"It was easy in every way. The staff were all friendly and helpful. It felt like a family. There was plenty of room in the lounge and dining area. Room was a good size. Better than Premier Inn. Free Wifi. Free breakfast. Note to Management: It might be a good idea to put a clearer sign by the toaster - DO NOT PUT CROISSANTS IN THE TOASTER."
"Located in the heart of Exeter. Friendly staff. Hotel has a lift. Breakfast was lovely. Room was roomy but the decor was tired and needed updating. Bathroom could use a swinging magnifying mirror. Parking is pay and display across the street. You take a chance finding a spot. Otherwise, you have to go quite a way to find parking. Lots of restaurant choices close by. "
"The restaurant and garden / pool area are lovely and I would go back to the hotel for lunch or dinner . However , the rooms are very small and compact - despite being upgraded we still struggled to work around this room as bathroom very tight and the window sill was used to house the shaving mirror. "
