Edinburgh Holyrood Hotel

Disappointing for the cost and...

Liked: 3rd time we have stayed here as the location is great for Edinburgh. Easy access to the town, castle etc by foot or a cheap Uber/Taxi ride.
Disliked: 3rd time we have stayed and it will be our last. Check-in was quick, and the information regarding breakfast was incorrect. We had booked a Junior Suite and were told we would be using the members' lounge for breakfast, and if we wanted to eat in the main area, we would be charged £5 each extra. The room was nice and bright, plenty of space and came with most mod cons you would expect. The large shower in the bathroom flooded the floor when used due to the drain not emptying quickly enough for the flow. Members lounge offered complimentary drinks and snacks in the afternoon which is a nice touch, and there was an area to sit out in the sun.1st night an alarm went off in our room at 1am. Night manager cam to check but did not know what it was and nor did those at the end of the phone. Alarm taken out of socket but kept going. In the end, the manager took the fuse out of the main board and it stopped (1.45am). Apparently, it was a gas detector but no other rooms had gone off. IN the end we opened all the windows and went back to sleep (hoping to wake up in the morning). We mentioned this to reception and they said not to worry someone would have a look. When we checked out on the third day no one had looked or even replaced the switch back in the wall.Breakfast on day 1 was taken in the members' lounge at 09,45 (breakfast finishes at 10.30). Greeted by dirty tables full of plates etc and a buffet (table counter) we minmul dried up bits of bread etc. No milk for cereal, no fresh fruit replaced, no scrambled eggs (was eventually replaced but more liquid than egg), lukewarm sausages (burnt on one side) and bacon that was cold and dried out. Requested brown sauce and was told that they did not have any. This breakfast room is meant to be for members of Marriott but to be honest it was a disgrace and no one seemed bothered when questioned at reception. When questioned, they said we could eat in the main restaurant at no extra cost as we were in a suite!!
