"Average Premier inn"

We stayed here for one night, located right beside the racecourse. Reception on the first floor, good sized rooms but everything else was just average. Staff were friendly enough, would stay again for convenience, if needed.

Ok, so I'll start with the fact I stay here a lot with work and the hotel staff and room are usually fine. What you would expect. The restaurant staff on the other hand, especially if your on your own like I am, or many workers do, are shocking. You will literally get ignored until you have finished at least one drink, then they take your order basically without speaking to you. I'm fine with that I want to get in and out asap because you are made to feel like such an inconvenience. I guess because your just one person the tip wont be as good. Food is bang average, but what you would expect, service is shocking, so shocking I've actually wrote a review for something for the first time. They are all rude, ignorant and if you are after something you better be willing to literally shout because eye contact or speaking isn't good enough, they deliberately dont look at you even when you are clearly wanting something. It's not like i want something free I want to pay for a drink! Even though when a table of 4 is eating it's all "is everything ok sir" can I get you another drink. I gave up last night and just went thirsty and gave up on buying a desert... I'm pretty sure places like this survive on workers, so dont make them feel like idiots when all they want to do is eat asap and go to bed! When I did get to my room i filled up the kettle for a cup of tea and that tasted weird, emptied the kettle and there a thick limescale layer with bits in the cup, gross. As I said never usually have any issue with the hotel or staff but this kettle is grim, especially with covid you would expect things deep cleaned. Anyway rant over.

"Average"

Stayed for a weekend break. I aked for room on the top floor at the end of the corridor as I'm a light sleeper. The hotel had very few guests but they all had rooms next door in the same corridor! The rest of the hotel was empty. Utter stupidity . Great for the cleaners . very noisy for guests. Not going back to this one

"Good stay - Poor management?"

Stay in premier inns and was pretty happy with this overall stay. List of takeaways was received when checking in which a good touch. Room cleaned and tidy, no noise and happy altogether. However, during the stay I heard whispers in the corridor by housekeeping of one of the managers sleeping on shift in one of the rooms. I do not agree with whispers but I find this highly unprofessional. I assume this was during my stay as I walked passed reception many times in AM and did not see anyone there. Housekeeping team seem stressed but unfortunate poor management.

"Awful stay"

My husband is disabled and uses walking aids/stick and when we arrived we parked in disabled bay. The glass doors open at the big entrance. When you go in there is a lift and stairs up to first floor to the reception room (which is rediculously tiny), or if you walk to the beefeater there is a walkway to the first floor reception. Unfortunately the lift was out of order no way my husband could walk the trip to the walkway so we struggled up the stairs. The receptionist made a joke of us struggling , didmoveour room from the second up to the first up so we didn’t have many stairs more to climb. I was struggling with bags as it was so I thought she was insensitive and rude. We were going to have a meal and breakfast at the beefeater but cancelled our plans as couldn’t go up and down the stairs due to husbands disability. I did manage to pop to the Tesco opposite for some stuff which actually is handy if you forget anything.We have stayed at many Premier inn and sadly this is the worst. I would now in hindsight make better checks before arriving to make sure lifts or disabled access is acceptable. I may now look at other chains after this but mainly I wanted to highlight our problems for anyone with disabilities so you don’t get stuck.

Hotel description What's your favourite kind of getaway? City break, country retreat or coastal holiday? You can get all three at Premier Inn Hotel Newton Abbot. We're close to some key business destinations too, so whether it's work or play you'll have a great stay. Spend the morning exploring the beautiful unspoilt Dartmoor National Park, then hotfoot it back to Torquay for a refreshing cream tea. If you're here in the early summer, see some great bands at our Lemon Festival, then enjoy the fruits of our labours at our onsite Beefeater Grill, with a comfy bed awaiting you.
