The hotel has a great location, right on the edge of Plymouth town shopping centre. The rooms are very outdated with old furniture, wallpaper, and fittings, but they offer a good view looking towards the Hoe. The service received was excellent in all departments, with polite and helpful staff. The dining experience was impressive, offering a buffet-style with lots of choices. The hotel's location is convenient for exploring Plymouth, being close to the train station, university, and shops.

The hotel had a very comfortable bed in the room, but it was quite cramped for a wheelchair user and had a random assortment of disability aids. The bright neon lighting on the neighboring tower block was disturbing as it stayed on all night. The staff was very customer-focused but there were some issues with burnt dessert. The location was perfect for exploring Plymouth, being close to the campus and shopping center. The dining experience was good overall, with minor issues like running out of breakfast tea bags. The room service, dry cleaning, and laundry services were efficient. Free parking was offered, and the price was affordable for the convenient location near the main shopping area.

My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were clean and comfortable, but they seemed a bit outdated and not very spacious, especially challenging for wheelchair users like myself due to the cramped layout and random assortment of disability aids. The staff was friendly and helpful overall, although there were some instances where I felt they looked down on guests. The location was convenient for my purposes, being close to the university and town, but the lack of a comfortable bar/lounge area was a downside. The dining experience had its ups and downs, with some haphazard service and disappointing food quality. Despite these drawbacks, the hotel met basic needs and offered good value for the money.
