"Peaceful overnight stay."

Overnight stay for a friend’s party. Nice location, but not very well signposted. Parking is shared with the adjoining Beefeater and also a Country Park, so is very busy, especially when the weather is good! Lots of people staying, but it wasn’t noisy and I managed a decent nights sleep. Bed comfortable, but I found the firm pillows too hard and the soft ones just tooo soft! One of each solved the problem! I do think only 2 teabags is a bit mean, but hey that’s what they do these days! There is no air conditioning, which I should think causes problems when the weather is hot! Had breakfast with friends on the following morning. Very nice and decent quality, although the bacon was cold. Good choice of items.

"Bedford Priory marina"

The hotel is situated within the country park, lovely location with lots to do literally outside the hotel doors. The adjoining beefeater restaurant was as expected very busy. Excellent breakfast with priority for hotel guests.

"The managers in The Bar! Pints & Burgers mean more than Guests or Service!"

If you are someone who believes that having paid nearly £120 for a room, you should get some level of Customer Service, or you think that managers should be able to manage, both people and situations in a Professional manner. Then sadly this IS NOT the place for you! However if you believe that the best way to resolve an issue that you have been presented with, is to ignore or hide from it and prioritise people who have dropped in for a pint over those that have paid hundreds of pounds for your hospitality, then you have found Nirvana! Because the manager on duty last night, excelled himself and shot to the top of the 'Incompetent Member of Staff' Charts! After going for a Run, i attempted to have a shower, unfortunately there was no hot water in the shower, there was piping hot water in the sink, but the shower was freezing cold. I went to reception at 18:15 to inform the lady of the problem, she informed me she would contact the manager and he would be along soon, i explained that i needed a shower and then needed to go out for dinner. I asked if they had another room, but was told they were fully booked. I waited in my room for 45 minutes and then, with no sign of the manager, returned to reception, she informed me that the manager was really busy, but was 'on his way', i returned to my room and waited another 20 minutes! Now totally frustrated with the lack of concern or assistance from anyone, i returned once more to reception, where the lady informed me that the manager was too busy in the restaurant, so had phoned the housekeeper, at home, to come in and sort it. I explained that it needed resolving asap, she informed me the housekeeper would be along to my room shortly, as soon as she arrived. I returned to my room and waited another 30 minutes, with still no sign of anyone. Again i returned to reception and was told that the manager couldn't be contacted and sometimes when they are busy, they don't have hot water! I explained that I have hot water in the sink, just not the shower. She said again, that the housekeeper was on her way in. I explained that it was now after 8pm and i needed to go to dinner. I had not been able to shower and would like to know why the manager, despite the promise of "No Question Too Big. Or Too Small" quote throughout the hotel and 'A Goodnight Guaranteed' plastered across all surfaces, refused to help me. She had no answer! So in short the manager felt that it was more important to ensure that everyone had their burgers on time, than deal with guests who had major issues!!! The final nail in the managers coffin, was that the restaurant was shut down the following morning for 'An Unknown Reason!' and nobody got any breakfast! They didn't even have the common sense or decency, to put out a couple of flasks of hot coffee for all the guests who had paid for breakfast, simply told them that they were 'Not Allowed to!" Only a Presumption - But having worked with H&S previously, to not be able to even serve hot drinks, it smacks of a Hygiene closure!

Hotel description Moor up for the night at Premier Inn Bedford (Priory Marina) and you'll be sure of a great night's sleep. Located right next to the marina and lake in the tranquil Priory Country Park, yet within a 5-minute drive of Bedford town centre, you'll have a whole fleet of entertainment options within easy reach. Take the inside track at Bedford International Athletic Stadium. Hit the big sales at Milton Keynes' shopping malls. Plot a course to London on the fast train to St Pancras. Then drop into our tasty restaurant with attractive alfresco dining area, and drift off in an extra-comfy bed.
