A Home From Home 2
The listing stated there would be eggs and bread for a self made breakfast. This couldn’t be further from the truth, I saw no sign of the eggs or bread and was not shown a kitchen. Not what I was expecting at all. Please can I be reimbursed for this difference.

Copthorne Hotel Plymouth
Loved staying at the Copthorne Hotel. Looks dreadful from the outside but beautiful inside. Staff were so friendly. Would highly recommend upgrading to a Club Room, well worth the extra. Happy to return to this hotel.

Moxy Plymouth
One night stay and it was quitw good. The bed was comfy the shower was great. The whole place is very new hip and fresh. Only downside is the staff at reception and restaurant. Everything takes absolute ages! Maybe they're understaffed. Would definitely stay again.

Crowne Plaza Plymouth by IHG
For the price i expected better: Paid for the lounge access as part of the room, but they did not load it onto the card, had to ask, so if course wasn't introduced to where it was. No introduction on where to get breakfast. The room card would stop working every night so have to back to reception ...
