We were late arriving due to a lot of traffic in the M5 & were very tired on arrival. The reception was unmanned & we had to ring for help to check in. Whilst the member of staff was pleasant it took some time for the correct rooms to be sorted out & this is not helpful when you just want to unwind & go to sleep. I had booked two rooms one for my husband & I & one for my adult daughter. Finally we found our rooms & attempted to get a good nights rest. Unfortunately our room faced the carpark/road & to start with was incredibly noisy. My daughter's room faced the rear of the building so was a lot quieter. The ambient room temperature was difficult to get right so neither my husband nor I really slept properly.

The location was ideal and was principally why we booked to stay the night as we were attending a family function the next day at a venue close by. Whilst compact the room was clean & had hot drink making equipment which was great especially as we arrived so late. It was only an overnight stay so from that perspective it had all that we needed. We didn't eat at the hotel or use the facilities but it was useful to know that these were available had we been able.

Excessive dust on top of bathroom cabinet, clearly not been touched in quite a while. A big let down on the rest of the room, & my only complaint from a great stay

Lovely comfortable room & bigger than expected single bed (room 221), well facilitated & the room itself was clean - but see bathroom comments in next column…

We didn’t require much at all during our stay but I wasn’t impressed by a couple of passing interactions with staff. A girl on reception didn’t seem very interested when I reported a faulty reading light on departure and a girl behind the bar walked off and didn’t return when we asked for our water bottles to be filled. So a bit of Customer Service training might help here.

We booked because it was very close to family that we were visiting (arriving late due to traffic delays). We loved the air conditioned Motel style room (with outside area and parking space). The Pub and restaurant being next door was also very convenient. The breakfast was of excellent quality and serving staff were very efficient.

With the population of Exeter and neighbouring towns increasing there is now a lot of traffic using the ring-road immediately outside the hotel. There is a fair amount of rumble, screeching of brakes and sounding of horns particularly during rush hours. I visited during a heat wave so had to make the choice of opening the windows and hearing the traffic or close the window and hear the air-conditioning. If it hadn’t been for this minor niggle my stay at the Devon Hotel would have been absolutely perfect!

The warm welcome at reception. The well equipped room with mini fridge, safe, bath. The room was discreetly maintained each morning.

The bathroom is a bit small.

The rooms are clean and comfortable - we had rooms at the back are they are very quiet. The breakfast is excellent as is the evening meal in the restaurant. The location is convenient for excursions in and around Exeter. The staff were very friendly, helpful and accommodating to our requests..

Bed was a double, so felt quite small. Air con not very effective, room quite small.

It was very nice having the patio outside the room, nice to have a bath. Evening meal (carvery) very nice, served by Jake who was fab. Good breakfast. Restaurant was lovely, felt opulent, rooms not of the same standard.

The only thing I can think of was that the window blind took a bit of manipulating to ensure privacy.

Excellent bathroom! Great staff. Restaurant was good, too. I'm sure we'll be back before long.

The staff we're really kind and helpful. I was upgraded which was super lovely of them. The room was well presented and mostly clean. The air conditioning was on when I arrived which was great. Very nice place.

As it was warm outside the inside temperature was a bit high but can't be helped. I didn't switch on Air con unit on the wall so can't report on effectiveness.

The Single room was more spacious than I was expecting and had a fridge which didn't buzz all night. Hurrah! Lots of drinks supplies. Bathroom also a good size. Very friendly welcome. Excellent price for midweek stay. Parking good.
