I've only walked that area but not stayed at the Travelodge. It seems like a good neighborhood. The A90 would be the most direct route to the Castle and city center and buses are convenient.
The last couple times I've been to Edinburgh I've stayed at the Apex in Grassmarket because of it's location. Walking to the Castle, Gardens, and even the the Princes Street area is quite convenient from there.

Yes I have stayed in the Apex in Grassmarket as well ....and it was so convenient as the previous poster has said. There are two Apex side by side...one more up market...but both are OK...Apex City was the cheaper one.

Although I have never stayed at that particular Travelodge, in general the standard is quite good - basic, but comfortable. The Learmonth Travelodge is in a lovely old terrace of upmarket town houses, quite unlike the more common edge of town purpose built Travelodges. The area is mainly residential although it is a short walk to Princes Street, Dean Village and Stockbridge and the New Town. I would regard it as a good choice. The Grassmarket location previously mentioned is more central and close to bars and restaurants - a plus or a minus depending on what you are looking for. Enjoy Edinburgh. Bruce

It is a nice posh-ish area, so you should be fine. It's also within walking distance from west end - castle area.
