Cumberland Hotel
We love the location a beautiful facility. Our the learning was comfy as well. The only issue I had was around 11:30 PM and we had got there and it was a little stuffy in our room so I called and requested a possible fan and I told them I would come and get it and they said staff is no longer working ...

Apex Waterloo Place Hotel
They are working on the elevators and it's a bit slow moving around the facility, but the staff were terrific about trying to help.

Garner Edinburgh Haymarket by IHG
Great location, restaurants nearby are pretty good, close enough to the touristy spots a nice walk can get you there but removed enough to not be in the middle of it all. The rooms are updated, bathrooms might need an update but i was surprised with the hotel overall.
