Great stay

Very friendly staff. Breakfast was ok but as a vegetarian would’ve been nice to have mushrooms and tinned tomatoes as the grilled ones weren’t so good. Room was comfortable and everything very clean but felt the carpet could do with a deep clean. Staff were busy but went above and beyond

Overnight weekend stay Exeter

Hotel was modern and well maintained. Bathroom was to a high standard. Reception staff were friendly and efficient. Bar / breakfast area was pleasant. The only fault was that staff whipped the breakfast food away bang on time. They could have given 5 more minutes or asked guests if they would like anything else first. Hotel ideally located for city centre.
