  : Simple process and as expected
  : Same as others with parking problems but this is Plymouth council obviously making money everywhere. However hotels could include free parking rather than charged.

  : HONESTLY NOTHING. NIGEL DID TRY TO MAKE THINGS A LITTLE BETTER I SUPPOSE. HE TOLD US HE HAD NOT PUT THE COST OF THE ROOM THROUGH ALTHOUGH AT THIS POINT THAT WAS IRRELEVANT AS BOOKING.COM HAD HAD THEIR MONEY AND WE KNEW WE WOULD NOT BE ENTITLED TO A REFUND. 45 MINUTES AFTER LEAVING THE HOTEL ON MONDAY 4TH SEPT, AN EMAIL WAS SENT TO US FROM NIGEL, THE MANAGER, POINTING OUT THAT THE LOCATION OF THE BOOKED ROOM WAS IN THE ATTIC AND THAT THIS MAY NOT BE SUITABLE FOR EVERYONE. IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN CLEAR ON THE BOOKING.COM SITE THAT THERE WAS NO LIFT AND IT WAS A TOP FLOOR ROOM.
  : BREAKFAST WAS NOT AVAILABLE FOR CLIENTS WITH DOGS UNLESS THE ANIMAL WAS LOCKED IN THE CAR OUTSIDE IN THE HEAT. AS SUGGESTED BY NIGEL, THE MANAGER OF THE ESTABLISHMENT. NOWHERE AT ALL TO EAT SEPERATELY FROM THE RESTAURANT.LOCATION OF THE ROOM WAS NOT DESCRIBED OR THE LACK OF A LIFT BEFORE ARRIVAL. WE BOOKED ON A FRIDAY EVENING VERY LATE ALMOST MIDNIGHT, AND ARRIVED THE NEXT DAY, SATURDAY AFTERNOON, HAVING TRAVELLED SINCE MORNING SO NO ONE TO CHECK WITH BEFORE ARRIVAL. HAVING BOOKED ON THE BASIS THAT THE ROOM FEE WAS NOT RETURNABLE WE FELT WE WERE GOING TO HAVE TO STAY OR LOSE 210, A SIZEABLE AMOUNT OF MONEY TO LOSE. WE HAD BOOKED A 2 NIGHT STAY.THE PROPERTY WAS IN AN EXCELLENT LOCATION THAT SUITED US ENTIRELY. PARKING WITH A BLUE BADGE WAS EASY.I HAVE REDUCED MOBILITY, AND I WAS THEREFORE UNABLE TO GET TO THE ATTIC FAMILY ROOM, SUITABLE FOR 5, WITH IT'S OWN BATHROOM, THAT WE HAD BOOKED. WE WERE OFFERED TWO SINGLE ROOMS ON DIFFERENT FLOORS, ONE FIRST ONE SECOND WITH A SECOND FLOOR LANDING BATHROOM SHARED WITH THE REST OF THE ESTABLISHMENT. MY HUSBAND HAS ALZEIMERS AND THEREFORE HAVING HIM ON A DIFFERENT FLOOR WAS JUST AS UNACCEPTABLE. I HAD, HOWEVER, BEEN DRIVING FOR MANY HOURS AND COULD NOT FACE THE PROSPECT OF RINGING AROUND TO FIND AN ALTERNATIVE.WE WENT OUT TO DINNER AND UPON RETURN NIGEL GREETED US STATING GREAT NEWS SOME GUESTS HAD UNEXPECTEDLY LEFT AND HE NOW HAD A DOUBLE ROOM WITH IT'S OWN TINY BATHROOM ON THE SECOND FLOOR. MY HUSBAND SAID IT WAS THE SMALLEST BEDROOM HE HAD EVER SLEPT IN. WE HAD NOT STAYED ANYWHERE WITHOUT OUR OWN BATHROOM SINCE COLLEGE IT WASTHE BEST SCENARIO.THE ONLY WAY WE COULD HAVE AVAILED OF THE INCLUDED COOKED BREAKFAST WITH THE DOG WOULD BE TO EAT AT DIFFFERENT TIMES SEPERATELY. UNUSUAL AND NOT EXACTLY A COMFORTABLE PROPOSAL FOR ANY COUPLE. WHEREVER WE HAVE BEEN BEFORE THERE HAS BEEN SOMEWHERE WHERE WE COULD EAT OUT OF THE DINING ROOM. DOGS WELCOME? NO, DOGA BARELY TOLERATED. WE LEARNED FROM IT.

  : It was quiet. Everyone was friendly and helpful
  : Bed a little soft, flattish pillows, but enough of them to be OK
