Paignton South (Brixham Road) hotel

We booked this hotel as we were visiting Paignton sea front for the day. It offered the balance of lower prices than the sea front with better (free) parking. Unfortunately, when walking towards reception, two staff members from the Beefeater and Premier Inn were confronting three local youths who were causing trouble. Their language and attitude were very intimidating causing upset to our children. They refused to leave the area and were abusive to another couple trying to check in. One of them entered reception and started throwing items at the staff. This was not the first occurrence according to a staff member. I then had concern for my car as they were hanging around in the car park. Once checked in (with the apologies of the receptionist), we went to our room which was very spacious compared to other family rooms we have stayed in. It was clean and tidy. Unfortunately the air conditioning wasn't working as expected, leading to a very uncomfortable night, even in October (windows don't open). We ate at the Beefeater restaurant for dinner and breakfast, which we couldn't fault. Great service, good food and drinks and they went the extra mile when they realised it was our daughter's birthday. Sadly we won't return. We will look for something out of town in a more isolated location. If you read the reviews of the Torquay Premier Inn you will also find reference to anti-social behaviour.

Another great Premier Inn and Beefeater Restaurant location on Brixham Road Paignton Devon. Spacious car park, so parking wasn't a hassle on arrival. Great check-in experience with friendly helpful staff, the hotel has 2 lifts giving access to all floors. We were located on the first floor with the room overlooking the main road outside the hotel. Although the road was busy there was no traffic noise to be heard, the window was a fixed window, but a very good air-conditioning was providing adequate air circulation. The ensuite had a large shower cubicle (with enough room to ahem! share a shower), and the room was very clean with all the room facilities functioning. We chose a meal deal package for an evening meal and breakfast at the next door Beefeater Restaurant, well worth the investment. We chose to pay the extra and my wife and I ordered the Fillet Steak with the usual artist of fries etc, oh boy! The meal was exceptionally good, fillet steak was cooked to perfection. At this point I must point out the the Restaurant staff were very friendly and accommodating with a very special shout out to our server/waitress ERIN :-) who went above and beyond, nothing was to much for this wonderful young lady a credit to Beefeater. So, go for the meal deal you won't regret it. Breakfast the following morning was also a great experience too, although and additional hot drinks making machine wouldn't go amiss as a small queue did cause minor disruption. Hot food was good, along with a good selection of cereals, yoghurts, fresh fruit etc, again well worth the money, a special mention here for the Blueberry Muffins, so delicious, don't tell anyone but we snuck some out for snacking on later in the day..... shhhh don't tell anyone. Anyway, overall experience at this particular hotel and eatery was very positive, and we will be having another single night stopoverv again to continue our exploration of the local area and stately homes. Would recommend.

We return to Premier Inn at White Rock as our first choice for the base for our break as it is ideally located for our stay with regular buses near to the hotel. Rooms are quiet and a free car park for guests. The rooms are spacious and quiet. Good value for money especially including the meal deal. Sufficient choice in the restuarant for evening meals and ample breakfasts. Service very good.

Have stayed here before and it was pretty good. This time it was not as good. There was a hole in the carpet of the room, could have dusted a bit better. the bed sheet was clean, but had small black marks on it like mould. The evening meal (Mixed Grill) asked for steak to be well done but not burnt, was pink in the middle. Hostess asked how the meal was, I told her, which she offered to get it changed, I said no thanks, she came back with she didn't cook it! Then the second fried egg was snotty, so I didn't eat much more

Lovely stay. Quiet room on the 3rd floor. Bathroom was neat and tidy with a bath. Only small issue was toilet took quite a hard press on the button to flush properly. Room itself was clean and tidy. The bed as ever in Premier Inn was glorious. King size bed and was so comfortable. Would recommend.
