Disappointing
Not good. The dog muck in the car park should have been a warning. Staff were lovely really helpful but the place is tired, bed’s uncomfortable I’d say the bed needs replacing. Mattress broken. Dirty towels in room. Hairs in sink. Needs a complete re fit to be on par with other places i stay in using Hotels.com. This is below the standards I expect. Was cheap but id happily pay more for better. No ales. Only lager.

Sharon - Christmas stay
My first room double had a broken bed. When I tried to leave on Christmas morning I could not open the door I tried ringing but no-one answered. I had to ring my son who lives Saltash he came to the Brunel and was able to raise the alarm with the hotel. They gave me the room next door which was ok. What have I been charged for this 4 night stay.

Some allowances must be made as the Brunel is an old building such as the floors are a bit uneven, windows are single glazed. There was little hot water and water pressure was poor however the rooms were warm and the bed was comfortable. The Brunel does not serve breakfast but next door is the Fresh Fox, a good café or Olivia's Brews and Bites across the road, well worth a visit. Bar meals are served in the evenings.

Good place for one night and affordable! It looks so on a busy street so the road noise can be an issue. The local food was great! Spanish restaurant down the hill on the river was outstanding

Decent place to spend the night.
A pretty good room for the night given what I had paid.
The bed creaked a lot, but I didn't sleep badly on it. Room was a good size, check in was easy and the location was good.

Good price and location
Great price and location. Teamed up with neighbours to supply breakfast at reduced price.
Nothing really to add, clean and functional, allows pets. Pub staff very friendly and helpful, would stay again and bring family.

Brunel, Saltash
There was no hot water at the bathroom hand basin until I worked out I had to run the bath tap first and let it run as I used the basin! Some plumbing!
It was also disappointing that the hotel didn't serve breakfast but had an 'arrangement; at a cafe next door.

Stay clear
Pretty dreadful. Place stank of Canabis and cigarettes. Room was a good size. Bathroom was old and tired, lots of weird marks on the wall. Staff were really great and understanding. I had a full refund and did not stay. Just needs a good refurb and rebrand. Could be lovely.

This rom was advertised as a family room but it was basic. A dirty towel was left behind the television, the double bed mattress was stained, there was no plug for the basin and the shower could not be used, the controls were hanging off the wall. The room was very hot and although the heating was turned down it was still too hot to sleep properly and the window could not be opened. The room was advertised as room only, no breakfast supplied, there was a very good cafe next door which opened early. The bar did afternoon and evening meals from Wednesday onwards these were excellent and very reasonable
