Best Western Duke of Cornwall Hotel - Plymouth Devon
The Best Western Duke of Cornwall Hotel is set in the heart of Plymouth city centre directly opposite the Plymouth Pavilions where a lot of concerts and shows are held.
The hotel is also a ten minute (max) walk from Plymouth Ferry port or 5 minutes (max) to drive. Plymouth airport is only 5 miles away. It is also well positioned for city centre shopping and the well renowned Union Street, all of which will be explained in full later.

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...

Advantages: Copthorn price. Grand Decor Disadvantages: Copthorn location. Grand price.
...I have stayed in two hotels in plymouth. First the Copthorn hotel and then this year the Grand hotel on the sea front. I stayed at the Copthorn first because it was closer tothe university which I was visiting.
Overall, I enjoyed my stay at both the hotels I visited. The only problem in the Grand was the bar. Although always open it was not always manned. The bar in the copthorn was alot bussier so was always manned. Both of the sets of rooms stayed in were exceptionally clean and well made. The Grand was in a more traditional style, which I though would suit the older visitor. The copthorn more modern in general design.
I ate in both the hotels, and have since ate in the copthorn again on a sunday. Both the meals were delightful, although differed considerably in price.
The staff in both hotels were perfect and always...

The Ibis is easy to find as it is on the main dualcarriageway when entering the city. It is also on a hill so you can... more
