#### First time to Edinburgh
We arrived into town and the porter, Paudie met us when we came in. He helped us move in and gave us some great information. The bed was comfy. The shower was very nice. The room was nice and quiet. The reading room had some great travel books. We had a wonderful time exploring the town. The people were great and the sights were spectacular!!!
