"Not the best nights' sleep"

Unfortunately the room had an awful smell of cigarette smoke also the fan in the bathroom was faulty so I had to listen to it running ALL night. It was reported to reception when I left so I hope it gets fixed so no other guests have the same issue.

"Overnight stop"

Very nice stay. Large room, very clean and comfortsble. Hotel covid precautions seemed excellent. Only minor issue was that we were unable to connect to the free WiFi service. Otherwise excellent and very good value. Didn't have breakfast

"Hotel need a little TLC!"

We've stayed at this hotel twice in the last few weeks. My parents live nearby, but they are still being cautious due to Coronavirus, so we weren't able to stay with them. The hotel is ideally situated, just a mile or so from their house and generally in a great location for exploring Cheshire and the surrounding area. There was a significant price difference between our two visits - Roughly £40 per night for our first stay, but more like £70 per night for our second stay. Neither stay was at a weekend, so this price differential seemed odd to us. The car park is pretty big and parking is easy - You can nearly always find a good space close to the main building. The reception staff were business-like and pleasant enough, although perhaps lacking in warmth and looking a bit fed up at times! (A smile and a little small-talk goes a long way!) However, the young man who was managing the hotel on our second visit was very chatty, friendly and good humoured. He also sorted the TV for us which was only giving us access to two channels. Apparently, it needed resetting. So we didn't have the full range of channels on the first day of our second visit. This wasn't a major issue for us, but I'm surprised it hadn't been checked beforehand. Our rooms for both stays (rooms 2 and 16 on the ground floor) were a good size and the beds were very comfortable. Typical Premier Inn style rooms, as you would expect. Breakfast in the Blue Cap next door was perfectly adequate, and the staff working there were generally polite and efficient. Our main issue was with the damp/musty smell in the hotel rooms. The whole building didn't feel well ventilated. Evidence of damp was obvious, especially in room 16 where the wooden panelling behind the toilet and around the bath was rotting in places. Also, signs of damp on the ceiling above the bath, with plaster and paint flaking off. There was even a damp smell in the corridors, and the carpet looked old and in need of a professional clean. The whole place just feels tired and in need of a makeover. It's only a small building, but it needs a bit of money spending on it. Once it's had a good refurb, it will be absolutely fine, and I'm sure people will use it time and again as the location is so handy with a nice pub next door. Thanks for having us! The hotel was nice and quiet, and we will probably come again, but I hope everything is a little cleaner and 'fresher' next time.

"Ruined anniversary "

What was suppose to be a lovely weekend was ruined by smelly ,dated room , unprofessional staff and aggressive customers. Always stay in premier inn as we know what we are getting but this was not the case. Room was very dated and smelt like old people’s room!! Clothes and suitcase came home smelling musky from room ! Didn’t feel like a premier inn room at all. Bed was higher then tv so struggled to watch tv. No sockets near bed. Only 4 in room near tv. So couldn’t charge phone near bed. Bathroom was rotting. Cold water was warm! When running bath the shower was on. No extractor fan in bathroom so room was very hot when showering. Was awful. Only positive was the room itself was clean. Could not fault the cleaners. Just shame about rest. This hotel has ruined our positive experience with premier inns hotels. Turns out you don’t actually not what your getting.

Hotel description Nestled in peaceful Cheshire countryside, Premier Inn Northwich Sandiway is both 'a million miles away' and incredibly convenient. You're just minutes from the M6 and M56 motorways, the historic sights of Chester and the bright lights of Manchester. Go Ape in Delamere Forest. Test out the latest sports cars at Oulton Park Race Track. Get on your motorbike at Thundersprint. Or pick your favourites at the Tatton Flower Show and Cheshire County Show. Then head back to a warm welcome, extra-comfy beds and a lovely meal at the restaurant next door.
