"It's the little things"

I have stayed at quite a few Premier Inns over the past three or four years and this is the first one I would not return to. Sure, it meets company standards for cleanliness and comfort but seems to be seriously under staffed. On arrival there was a man at reception complaining about something and asking for a discount - a very young staff member could only give head office email. Throughout our stay little things were not able to be sorted - from having to fins out own table at very busy breakfast times but being required to book for dinner when there were always tables galore, through one person being responsible for check-in, reception and service at the bar, to losing money in the quite expensive vending machine only to be told "it's not our machine there's nothing I can do". I'm not blaming the staff - they were for the most part quite young and were (again for the most part) trying their best but I feel this hotel suffers from a lack of leadership which either empowers or takes responsibility for dealing with problems. These little issues are handled much better at other P I hotels.

"Brill stay"

Fab stay. Just what we needed. Comfy room, bathroom, tea/coffee making facilities. It was good to have the option to have food there!!! The meal deal was good. You could get a 2 course evening meal with a small drink and breakfast for £26! Very comfortable per person. The only one thing personal for my is they could have had a bottle of water (small) in the room! Arrive early as parking is at a premium not the premium inns fault
