Plymouth Copthore Hotel

Advantages: Great Location
Disadvantages: More of a Good 3* Hotel than a 4* Hotel.

I have mixed views on the Plymouth Copthorne Hotel. I have stayed here numerous times, and have experienced a variety of services from "average" to "good". Official details about the hotel (and booking rates) can be found here: http://www.benbow.org.uk/CopthornePlymouth.htm First of all, I have never had a "bad" experience in the Copthorne. There have been times where an issue arose, but this was then sorted out by the front desk staff. Saying that, the issue shouldn't have arisen in the first place. Pro's : Great Location in the center of Plymouth. If you are travelling by train, it is a 3 minute walk away from the station (or a really cheap taxi ride!). The prices - especially for weekend deals - can be competative compared to other hotels / B&B's in the area. They have parking under the hotel for hotel guests ...

Review of Copthorne Plymouth, Plymouth

A Bad Nights Sleep at Plymouth Travelodge

Advantages: Good location
Disadvantages: Lumpy Beds, Noisy

A recent trip to Plymouth meant I needed to book a hotel for the night for me and my partner - but due to low funds it needed to be something cheap and cheerful. Enter the local Travelodge. I have to admit to having never stayed in a Travelodge before, but had heard that they were a cheap alternative. ~~Price~~ I have to say that I was quite shocked at how much one night would cost as I have stayed in cheaper and more luxurious places than this before. Unfortunately we couldn?t find a room anywhere else in Plymouth for that night due to various events that were taking place in the city. The Travelodge we eventually looked at didn?t have any standard double rooms available so we had to go with the family room which ended up costing us £79! I have to say these are not the type of prices I am used to hearing people quote when ...

Review of Travelodge Plymouth, Plymouth

Plymouth

Advantages: Sea and country not far apart
Disadvantages: Old city miles from the rest of UK

I was born and bred in Plymouth and moved away at 26 years old because of work. I visit family about once a month and in my mind Plymouth is the best city in the world, but it does have faults. I have attemped to give an insight in Plymouth under varying sub headings so the reader can pick out info relevant to them. HISTORY Plymouth has alot of it. The Pilgrim Fathers sailed from here from Mayflower steps, still evident today. The most famous person is Sir Francis Drake who led the battle against the spanish armada from his bout the Golden Hind. His home Buckland Abbey is only a few miles inland towards Dartmoor. Allegedly, Sir Frances finished his games of bowls before sailing, but apparently it was low water and he could not sail even if he wanted to. Upon the famous Plymouth Hoe is a statue honouring him. Another large piece ...
