"Dated and dirty"

WE stayed at the Premier Inn Priory Marina due to the location - we were in the Bedford Running Festival. The rooms are very dated, no Air con, so a fan was provided which was broken! WE ate at the Beefeater next door for convenience and really wished we hadnt. The food it not good quality, the restaurant is dirty and the staff we more interested in chatting than serving and clearing tables. It took about 20 mins to get out drinks, which were sat on the bar for at least 5 mins. All in all a very disappointing stay - recommend the Premier Inn in the town next time.

"Do not book"

NEEDS A MAKEOVER Do Not use the Beefeater. This Premier Inn is very dated. No air con and the fan in the room was broken. Very tired bathrooms. We are in the beefeater and will never visit or recommend again. Food was poor, staff were stood around chatting when there were tables to clear and clean, we waited nearly 30 mins for drinks which were sat on the bar waiting to be delivered to the table (would have been quicker to walk over and get it) one member of staff picked up the chit read it and out it down again and walked away! Cobwebs and spiders on the ceiling general dirty restaurant and toilets. Food was unavailable from the menu. The quality of food was poor! And parts of meals were missing like onion rings which came with one of the burgers had to be asked for and it was then cooked from fresh as we then waited another 10 mins for the onion rings to arrive. We did also note a table close to us ordered steak and the sauce for the steak came out with their desserts. The room was quiet, but desperately needs a makeover, no air con in the room which was warm so a fan was provided which was broken. All in all a disappointment as you should be able to rely on the Premier Inn brand.

"A lovely spot for a stay"

We were visiting friends in the area and liked the location of Priory Marina as attractive but with easy access. We like to walk and spent one day wandering around the lake and along by the river. This site was ideal for easily driving out to visit our friends, see the wider area by car, but equally have somewhere to walk to that is of interest. The walk along the footpaths/cycleways in to Bedford itself was straightforward, and the section known as The Embankment, leading to the town centre, was lovely. It took about 30 mins to walk in to town though, not knowing the area, I might feel wary of parts of it after dark! The path passes behind the Bingo Hall, Cineworld, and a carpark/industrial estate and feels quite remote for that section.

"Good stay"

We enjoyed our stay in Bedford. Very clean and friendly staff. Thanks to Angela for providing us with directions and a map of the area and Laren for helping me with my phone to use wi-fi. It was next door to a Beefeater restaurant which we used each night.

"A good value base for local events"

I chose the hotel for both convenience and a good location that was relatively close to the event I was visiting. I found without exception all staff to be friendly, helpful and polite, they all made me feel very welcome. I was suprised and liked the fact that the Beefeater bar and restaurant was just a few steps from reception. Although a busy weekend for the hotel, the staff coped really well. The room although on the smaller side was adequate for my needs, and although in need of proper air conditioning, this was easily managed , and the windows are able to be opened, with limited opening so can be left open. The outside temperature was 20c during the day , but the cool temperature overnight helped, but you will experience a little noise due to proximity of ducks and geese on the nearby lake, but again to be expected. A fan was provided in the room if required. I found the room had all I needed, in fact my only slight niggle was the low water pressure when using the shower.it was just adequate. Ample parking even though the hotel was busy, nice spacious terrace area adjacent to bar and restaurant. I would stay here again with little hesitation, but imtge rooms do need air conditioning but Premier Inn are very upfront about this. I found my stay pretty much met my expectations, and the enthusiastic staff and service more than made up for any shortcomings. I would definitely stay here again.

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.
