Perfect, modern and comfortable.
Perfect, affordable, pleasant and modern hotel. Free parking, room service, and there were sockets in walls available to charge our phones!! Real bonus. It was great to be able to use lift instead of climbing the stairs with heavy suitcases!! Hotel is conveniently positioned between Edinburgh and historic Dunfermline and close to the airport. Restaurant menu was not very exciting but the atmosphere was very pleasant

Bad start to my second visit
Second visit, not the best dinner service, potatoes were cold, was ignored by the staff and left after one course, however on the plus side, the cod was beautifully cooked and i didn't get charged for the meal.
