Holiday Inn Edinburgh by IHG
Very helpful front desk. Wonderful daily breakfast. Well stocked gym. Clean large rooms and bathroom. Excellent location and transportation options. Hot tub was a little too cool to use.

Garner Edinburgh Haymarket by IHG
The only criticism I have is at the official address is in the rear. So when we first arrived, our Apple Maps app sent us up the street down a side alley to the rear door. Other than that service was good, the pub connected to the lobby was excellent. Just a great experience.
