The Exeter is a very good choice when visiting the city.
Pros:

The location was perfect for our visit. We were within easy walking distance of everything we wanted to do in the city and right across the street from a shuttle pickup for tours. The staff was very nice and helpful as well. The attached restaurant and bakery were convenient.

Cons:

Its picky but the room temperature was hard to regulate to a comfortable setting. It was more of on or off especially in the bathroom. We had to have the windows open in the main area to cool it down. Also a more comfortable chair or two would have been welcomed.

Great hotel in a great location
Pros:

While our rooms weren’t ready since we arrived early in the morning, they had free lockers that we could store everything in until later. This was a great system and we really enjoyed the hotel and the included breakfast.
