Summary: The reception area is nice, staff is helpfull.The rooms are clean ,but the overall impression of the rooms is that they need updating.It all looked very tired.
Lenroy Sep 3, 2025 02:56:13 PM
Summary: Decent hotel, in a pretty much perfect location. Gymnasium usage was complimentary (but the facility wasn't very good). Use of the pool/jacuzzi carried an additional charge, even if you were a hotel guest. Parking also carried an additional charge. Very clever, seeing as guests would be charged to park anywhere else they found nearby.
Adam Aug 28, 2025 07:21:12 PM
Summary: This was my second stay this year with the last approx 5 months ago. On that occasion, the air conditioning was not working in the more expensive privilege rooms and the staff informed me they knew, and this had been the case for months. With the recent warm weather, I checked the website to make sure the privilege rooms are being listed as including having air conditioning as they are more expensive and in fact, they do confirm this as a feature. Low and behold, five months on there is still no air-conditioning, but they are happy to take your extra money and promote it.

Summary: Stay here quite often on business and unfortunately there seems to be a gradual decline in maintenance and general condition. The air conditioning in the rooms is still not working and in the room I had this time the TV would not function. It’s not a cheap hotel and the service/ food and pool area usually great however the rooms themselves really need some attention.

Summary: Great location for venturing out into Exeter
David Aug 17, 2025 01:36:52 PM
Summary: Lovely friendly and helpful staff, comfortable room and good service, coupled to car parking made this our favourite Exeter accommodation.
Philip Aug 13, 2025 06:14:00 PM
Summary: Good hotel, great location. Car park too small get there early to get a space. AC never seems to work, think each room needs an ac service
Stephen S W Jul 27, 2025 01:10:20 AM
Summary: Nice and quiet
peter Jul 24, 2025 01:26:56 AM
Summary: Stayed here before and previously had issues with the air conditioning which again on this trip was broken leading to an uncomfortable nights sleep. Otherwise love this hotel, great pool, breakfast and service. Staff apologised and offered free drink etc but being able to sleep in a cool room is an essential for me so would make me think twice about booking again.
Richard Jul 24, 2025 01:24:15 AM
Summary: After my bad experience at my previous hotel the night before the lady on reception was a pleasure and credit to the hotel.
