Exeter Hotel

Exeter Hotel

8/10 Good
"Great location, close to the waterfront downtown area. If you are subject to noise, do not book the rooms adjacent to the waterfront as it is noisy and to cool the room down, you need to open the windows. I asked them to move me to a garden room in the back and it was fine, no view of the water but for me a good trade-off to get a good nights sleep. Be aware, they only have seven or eight parking spots on a first come first serve basis, and you must pay for one of those. Otherwise, you must download the Parka parking app and find a Roadside spot to park, which is a 5 to 10 minute walk. Overall a great experience!"
