First stay here. Would stay again
My first stay here. Room was nice and clean. Only issue was how long it would be for booking in restaraunt when we wanted to book when we arrived. But we ordered room service instead. I would stay here again.

Will definitely go back again
Awesome hotel. Restaurant is with great food. I checked in late because my flight was super delayed. But they still accepted me for last order even with 5 minutes before kitchen is closed. They even gave me free appetizer. Location is pretty close from EDI airport. Staffs are so accommodating.

Nice enough stay but you cant have a lie in. The cleaning staff and the banging of the doors from 8.30am, make sure of that.
