    The Scott is on the campus of the University of Edinburgh, and I had to reach it via an Uber ride. But I was so happy to have changed from my similarly priced, more centrally located and tiny little previous hotel room. It's in a beautiful old building, and while the common rooms had a bit of old/tiny bit faded glamour, the room and bathroom were new and gorgeous. However, I loved the common rooms, the one with the honor system drinks, the one with limitless tea and coffee, the room where we had breakfast.
