Holiday Inn Express - Plymouth by IHG is our Best Value pick in Plymouth. It suits travellers who want a tidy room, a hearty breakfast and practical extras such as a gym, a pool and free parking. Guests praise the fresh bedding and spotless bathrooms.
Light sleepers may want to think twice. Some guests hear street traffic, elevators and hallway activity. This is also a 3-star hotel, so if you want a more upscale stay, the Luxury pick is in a different price bracket entirely.
Location and getting around
The hotel is at 155 Samoset Street. Guests rate the location 8.7 out of 10.
The National Monument to the Forefathers is about 1.4 km away, roughly 18 minutes on foot. Pilgrim Hall Museum is about 1.9 km, around 24 minutes. Plimoth Patuxet is about 5.3 km away, or 66 minutes on foot, which is far, so plan on a car, public transport or a taxi for that visit. Walking times are straight-line estimates, so real routes can take longer.
Free parking is listed by the property, which makes driving to the outlying sights easier. Confirm the terms for your dates.
What guests say
The score is 8.6 out of 10 from 628 reviews. That placed it joint second of 7 eligible properties in the provider sample.
Breakfast is a highlight. Guests describe a varied buffet with hot items such as eggs and sausages, plus a pancake machine. Cleanliness also scores well, with tidy, well-kept rooms.
Noise is the trade-off. Some guests find it peaceful, while others hear the street, the elevators and people in the corridors.
