Very tired property
Pros:

Location
Comfortable bed
Good breakfast

Cons:

Stained carpet
Ripped curtains
Black mouldy window frame
Rusty radiator
Broken blinds
Broken bath panel
No warning for scalding hot
water
Very disappointed when we arrived to find the hotel had scaffolding and work being carried out.
We complained at the time and was told refurbishments were being carried out for the first time in 30 years.
In our opinion if we had prior knowledge of this we would not have booked.
A refund of £14.35 !

Comfortable and enjoyable. Good value.
Pros:

Superb location next to the Hoe monuments and easy walk to Barbican. Breakfast was tasty and so nice to be able to order from a varied menu for hot food instead of a buffet. The fruit/cereals etc were nice and varied. The room was spotlessly clean and comfortable. The staff I met were so polite, engaging and helpful which made my short stay in Plymouth even better than expected. Do try the Bentley lounge sofas! Thank you.

Cons:

Nothing.
