Courtyard by Marriott Exeter Sandy Park

Modern property with a rooftop bar/restaurant offering views, on-site parking and EV chargers, and a gym. Downsides noted include paid parking, occasional lift outages or closures, and periods with no room service or restaurant availability.

Overall cleanliness is rated highly across rooms and public areas. A few reviews mention lapses such as dusty rooms, corridor items left, sewage smells in some bathrooms, and breakfast areas not cleared promptly.

Rooms are modern, spacious and comfortable with large TVs, charging points and useful interconnecting options, though some lack views. Recurring issues include ineffective or noisy air conditioning, intermittent Wi‑Fi, occasional noise from floors above, and frosted‑glass bathroom privacy concerns.

Staff are frequently praised as friendly, professional and helpful, often resolving issues and accommodating requests. However, check‑in queues and slow bar/restaurant service occur at busy times.

Right beside Sandy Park and close to the M5/airport, making it ideal for rugby visits and road travel; several guests also mention Newcourt station nearby. It isn’t central and the approach/parking can be confusing and is chargeable.

Breakfast is often enjoyed, with good variety and views, but multiple reports cite queues, cold or missing items and uneven organisation. Evening dining is inconsistent, with limited menus, occasional closures and some dishes considered poor or overpriced.
