“Residence Inn's extended-stay concept lands in the heart of Edinburgh. The location is a real advantage, putting guests within easy reach of key sights, and the suites come equipped with kitchenettes for flexible meal options. It strikes me as a practical choice, especially for families or longer visits where a bit more space and self-sufficiency makes a difference.”
