The Devon Hotel A Heritage Hotel
Plymouth International
Easy check in, really happy and friendly staff. The room had some bugs, it was very spacious though.

Millennium Hotel New Plymouth Waterfront
Easy access to local dining area. Salt restaurant staff were fantastic and the meal in the restaurant was exceptional - beyond anything I had expected for a hotel restaurant. Clean, Tidy and quiet, decor is a little dated. Self parking and no extra cost is a bonus!

Distinction New Plymouth Hotel
This hotel is nice and close to the city centre. We enjoyed the proximity to restaurants and the coastal walkway. The accommodation was spacious for our family and staff helped when we had issues with aircon and some supplies in our room.
