Perfect place to stay in central Exeter.
Pros:

Large open air carpark to the rear of the hotel meant we could come and go as required, and just pay for the hours that we needed. Amazing breakfast buffet. Drinks at the bar were reasonably priced for a city centre hotel. Chose the location due to proximity to the university ( sons graduation) with friends in the Depot student block opposite. Friendly staff with a good sense of humour was nice.

Cons:

Wanted to stay longer !
