I booked the room months ago but was placed in the basement so was very disappointed. Other than that it was fine with good breakfast.

Lovely stay in Plymouth.

Lovely one night stay in Plymouth. Terrific location close to the Hoe and the Barbican, easy walk. Breakfast was amazing, very generous continental buffet and a hot breakfast to order, all delicious. Bed was comfortable. It was a good climb up narrow stairs, as per many UK hotels. Otherwise a great value for money.
