A good location for exploring Exeter
Pros: Convenient, clean. Room well appointed and comfortable.
Cons: Lack of free bottled water during warm weather. A bit noisy and large window at car park level a bit off putting as there was quite a lot foot traffic passing by

Excellent value for money
Pros: The privilege room was excellent with a comfy bed and complimentary beers, water and juice. Very nice bathroom.
Cons: Sadly it appeared the kitchen and FoH staff were struggling with the food orders. I asked for some sauce to go with my burger (which was very nice) but 20 mins later I gave up, and the burger had been consumed anyway. Friendly bunch though

Excellent stay.
Pros: Superb stay. Very friendly, helpful staff.
We had a newly refurbished room on the top floor, which was excellent. Lovely spacious room and bathroom with everything we needed, including tea and coffee makers.
Breakfast was very good with a great range of foodstuffs and the best gluten free offer we have seen in a long time.
Location was great, near the cathedral and town. We knew about the paid parking onsite- it was good to have the car handy.
We didn’t use the pool and gym due to time but a lovely resource to have on hand.
Looking forward to our next stay.
Cons: -
