This was our first time staying here, and the hotel is undergoing a major renovation. The room was immaculate, and the pool was great. The location of this property is PERFECT for walking through downtown Plymouth—a wonderful town. We look forward to staying here again in the future.

Place is old but well kept and was under renovation when we visited so was not able to see the Fitness Room and other amenities. They had free snacks and drinks available which I thought was nice. Location is great and in walking distance to main strip were shops and restaurants are located. Would recommend checking out.
