Very good location, Clean
Pros:

Close to the centre, Lovely staff who were very accommodating, Clean room, Room service was lovely and arrived promptly

Cons:

Was given an accessible room (we are both able bodied and were just concerned someone else might have needed it more as we did not request this)
Cleaner walked into our room at 7am in the morning thankfully we had the chain on the door but this did wake us up and then again an hour later knocked on the door asking when we would be leaving. Just made us feel like we were being forced to leave when check out wasn’t until 12pm.

Lovely stay in Edinburgh!
Pros:

We stayed at the Edinburgh Marriott for one night during our Scotland road trip. The hotel was a great base for exploring Edinburgh, and we really enjoyed our short visit to this beautiful city.

The breakfast was a lovely addition to our stay and a great way to start the morning before continuing our journey through Scotland.

Overall, a very enjoyable stay, and we would happily return when visiting Edinburgh again!
