The staff were excellent, we were greeted with friendly courtesy every time. The breakfast was excellent with a great range of choices. The room was interesting with a very comfortable bed with clean bedding. The bathroom was clean and had everything we needed, although it would have been nice to have had large bath towels. The only real criticism I would have is that the carpet and curtains in our room were absolutely filthy, the latter had a huge coffee/tea stain on the bottom. There was visible dust on the furniture but, in their defence, the furniture was dark wood which is likely to show every speck of dirt. Much of the decor was rather gothically gloomy but I presume that was intended to be in keeping with the period feel of the building. For an overnight stop in Exeter it was perfectly adequate and was very central which was useful. It was great to have a car park right opposite the hotel.
