Apex Grassmarket Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"El personal fue muy amable y atento,les recomiendo el restaurante tiene muy buen menú y creo que si lo comparas con otros del área es asequible en el precio.lo que sí recomendaría es poner una rampa para poder llegar al lobby del hotel ya que cuando entras al hotel te encuentras con unas escaleras que tienes que subir las maletas ya que no tienen maleteros,después descubrí que tienes una rampa desde el parqueo del hotel,pero si no vienes con carro te toca cargar las maletas,las muchachas del lobby quisieron ayudar,pero a uno le da pena que una mujer cargue por ti."
