Wonderful
I’ve stayed in several IHG hotels and always lovely. Bed was really comfortable and I had a great sleep
Breakfast was a bit crowded for me and felt like we were sitting too close to other people. When I came for breakfast most trays were empty so that was very disappointing. My husband was about 10 minutes later and they were all topped up

Location was good and parking was available at premises
Room was smelly and room size was smaller than similar bed capacity rooms in other Holiday Inn Express hotels. Parking was paid. It feels less painful if parking charges are incorporated in room rent. Hotel staff wasn’t aware of rules around hotel parking charges. Staff and service were chaotic at breakfast.

The location was very convenient the tram stop was just outside the hotel and we could catch the tram into Edinburgh, and breakfast was decent.
Not enough parking for customers outside the hotel although they do have overflow parking across the road.
