6/10 Good

Good-ish!
We have stayed here several times before, but now this hotel has changed from a Holiday Inn to a Holiday Inn Express. The staff were lovely - friendly, efficient and helpful. The cleaner of our room kept it spotlessly clean. Storage was a problem, as there was only a tiny open space for hanging clothes, and two small shelves. We had to keep most of our belongings in our suitcase. The view from the room was of the city and the castle, which was good. There were some grey squirrels in the hotel garden which were delightful to watch. Although the hotel was close to a main road, it was fairly quiet and felt safe. There was a retail park within walking distance of the hotel.
The decor had been updated in the bedroom, but the bathroom needed attention. The tile grout was stained and the paint on the bathroom door was blistered and peeling. Breakfast was quite a poor offering, and on busy days, staff could not keep up with replenishing supplies. Both of the lifts were in need of cleaning. Parking was free, which is a bonus in Edinburgh, and the hotel is very convenient for city buses. Would I stay here again? Yes I would. In general, it was a good-ish stay.
