Satisfactory Accommodation Experience

helpful staff clean sheets hotel location
The staff demonstrated friendliness and helpfulness. Clean sheets and duvets was in my room. The bathroom included a bath, that was good. Traditional hotel breakfast was available between 7 and 11 in the mornings. I found a calm and nice environment when I ate mine around 9.30. The hotel is located near a bus stop which gives access to Edinburgh. There is a cinema and many restaurants close to the hotel. Starbucks is located across the street.
I experienced a problem with the payment system. They said I should have paid in advance since their system changed. It required a long time to resolve. I found the customer service to be inadequate during this process.
