Easy access by car and bus to city centre. Very well organised from check in to self service breakfast and very pleasant staff.. We made the mistake of booking an accessable room (the first option offered) which I suspect was the reason for such limited desk space-will be more careful next time!

Convenient location to stay near Exeter city area. Value for money. The air conditioner was a bit outdated while it’s good to have one during summer.

Okay stay

Felt the hotel was in need of an update. First room we were given had no air conditioning so we changed to another room. We was also put on a different floor to our daughter and her family, which seemed odd as we booked both rooms together.

The hotel is in a good location as not far from the M5 and the park and ride for the city is opposite. Also close to restaurants. Good size car park. Really friendly and helpful staff, made us feel very welcome. Very comfortable and clean room. We would definitely stay here again.
