Friendly greeting. Lovely room, spotlessly clean. Plenty of lifts to get to floors. Bar staff chatty and approachable great choice of drinks and food . Fast with both. Free parking (what a bonus) bus stops just around the corner although taxis were quicker to get into Edinburgh town. Would highly recommend and use again. Loved Scotland!!!

I wouldn't call this a 4 star hotel. It was okay, but there was nothing that made it feel elevated. There's a bar and food available, but the decor is basic and cheap looking. It was safe and the staff were friendly.
