We had a great stay. Everything was excellent- staff were very kind, the place was very clean and well maintained. The breakfast was very generous with plenty of options to choose from. The room itself was spacious and it had lovely Dove products in the shower. Would recommend to anyone wanting a simple hotel in the centre of Exeter.
