Delta Hotels by Marriott Edinburgh

8/10 Good
"Having had a delayed flight and not arriving at the hotel until 10pm I was unable to get anything to eat. I did not expect a restaurant meal but did expect room service nor did I want crisps or chocolate from a kiosk. However a receptionist very kindly remembered that a guest had only taken a sandwich from a picnic bag and had left the fruit, drink and biscuits. This she kindly gave me and deserves credit for her action."
