A Haven NEAR DEVON
prime locationconvenient parksatisfying arrayeasy travel
The location proved supremely convenient. It was ideal for exploring the broader Devon area. A park and ride service right across the street made travel into the city centre EASY. Breakfast included a satisfying array of options.
My room lacked a bath, which I DID miss.

Staff members were committed. Each staff member seemed very friendly. I could open the windows even if they were restricted.
The beds felt small for a double room. I felt the facilities were quite tired. The breakfast disappointed as the orange juice tasted watered down.

the staff did their best to help with directions to a local shop, i guess.
The room had a lingering smell of stale smoke, not pleasant at all. i had to open the window despite the noise outside. It was quite irritating. the pillows were also lumpy, not conducive to a good night's sleep.

Adequate Hotel Stay
friendly staffcomfortable environmentsmall bedtired decor
The location proved convenient for accessing the town. The staff were friendly. I appreciated the comfortable environment (it really made a difference). Breakfast included a large selection of well-cooked items.
I found the double bed to be very small, resulting in an uncomfortable night's sleep. The need to pay for parking was a significant downside. It added an unexpected cost to my stay (I didn't appreciate that). The decor seemed a bit tired.
