Moxy Edinburgh Airport
Walkable from airport, if not too much luggage. Great selection at breakfast. Rooms small yet functional. Fun deco. A great last night before an early flight. Would not stay here to visit Edinburgh, but responds well to the need near airport

Excellent hotel very close to the station, WiFi worked great and they upgraded me to a split level suite which was amazing. Staff very friendly. Minor downside was the pool spa not working but everything else was great
