Courtyard by Marriott Exeter Sandy Park

Courtyard by Marriott Exeter Sandy Park

8/10 Good
"Fantastic view for breakfast and. Dry comfy chairs. Good breakfast but fruit disappointing - this was kept by the open kitchen - fruit looked dry and unappetising- not much of it either. Staff were super friendly and bent over backwards to make a difference- especially reception lady and staff in bar where food served - chef made tartar sauce from scratch for me as they didn’t have any pre bought!"
