Had a very comfortable stay and the location was excellent for getting around Plymouth without having to drive. The local facilities were excellent especially enjoyed sampling the beer at Steel Brew Co not often you have a brewery under your bedroom!

Hmm not again
It was an expensive stay considering that I'd already paid £91.25 and then to be told that i needed to pay a £60.00 service charge. This was not clear and the time of booking, so was suprised to get hit with a service charge - not quite sure what service i got. The room was very hot, small and lots of noise outside. I will not be staying again.
