and bar selections were fantastic. The HUGE gym was a superb way to start the day even though we conveniently walked everywhere --- Royal Mile, Castle, GrassMarket, City Center...very convenient to the city's attractions!
