The Dakota is a lovely staging location if you're flying out of EDI. The restaurant has a polished (fancy) food and drink menu. It's easy to spend a lot of money on drink here. My only complaint is that the internet connection from our room was _horrible_ -- almost non-existent, probably worse than non-existent since connections were cut and reservations left in an unknown state.

The website advertised free airport shuttle then did not have a spot for us from 730-1030, our tv did not work, not convenient to airport, no coffee or water in lobby. Carpet did not seem clean . Will say bedding and towels did seem quite clean. After not having the shuttle you can Uber or take a cab at your expense
