Acceptable stay near Tamar Bridge

free parkingcomfy bedpoor foodseparate menu
The location near the Brunel bridge suited my needs well. Free parking was available directly outside. The room had a large, comfy bed. I found the shower decent.
The food wasn't great. I felt that it should have been sent back. The fish served from the separate fish menu tasted poor. It was a pity, because the staff were nice.
