Courtyard by Marriott Edinburgh West

Breakfast was nice, only scrambled egg no fried. Location could have been more divided as it was in the main corridor with customers coming and going.

The radio alarm clock in my room kept me awake both nights!!! I don't use an alarm clock radio as use my phone as i expect most people do, so I didn't touch the radio alarm. It went off at 01:30 and woke me, I cannot get back to sleep after being totally woken up. I couldn't see the very small buttons to stop it but eventually did, it then hummed for the rest of the night. In the morning I saw an on/off button so switched it off. The second night it sounded again at 01:30 am and again couldn't return to sleep. Two sleepless nights which ruined the purpose of my visit. I think room service should check these alarms or I would remove them as unnecessary The bar had little choices of beer 2xlager,1xcider and 1xcraft beer. No bitter or Guinness, we heard other customers asking for bitter or guiness also. Where's the good pint of Scottish 'heavy' bitter. We didn't like the menu and nothing appealed to us as it was too 'designer' basic menus always easier to make choices. Seating area was not comfortable as chairs all low backed. This area could have been a bit Scottish Themed as you could have been anywhere. Spent a lot of money here and unfortunately no good points to reflect price paid.

Nice clean hotel. Beautiful area. Front desk was helpful.

The food in the hotel restaurant needs improvement. We were always short on towels and water. The staff was helpful but short.
