Pros:

Great location, friendly staff and large rooms. Like that you can get more coffee from the reception as needed. Good value room. Pet friendly too.

Cons:

Older rooms. As the rooms are large, I was a bit cold. A dressing gown would have pushed my score up.

A very comfortable, restful and pleasant stay.
Pros:

Nicely furnished with bath and shower. Nice and central. Parking fee reasonable. Reception very welcoming including restaurant staff. Evening meal excellent.

Cons:

Currently under repair, bridge from car park link to hotel was a little intrepid and lighting needs to be better. Nevertheless, a very important asset to shield one from weather and shorten the walk to the front of the hotel. Signage needs improvement.

Good value because of price and proximity to the Plymouth Hoe,m
Cons:

The initial room I was allocated was tiny and stank of stale cigarette smoke. I reported this and was offered the only other single room available at the hotel.

Pros:

I have stayed here for the past three years for work appointments. The staff have always been welcoming and helful and the supplied breakfast has been plentiful and varied. The room was reasonably set up with a comfortable bed and clean bathroom.

Cons:

The room on the fifth floor was incredibly hot inspite of the radiator being off. I could not located the source of the heat, but in late January I had to spend any time in the room with windows open to reduce the heat. The main bar area is very tired in terms of damaged furnishings and a bland set up with little atmosphere to make it attractive.

Pleasant and quiet
Pros:

Nice and comfortable.
Breakfast was fresh and hot.

Cons:

Room 110
When you run the shower you get a quarter of a bath of water as it doesn’t run properly.
The telephone was not working, reported but nothing done about it.
I don’t think the door locks from inside the knob just kept turning
The tv keeps going off for a few moments every now and again ruining the programme

No decaf coffee available for the room.

Pros:

Great location and building

Cons:

Bit dated, musty smell, couldn't get into the room first time, had to swipe card a few times once I could get in.

For a place to sleep, i've stayed in better, but also stayed in worse.

Very disappointed with the quality of the hotel - environment, facilities and food. But the staff were really lovely.
Pros:

The location was good, and the car parking was handy (although not well advertised or signposted)

Cons:

The whole hotel was very tired and needs investment. We were kept waiting at the bar and had to go and find someone to serve us. The towels were frayed and not the best quality, and the toiletries weren’t the best. The mattress was very hard as were the pillows so we didn’t sleep well at all. And the window rattled for much of the night. The breakfast also wasn’t very good - the removal and replacement of the lids on the food meant that there was a wait, and the food was cold.

Pros:

Comfy of the bed, easy location, cheerful staff

Cons:

Bathroom was dirty, no wifi, no phone in the room. You would have to call the reception using your own mobile or leave your room to go to the reception if you wanted to enquire abt something. The radiator in my room wasnt working
