Premier Inn Edinburgh Cc Royal Mile
The premier plus rooms were lovely except the curtain doesn't close all and the Wi-Fi was horrible in room with a premier plus room. Asked for days regarding help and no one looked into it or followed up with me, regarding the room I was in having a dead zone.

Edinburgh Marriott Hotel Holyrood
Pretty mid. Doesn’t really seem like a Marriott. Rooms are tiny. Suite is laid out quite odd. Stag were nice. Good was just okay. Smash burger is not a smash burger.

Moxy Edinburgh Airport
Hotel has the style of a frat house. $15 for parking. Advertise heating and AC. But there was no AC. When inquired with management was advised to open the window. Bathroom is the size of a cruise ship cabin bathroom. Breakfast was good. Not recommended (by me)
