Pros:

Friendly staff, good shower,, and relatively good price for the area

Cons:

The rooms were tired, a bit sad, and - in the summer - way too hot. No AC and just a small fan. The window only opened a tiny bit as well so it made for a pretty uncomfortable night. Additionally, the only breakfast option was a fry up - no fruit or pastries or yoghurt etc - so way behind other budget hotels of this sort which have these.

Exeter weekend break
Pros:

Convenient location and for visiting my relatives.
Great it's a pub too. Large TV screen in the pub was good.
Great value breakfast
Good size bathroom

Cons:

The hallway needs a clean lick of paint as it's the front for visitors.

The corridor lacked ventilation.

Soap dispenser on the bathroom wall was too high without standing on top toes (for small people).

Poor lighting for make-up in front of the mirror in the room.
