Jewel in Plymouth's Crown!
Pros:

The location is first class being a stones throw from the Eddystone lighthouse and sea front on Plymouth Hoe. The hotel is immaculate and clean, the staff were some of the most friendly and polite I have met for many a travel experience.
The room was spacious and very well decorated and the bathroom immaculate and plenty of toiletries.

We didn't need to park as went by train but there is an ample car park at the rear of the hotel. The hotel looks out over a memorial park which is beautiful in itself and the staff were very helpful with local knowledge and you are about a 5 minute walk into the Town or the Barbican where the main bars and restaurants are located.

All in all a very beautifully presented hotel with great location, facilities, staff and comforts, I would strongly recommend this to anyone staying in Plymouth for a few days or more as near to evertyhing!

Cons:

Nothing really as provided everything and more we needed and expected!

The three “P” apply here… ex- military or military will be familiar abbreviation
Pros:

Breakfast … this is what made me try this hotel again.

Cons:

Now this may sound trivial…but it’s still personal property. Things were removed from my room ( after house keeping cleaned), half a bottle of water ( originally 2, ltr bottle ), plus my personal tea bags, that I take everywhere. Like I have said. It’s not the monetary value , 100%, but it’s still my personal property. In all fairness the night manager, did give me more bottled water, and an apology.

Out of the 3, nights only once was the heating put on of an evening, and I did ask for it to be put on, every night. As the rooms on the top floor are cold, irrespective of the day time temperature in March…this was my second time at this hotel, but unfortunately it will be my last.
As the same issue accrued with the heating on my last trip.

Pros:

The staff were outstanding, so friendly and helpful and the location was excellent being next to the Hoe. The room was very clean and comfortable.

Cons:

My only real points are that the room we had could have done with a bit of updating and perhaps double glazing fitted as the sash windows don't keep out any noise from the road directly outside.
