Dunstable South A5 hotel

Clean, refurbished so plenty of plugs and USB ports. Comfortable and cool room. Quiet. Good nights sleep. We stay in a lot of premier inns and this was a nice one! Close to a village where there is a good fish and chip shop and convenience store.

Carpets are filthy not been swept especially in the corridors. Thick dust on clothes hangers and the shelves above. Spiders in the bathroom. Premier plus room ok, been in better. Teenager’s riding bikes around the car park, which is complete with broken glass. Just generally a forgotten hotel.

Overall the hotel is what you would expect, the car park looks like a dumping ground for rubbish, as for the restaurant next door, don’t bother unless you don’t eat a lot and enjoy waiting a long time for anything. 30 minutes for the breakfast to arrive and 10 minutes before they asked what we wanted, didn’t see the staff again.

Great hotel, very clean throughout, staff were very welcoming we will definitely revisit when next in the area. It was only a very short drive to Whipsnade zoo. So I would recommend doing that in the area it is a great great great zoo. Was very impressed

We stayed for one night as we were visiting Whipsnade zoo as a family trip. Having stayed at this hotel a couple of times before over the years we were looking forward to our stay but upon arrival at the hotel the greeting from the lady on reception was incredibly rude and unfriendly and felt like we were inconveniencing her. As we were being checked in I asked if our two rooms were together being one double and one twin room, as I had previously emailed the hotel requesting this as our teenage daughters were in the twin room. I was told this was not possible and the twin room was along the same corridor, I guess I shouldn't have been surprised as the hotel hadn't even had the decency to reply to my email. The rooms were ok but felt like they could have been alot cleaner particularly the floors and the bed sheets on the double bed were stained! Our meals at the adjoining pub ' The Horse and Jockey ' were very nice with a friendly welcoming service and good food and drink which we all enjoyed! Unfortunately I wouldn't want to stay at this hotel again and think that it now appears more suitable for travelling tradesmen judging by all the vans in the car park and all the the self closing hotel doors crashing shut from 6am onwards.....this didn't particularly feel like a family hotel !
