Proximity to all that we wanted to do in Plymouth and a small distance from the waterfront and it's crowds and noise. A peaceful location and stay.

We had a great stay!! Perfect area! The beds were comfy and the room was clean. My kids loved the water slide and pool. Unfortunately we couldn’t stay long because the chlorine smell is very strong and our eyes were burning lol- that’s a me issue though, I’m sensitive to it. The hot tub was also not working which was disappointing to my husband and I. The water slide is amazing, my kids had a blast!

“They were just holding it together” it was supposed to have a breakfast bar, but it was a couple of pastries and a couple of apples, at best. They served coffee, but no one kept up on the breakfast table at all. If you can handle the mediocre accommodations and staff assistance, the location was perfect.

Great location.Walkable to many notable historic sites in town and awesome bars/restaurants. Clean, recently renovated & friendly staff. Fun pool for the kids and adults will enjoy the hot tub which could use some updates. The restaurant (CJs), was closed due to an emergency renovation. I was notified about a week prior to my arrival about the restaurant being closed. It didn’t really affect anything- there are many great places to eat. Overall, a good stay.
