"Arrived at the Mews and had difficulty finding keys as instructions were not very clear. I had paid extra for a parking permit and no permit was provided in the unit, had to pay again to park car on street as we were warned that they monitor these streets day and night. We booked this unit as we needed to do some laundry, it lists a washer and dryer in the amenities to find out we only had a washing machine and no dryer. Tried calling the housekeeping number and did not get an answer till 9am...

Exeter Rougemont hotel by Sunday

Exeter Rougemont hotel by Sunday

8/10 Good
"I had a comfortable night - despite facing the main road the double glazing kept the noise out (although as the weather was dreadful there were fewer drunken parties roaming the streets compared with a typical Saturday night). I didn't have breakfast so can't comment. My room was recently decorated though other parts of the hotel (such as the carpet on the main stair) could do with some attention."

What is a historic hotel like in Exeter?

What is the difference between a historic hotel and a heritage hotel?
"Heritage hotel" is a term often used in Asia and Europe, while "historic hotel" is a term often used in the U.S. but overall the terms are quite similar. The architecture and building of a historic hotel is generally the most significant aspect. For a heritage hotel, often it's the cultural value and how it influenced the community.
Do historic hotels in Exeter have modern facilities?
Hotels include modern conveniences and safety features you've come to expect, but every effort is made to preserve historic facades and treasured traditions. Private rooms with updated bathroom facilities, heating and air conditioning, free and fast Internet, and the normal amenities found at a contemporary hotel should be available at a historic hotel. When you choose a historic hotel in Exeter, don't worry that you'll find a place that's uncomfortable or rundown.
