Grosvenor Hotel Plymouth, Plymouth

Advantages: Position - within 5 minutes of the station and 10 mins from town.
Disadvantages: The Hotel and Staff are awful.

...Absolutely appalling little hotel. The hotel itself was dirty (carpets etc.), our shower didn't work and we were told we had missed breakfast by one minute (even though our watches said their clock was fast). No options - just "breakfast is finished". When I suggested her clock was fast, she marched over to the TV and switched it on with Teletext showing the time (which was now after 9am) and marched off without a word! The Staff/owners were curt and very unfriendly. Horrible. Avoid at all costs! Unfortunately we didn't do enough research before booking. If you haven't booked yet then DON'T. You will find that there are a lot of well reviewed hotels/B&Bs in Plymouth. Nobody has naything nice to say about this dive!... Read review

Quite high up on a hillside, so took me a little while to actually find the road up to it from the A38. http://www.information-britain.co.uk/showPlace.cfm?PlaceID=4548 ******************************** Lodgings - Mr M. Having decided to stay at the lodgings I found while working there, I pulled up outside the house of Mr... Read review
