Crowne Plaza Plymouth by IHG
"Bathroom is tiny. shower water pressure and temperature were terrible. I asked them to look at it, not sure that anyone ever did. I was told at check in, that breakfast was not included. I showed them on my email that it is, they added it then."

The Grosvenor Plymouth
"Clean room, nice friendly staff. In the small single room the shower needs updated and water pressure. But way more importantly the pillow and mattress were the worst I have ever come across to the extent I considered sleeping on the floor. On a postive note the room is exceptionally clean."

"The room was quite well proportioned and despite being over the public bar was not noisy. Was close to the bus stop which saved us driving into Brighton and trying to find a park. Meals were good and breakfast very generous. Overall good value for money"
