"3 nights stay"

Staff very helpful and friendly. Very good location by Priory Marina and Park. Handy for town. Good parking facilities. Easy to find. We enjoyed our stay and the weather was brilliant which gave us the opportunity to do lots of walking which we enjoy.

"Excellent family friendly hotel"

The hotel is very clean. The staff were very helpful and friendly. Especially Rebecca, Julie and Nicola. My 3 year old twins and i stayed there for 3 nights as our house was being made safe to inhabit. The afore- mentioned staff members made our stay a great and memorable one.

"Great location and friendly staff."

Very good, clean place to stay with friendly atmosphere and nice situation beside the lake. Good access to Beefeater next door for meals and drinks. Our bed was very uncomfortable on this occasion but we have stayed at this hotel before and not had that problem.

"Great stay prior to Center Parcs . Race for life was on around the Marina adjacent to the Inn . This made it very busy ,"

Marina and we sat under one of the many umbrellas outside the Beefeater where we got our drinks. Lovely cafe on the lake serving Great home made cakes and drinks. Would definitely stay here again hopefully when heading for Center Parcs. Book early for best Prices

"Tatty, tired, noisy and hideously overpriced for the quality of the place"

This hotel is tired and tatty, in need of refurbishment. When we checked in, there were flies circling the reception ceiling, which reminded me of travels in less advantaged parts of the world. Compared to other Premier Inns, the £100+ price tag was way over the top. Some specific problems: 1. The microscopic vending machine in the lobby happily accepted money but didn't cough up the goods. This isn't a moan from some chocolate-addict missing his fix; my wife needs to take cancer medication with food. Eventually, the receptionist managed to wrangle a Twix bar from the machine, which had consumed three times the advertised price by then. We couldn't be bothered to haggle over the change, so there's a company out there squeezing a tiny extra wedge out a cancer-sufferer. 2. The TV set channels had been dumped somehow, so the there was a single channel available, and "no other channels stored". Again, the receptionist tried to help, reading some scribbled instructions from a piece of paper. After five minutes or so of futile stabbing on the remote, we gave up, asked her to leave, and called it a night. 3, The location of the hotel is right beside the Beefeater. Early-ish in the morning, a delivery lorry reversed up to the back entrance, which was right outside the guest bedroom windows. Being refrigerated, it needed to rev some engine to keep the cooler going. It was VERY LOUD. 4. The Beefeater attached to the hotel was dreadful. Truly awful. The bar staff were surly and indifferent. The first pint of London Pride I got was utterly opaque, and reeked of vinegar. No professional catering person would serve a beer so visibly off. We sat at a table with the previous drinkers' / diners' dirty plates left on it all the time we were at the table. Finally, the open chicken sandwich I ordered was inedible. The the ciabatta bread was too tough for the knife I had and the teeth I own, while the bacon draped over the top was cremated at one end, and grey and raw at the other. My wife thought it was a mushroom - that colour. When I complained, the waitress said, "Well, it is supposed to be chargrilled." In fairness, she did come back and comp us that dish. It was probably the worst culinary experience of my adult life. Immediately on check-in, we had been offered some meal deal with the Beefeater next door at £25 a head. Sensibly, we decided to play it by ear. If we'd paid £50 extra and found how bad the Beefeater was, we would have insisted on our money back. We dodged a bullet turning that offer down. 5. For a hotel that guarantees a good nght's sleep, it's not a quiet place.Throughout the night is the noise of people moving around. Creaking floorboards, squealing fire-doors, key-fobs rattling against bedroom doors, all add up to a bad night's sleep. The shame is, we're stayed in Premier Inns before. The North Shields one is clean and good value for money.

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.
