We had high hopes for a cute hotel for our last night in Scotland. While it looks pretty if you don’t look too closely, it’s pretty run-down. Mattresses were saggy, covers stained and dirty, couldn’t find a full cup of coffee (manager “gave” us a partial cup that was all they had left because I guess the literally measure how much is needed vs. reserved breakfast guests?). It just feels like they’re treading water.

Clean room was best feature. Walking up three flights of stairs (no lift) was not. Requested double bed, got two singles. Tiny, dated room. Location near Haymarket station was a plus. All in all, not a great value for money.
