The only real complaint, and it's not a big one, was the limited t.v. selection. The bed wasn't to my liking but my wife said she had a good night! Oh, and too many of the changing room lockers were defective. We decided to have a quick drink on returning from our evening out...the bar doesn't take cash after 10.30 on a Sunday, not everyone uses plastic all the time, come on that's another small one that's easy to rectify.
Very pleasant staff. Nice to have a pool for a quick dip. Breakfast was nice and more than ample. Good situation within the city, easy to reach all Exeter has to offer if you don't mind a little walking, about 10 minutes to city centre.

Not enough staff in the bar, only one barman who had to leave the bar unattended while he went to the kitchen to fetch and deliver bar snacks around the bar area. This sometimes meant that several people had to wait even though the bar was relatively quiet. The car park was quite expensive for guests. I think that there should be at least a bottle of water per guest in the rooms, charging £1.50 for a bottle of water at reception is a bit stingy!
The room was clean and very comfortable. The location was perfect. The car park was safe and secure. The breakfast was excellent.

The atmosphere in the restaurant during our evening meal was very sterile. It was quiet, no background music, no atmosphere. Felt quite awkward & couldn't engage in conversation, the noise from cutlery on the plate was exaggerated & wasn't pleasant at all. If I visit again I shan't be eating in the hotel. Could hear traffic noise in my hotel room.
Central location in the heart of the city. Loved the facilities, pool, sauna, gym. Rooms very comfortable & the bed. Shower amazing. Staff we're very professional & breakfast was lovely.
