The hotel was a bit off the beaten path so we were a little uneasy about staying at the Marriott Edinburgh hotel. But there was a bus stop about 100 yards from the hotel. The 25 bus went right into Edinburgh and it took about 35 minutes which I thought was nice. The hotel itself was right in a college campus so it had a good energy about it. The room was great. The breakfast was reasonable for $10 pounds and the bar area was convenient. Would recommend if you don't mind taking a bus into Edinburgh.

Little thing make me happy

Everything was very clean the only thing I thought could have been better was the toilet seat, it has a yellow tint on the inner rim. There also weren't any wash cloths & had to go buy one.
