Village Hotel Edinburgh
Easy, free parking. Nice staff. Clean room, no frills. Breakfast was ok, nothing special. Main disappointment was that kids were only allowed in the pool after 9 on a Sunday but breakfast stopped at 1030 and check out was 11.

Apex Waterloo Place Hotel
We were put down beside the Spa so we heard a lot of foot traffic while in our room. We had a light flickering for a while but settled as well. Location was fantastic and the cleaning staff were incredibly friendly! :)
