Wonderful

This was our third stay here as a family and once again it didn’t disappoint. Our room was clean, comfortable, and spacious. The public areas are stylish and clean, checking in and out is quick and easy, and the breakfast is excellent.
Did not like the bathroom. They made it modern with glass wall and door not noise proof lol don’t need to know everything going on in there. This hotel is located on a college campus and while only 5 miles from city seemed a hundred miles away the only place to eat was the hotel. It did give me a life lesson on how to use a bus to get into town.
Love this hotel when working at Heriot-Watt. Clean and comfortable with excellent staff. Breakfast is basic but well done.
You need transport though, it is out of the way for anywhere but the University/Research Park.

Booked in error, wouldn't refund.
Booked in error as we thought is was the Courtyard hotel in the city, our fault but they wouldn't refund which was pretty tight of them.
They didn’t properly clean our room (they would make the bed but didn’t take out the trash). The shower wall only covers half the wall, so water leaks - we mopped it up with towels but they never replaced the towels.
We didn’t know we had to place the key in the wall to turn on the electricity, the staff who showed us was a bit condescending.
Booked a standard twin room with 2 twin beds and the room was very spacious and clean. Bathroom was also big with soap shampoo and conditioner. Was very surprised at how big the room was
