Pros:

1st room offered had toilet seat in broken unsafe condition
Who cleaned room and therefore did not even wipe around the toilet seat ?
A nice touch would have been a hotel courtesy car for station or racecourse on racedays

Pros:

Stayed many times at the Passage House as convenient but rooms are tired and on the last occasion the water was not very hot for both the shower and sink. Breakfast cereal choices have become more limited but the cooked breakfast was excellent and well presented. Also on the plus side a comfortable bed.

Pros:

The bed was SOO comfortable, sheets and towels lovely, white & clean and we had a really good night's sleep. Great view.
However, the room was very dirty, carpet filthy and not hoovered with all sorts of debris clearly visible just under the bed. The bathroom was tatty with dirty brown edged mastick and the uplighting highlighted ancient looking cobweb 'curtains'. The phone and kettle were ancient and filfthy. The bath drained too slowly not to have a blockage problem. My mum would not have stayed in this room!
Most staff were lovely. A bearded man we encountered behind the bar was a total misery.

Enjoyable stay in a pleasant location
Pros:

I have stayed at the Passage House a few times as family members and grandchildren live within walking distance. I have always found the staff friendly and professional. The room was spacious and although the facilities are a little tired and dated it was comfortable enough. Breakfast was good and hearty with plenty of choice. For the first time I walked into Newton Abbot along the river footpath which meant I could leave the car at the hotel which was definitely a bonus for a day at the races.

Overall Good
Pros:

Good Hotel, Decent family room for 3. Only stayed for a night. Hot breakfast took ages to arrive, if they could fix that I'd give 5 stars.
Hotel looks a bit dated.

Pros:

Room was adequate, hotel a bit run down, staff friendly enough but not overly attentive. Room looked clean, however in the morning the bathroom floor got very wet, I used one of their white towels to mop it up and it ended up black!! Also cobwebs on bathroom ceiling, rust patches on radiator etc. The hotel has had its day and just feels a little unloved.

Location 11/10
Pros:

11/10 for the location. Great views and direct access to a lovely walk into Newton Abbott. Large carpark, leisure facilities were good. What let us down was the breakfast on the first morning. Got sat down then forgotten about. When we did eventually get our traditional English order the hash-brown was mouth burning but the rest of the plate stone cold! However the next day had an Eggs Benedict and it was fine so we won't be put off staying again.

3* hotel at moment
Pros:

Standard 3* hotel, all was very nice it's just coming to stage where some things need updating eg bath/shower was tiny to point that shower curtain couldn't stop clinging and the shower was didn't have enough power

As said, all nice enough and staff are very friendly

Budget hotel but good facilities and nearby walks.
Pros:

Booked last minute. Location is a bit out of the way but only a few mins from N Abbott and 10 mins from Teignmouth. Outlook from hotel down the estuary very nice and some nice walks nearby. Hotel rooms are very dated, particularly bathrooms and due to age the toilet, bath etc appeared dirty, although I would imagine they had been cleaned. Comfortable bed and reception, bar and restaurant area were pleasant to sit in. Swimming pool lovely and warm and quite quiet, so great with young children. Restaurant menu is limited, particularly if you have children. I would sum the hotel up as a budget hotel. Definitely not luxurious but if you're on a tight budget, it's pleasant enough. Staff very friendly and helpful throughout stay. There's a nice pub literally next to the car park with a good menu and views down the estuary.
