Wonderful

Why can’t 10 stars be an option? The staff of the Dakota deserve more than 5 stars. Upon check in they allowed us to use the front desk phone to call the airlines that canceled our return flights. They also arranged for us to eat dinner without a reservation and arranged for a complimentary appetizer with our meal. I am gluten free, and the waitress and host were beyond attentive towards my food sensitivities, it was very appreciated. The room was large, clean, and had the most amazing shower. The only small inconveniences of our stay were the wifi kept dropping us unless we stood in the bathroom and the airport shuttle only runs Monday-Friday which is the main reason we booked this hotel (but our flight was on Sunday).
Lovely staff
Awesome shower
Comfy bed
Very clean
We were a wee bit warm and weren’t sure how to turn down the heat, so it was nice being able to open the window.
Plus I love Nespresso!
Ate at an amazing Indian restaurant - excellent food and service.
Wish we had more time to explore the sweet town👍👍👍
The property was lovely and the dining was good. Our issue was the heat in the room - the air could not be turned on so it was incredibly hot. The staff did not offer to let us change rooms. The front desk eventually gave us a fan but the night was miserable.
The people were very helpful. I liked that the public transportation was easily accessed.
The rooms were great and amenities were exactly what we needed.
The location facilitated getting us to the airport with the least amount of hassle at the end of our trip . It is also a very first class property with an excellent restaurant on the premises.
The Dakota is a lovely staging location if you're flying out of EDI. The restaurant has a polished (fancy) food and drink menu. It's easy to spend a lot of money on drink here.
My only complaint is that the internet connection from our room was _horrible_ -- almost non-existent, probably worse than non-existent since connections were cut and reservations left in an unknown state.
