Exe Mitre

The Hotel Eurostars Mitre is plain and low-key and attracts business travelers and tourists looking for an inexpensive place to stay. It's housed in a red-brick building with half-frosted windows and electronic sliding entry doors. A marble reception desk with recessed lighting sits adjacent to a seating area with velour sofas and chairs in shades of orange under an abstract art piece. The seating area leads to a step-down dining room with a variegated wood floor and windows to the street. Breakfast is set out here on attractive buffet tables with glass pitchers and cloth-lined baskets. Beige linen weave chairs and light-wood tables sit under a softly lit, raised ceiling. The reception area and breakfast room provide a tidy, attractive atmosphere to kick off the day, but given the lack of a bar or all-day restaurant, there is really no place that invites lingering.
