Solihull Town Centre Hotel

Wir waren zu einem Projekt bei Landrover und hatten im Premier Inn Town Center genächtigt. Die Dame am Empfang war freundlich, auch wenn eine EC Karte nicht akzeptiert wurde (Banken um die Ecke). Was störte war die Temperatur im Hotel, der Gang war sehr warm und die Luft trocken, auch die Klimaanlage brachte im Zimmer kaum einen Erfolg. Auch die Versorgung mit Internet (nur 30 min kostenlos mit teilweise geringen Übertragungsraten) und TV (nur englischsprachiges Programm) sind als Mangel anzumerken. Die Parkplatzsituation ist ja schon beschrieben worden, für JLR Mitarbeiter- oder Zulieferer aber ganz i.O. Frühstück war im Preis von bis zu 79 Pfund nicht mit inbegriffen, man konnte zwischen 2,95 und 8,95 Frühstück wählen. Um die Ecke gibt es diverse Pups und Restaurants.

Great hotel, premier plus rooms large and have everything required for aq short stay. Comfy beds, breakfast plenty of choice.

We were here (and to Birmingham) for a nostalgic trip as we'd not been back for 22 years! I used to work at the police station as a civvy in Solihull and saw Touchwood being built (actually was allowed inside the construction area when it was just organised rubble and scaffolding), and it had been up and running for about 2 years when I left. It's still in mint condition given its now about 25 years old, so that's great 👍. The rest of Solihull has changed dramatically; it was a shock to me 😅. But I digress. The Premier was really nice, all staff very welcoming and friendly. Breakfast was varied and plentiful, and cooked great. Dinner was nice but we only ate there once as unfortunately with most chains, it's "samey" with little variation over time, so we then ate out. Loads and loads of different eateries within literal yards of the Premier, completely spoiled for choice; you won't go hungry. Some are very expensive (like the Thai restaurant), others not so much. We went to the Flute & Flagon I think it was, a pub, and the food was delicious 🤤 and very reasonably priced. Back to the Premier after where the TV was huge and loads of free channels to choose from, before retiring to bed which was very comfy, bigger than ours, lol, and pillows really floofy. The aircon was simple to work and worked well. The bathroom had 2 lights - normal white, and a purple one, which I used as a nightlight as the blackout curtains are exceptionally efficient, you can't see your hand in front of your face 🤭, but leave a gap and the sun at stupid o'clock wakes you up. Speaking of being woken up, try and get an upstairs room - as the heifer above us woke us at about 8am if not earlier stomping around 😕. The car parking opposite is perfectly sited for the Premier, and we were able to buy our ticket by phone app for the 3 days we were there upon arrival, rather than having to remember to renew every 24hrs. It's a secure carpark, so I recommend that, too. If/when we come back to Solihull, I'd use this Premier Inn, and the same carpark. That's about it 👍.

Typical Premier Inn quality so no complaints there. Restaurant in situ so no need to venture out after a long drive - a varied menu with meal-deal options - service in the restaurant was excellent - special mention to our waitress Kayleigh - service with a smile 👍😀

What a lovely hotel. Excellent location for Solihull Festival. Very clean and spacious rooms with air conditioning. Staff very pleasant and friendly. A special shoutout to Debbie who works in the restaurant at breakfast. It was a pleasure to be looked after by her. Nothing was too much trouble for her and we had a giggle every morning. Looking forward to staying here again next year.
