This is our Budget pick in Plymouth. It suits families and couples who want the water on the doorstep and plan to drive. The property lists beachfront access, a swimming pool, an indoor pool, free parking and family rooms.
It also suits anyone visiting Plimoth Patuxet, which is close by.
Skip it if you want to walk to the historic sights in town. Pilgrim Hall Museum and the National Monument to the Forefathers are both far on foot. Skip it too if you expect a rich breakfast. Guests say it is limited.
Location and getting around
The address is 150 Warren Avenue. The location score is 9.2 out of 10, and guests like that the hotel sits directly on the waterfront.
Plimoth Patuxet is about 0.5 km away, roughly a 6-minute walk. That is the easy one.
Pilgrim Hall Museum is about 4.4 km away, an estimated 55 minutes on foot. The National Monument to the Forefathers is about 5.1 km, around 64 minutes. Both are far. Plan to drive, take public transport or use a taxi. All walking times are straight-line estimates, so real routes can be longer.
What guests say
The score is 8.0 out of 10 from 842 reviews. That is a large sample, but it put the hotel last of 7 eligible properties on score. In Plymouth, the competition rates well.
Guests praise the waterfront setting, near the town centre and historical sites, and the direct entry to a private sandy area and the water.
Breakfast is the main complaint. It includes waffles and bagels, but guests often find it short on protein and variety.
Price and how it compares with our other picks
The reference price was €94.64 a night, about €189 for two nights. It is a reference price seen for a 2-night stay in November 2026 for 2 adults, not a live quote. Check today's price for your dates.
The sample median was €108.36 a night, so this hotel came in about 13% below it. Our Best Value pick, Holiday Inn Express - Plymouth by IHG, scores 8.6 and was €100.38 a night, only about €6 more. Our Luxury pick, Mirbeau Inn & Spa - Plymouth, scores 9.4 at €412.23 a night.
The honest read: the Budget and Best Value picks cost almost the same. Choose Pilgrim Sands for the beach and pools. Choose the Holiday Inn Express if a higher guest score matters more. Breakfast is listed as continental and buffet; check whether your rate includes it.

Before you book
Confirm the opening times of the pools and the beach area for November, along with any fees. Check cancellation terms, which have not been assessed. Room size, noise and renovation condition have not been assessed either, so read recent reviews. If breakfast matters to you, look at recent photos or plan to eat out.
