Excellent. Beautiful hotel and spacious room. Location is perfect for walking around town. Please be aware that parking is off site and about a 10 minute walk from the property. It was a little challenging for us to find the parking.

This was a great hotel. Centrally located. Across the street from Waverly Station and you can walk to most anything in the city. Staff was very nice and the rooms and common areas were kept clean. The restaurant had a good selection of classic Scottish fare and reasonably priced.
