I would probably look elsewhere next time
Pros:

The staff were great

Cons:

Breakfast was awful. Would not recommend. No mushrooms, no fried eggs and the scrambled eggs were awful, over done and cheap eggs. Yuck. The sofa bed had some odd stains on it, just a bit grubby really.

Second overnight stay
Pros:

We stayed at the Holiday Inn Express, Exeter for a night at the start of our Devon/Cornwall road trip and liked it a lot so we booked it again for the end of our road trip! Very clean and comfortable with a good breakfast buffet and only a few minutes drive from Exeter St Davids train station.

Cons:

Nothing

Not sure if i'd stay here again.
Pros:

Breakfast was good and the staff were good. The location is ok too.

Cons:

Very expensive. £30 for a dog and £18 for parking. They don't even provide a water bowl for the dog in the room. I'm not too sure why a dog should carry a £30 charge. As far as I can see the rooms are cleaned like all the rest?

The room was very small but it was ok.

Parking is a rip off. Just include it in the price and people will feel happier!
