“On Plymouth's harbor, the location is undeniably prime. However, reports of peeling paint, mold, and noise issues suggest significant shortcomings. It seems travelers may find better value and comfort elsewhere in this historic maritime city.”

The long-stay car park was a short walk away. It gave us peace of mind, being just across the road.
