Marriot mediocrity
Liked: Staff were lovely!Comfy bed!Good sleep.Good having a wee sitting room.
Disliked: Refurb going on.No bar available.Breakfast to go due to refurbishment.Breakfast chaotic!Tiny set up for many guests including large families! Awkward to get your food! No cups for hot drinksNo juice glasses.No spoons to eat porridge with.Room tired.... lamp stained! Table all blistered and tired!Requested an early book in but told no.... had to pay for upgrade if a room was available!A room was available but no extra payment required. Very pricy for a mediocre experience. I expected so much more!I feel the prices should be reduced during refurbishment due to lack of services and rooms available tired and dated.Also I do think 4pm check in is a bit late and not very flexible!And really annoyingly when going down to collect our breakfast at 9a.m. the cleaning cart was sitting right outside our room! We still had 2 hours until we checked out!Here's your hat Where's your hurry!This was a trip planned for an event for a 60th birthday and was dissapointing.Especially as the marriot chain are still selling this as a premium establishment... I don't really feel it lived up to the marriot name. Was so dissapointed!..

Superb
Liked: Very nice and spacious room for family of 3 persons with possibility to cook. Excellent location close to the old down and in proximity of nice park. Very easy to reach many historical places by walking.
Disliked: Renovation of breakfast room just started when we arrived. Had to pick-up the breakfast from smaller room and eat in your room - it was quite OK when you got used to it. Only one lift in the premises caused little bit occasional waiting time.

Perfect location, lovely room
Liked: Perfect location, clean big room, quiet area but very close to everything, lovely lady on check in.
Disliked: Lots of renovations going on so didn’t see it at its best (not their fault, there’s never a good time for it!)

Very expensive hotel coupled with...
Liked: We picked this hotel due to it's close proximity to the start of the Edinburgh Marathon
Disliked: This is a very expensive hotel. £419 for one night. This doesn't include parking. I booked it approx 9 months before my stay. But I received an email a few weeks before my stay (when all other hotels in the proximity were fully booked) to say that there was renovation work happening and there would be no reception or lounge area in the hotel. Further that breakfast would be limited and you would need to take it on a tray back to your room.Despite this being a very expensive hotel there was no offer of discount for the inconvenience. In this event, the check-in process was chaotic with a tiny space with no space to move and staff who didn't care - worse they were condescending about the situation stating that they sent an email. As if sending an email two weeks before makes it okay. They should have discounted the stay given they were giving a lesser experience than what I paid for.Further, breakfast was a shambles. A tiny room with people attempting to fill trays to then take up to their rooms.This hotel is a disgrace and is not up to standard of other Marriott's.
