"FOOD POISONED"

I was here on the 20TH JULY AND WAS FOOD POISONED as I was served OLD FROZEN FISH that had stayed in their freezer for months (MANAGER COOKED UP MY MEAL -SHAWN LORD) I complained but staff were extremely rude, unhelpful and from other branches and hadnt a clue who was in or where things were. I also sent an email online and nobody got back to me about my complaint. ABSOLUTE DISGRACE. NEVER HAPPENED IN MY LIFE (USUALLY STAY IN MARRIOT,TRAVELODGE,JURYS INN) Never again. The worst experience ever.

"Lovely hotel, excellent staff"

The hotel was lovely and the staff friendly and efficient. The food was excellent. The rooms were clean, air conditioned and comfortable. The bed was not very comfortable and the parking was a pain as we had to move the car 3 times in 2 days! Bring plenty of change.

"Apauling"

Stayed overnight before our trip to France today. There were customers of both The Drove and Premier Inn who had less than no consideration for any guests needing to sleep before a long distance of travel the following day. They were outside making far too much noise. I visited reception at 11.30pm who said they would speak to the guests, nothing changed for over an hour. This is unacceptable and I spoke to reception again this morning and The Drove who only apologise. The statement inside the venue states quiet time between 10.00pm-7.00am this was not adhered to in any way. The room did not supply a fan in the room whish was too hot and windows only opened a small amount but couldn't shut to reduce noise as we might have melted. This stay was the most unenjoyable experience ever

"What has happened to Premier Inn?"

Location is good although the hotel does not have it’s own car park. I made a booking for 4 rooms expecting I would receive the Premier Inn guarantee of comfort and service at a reasonable price. On arrival there was a significant queue for check in (true the check in has been changed to 4pm so understandably that is when most guests arrive). The single member of staff checking in was extremely slow and didn’t really seem to know what she was doing, she was struggling to keep her composure as the queue got longer. It took a good half an hour to check in. Despite making a booking over a year ago for four rooms I had been allocated a room of a different floor; fortunately my sister had a separate booking and was able to swap with me! We had all booked ‘meal deals’ - the service in the restaurant was extremely poor with only one member of staff waiting on table. We waited over an hour for our food to be served and it was at best edible! We complained to the waitress who asked if we would like to speak to the manager. The manager came over and we were very surprised to see it was the same member of staff who had been struggling with ‘check in’ The room was up to usual Premier Inn standard although very mean with the supply of tea and coffee. Breakfast service was slightly better, it seemed there were more staff in the kitchen. The manageress who was still on duty was very attentive, I did sympathise with her attempts to do what she could but told her I would be complaining to Premier Inn who seem to have shifted their model to skeleton staff with little or no training. The only part of the experience that was what I expected from Premier Inn was the comfort and quality of the bedroom.

"Great Location, few minor issues"

Very well situated in the centre of Lewes, near to rail station and main areas of interest. Was quite annoyed that having booked/paid a couple of months previously with a 2pm check-in: a day before we were due to arrive, I had an email saying all Premiers Inns were now moving to 4pm check-in for the summer, due to Covid etc etc. As not in a car, but arriving by train and on foot, it makes such a difference to be able to drop off bags in room, have a cuppa and freshen-up before going exploring/meeting up unencumbered and feeling relaxed. I can see it causes more work having to do extra cleaning etc, but only letting folk know with a day's notice is not good! I hope that the check-in time returns to 2pm soon!! Incidentally., Travelodge are still managing to have their usual normal 3pm check-ins. The room itself was comfy and clean, shower good etc, so no issues there. I do not like non-openable windows as whatever is said re Air-con, it is not fresh air and, as an outdoor person, I personally hate a sealed-up room. We booked full cooked breakfasts. We can understand that during Covid having loads of folk leaning over a big buffet table is a no-no. However, the breakfast experience was very poor. I was asked to book a table for breakfast, hard to do when 3 separate people on the booking! Went for 9am to try to suit us all. However I woke early and felt very hungry, so went down to breakfast quarter of an hour earlier, which did not go down well with the bloke (in charge?) at the entrance. There were several spare tables and not a lot of folk dining. I had to stand and wait quite a while while it was "checked" if I could sit at a table(!) then a lot of checking whether we had booked, initially been told I hadn't (which I certainly had - and had been also checked on Reception when we had arrived). I felt I was made to feel I was "being awkward" but I actually felt quite faint and in need of sitting down and having some food. I ordered and the food eventually came, but extremely small portions - about a teaspoon full of cold baked beans (not expensive..), half a cold tomato and a few scraps of cold mushrooms, and just one sachet of salt and sauce etc each. The toast had butter pats placed on top of them , and they had obviously been left somewhere a fair while as they were completely liquified, running out of the packaging and soaked into the top piece of toast and spoilt it (I didn't want butter anyway). There was no need to do this. The staff did their best and the lady serving us was very nice and pleasant (and over stretched), but we were not happy really with all the penny-pinching as we'd paid quite a big sum for "unlimited" breakfasts. No one ever asked if we wanted any top-ups!!!! I felt too anxious to ask for some more, after the not very welcoming by the chap at the breakfast "book in" desk. Would maybe stay again, if the price was right, but not bother with the expensive breakfast.

Hotel description Premier Inn Lewes Town Centre is in the middle of the tranquil town of Lewes, East Sussex. Surrounded by rolling countryside and white chalk cliffs, it's a picturesque hiking pit-stop. While you're in town, head to nearby Firle Beacon for a bird's eye view of the South Downs, explore the ruins of 1000 year old Lewes Castle or sample traditional cask ale at the historic Harvey's Brewery. Plus, if you visit around bonfire night, you're in for a treat - Lewes locals celebrate in style, and it's the biggest 5th November event in the world. When it's time for a bite to eat, take your pick from the delicious menu at our in-house Thyme restaurant and then drift off for a great night's sleep in your stylish bedroom with toasty duvet and ultra-comfy kingsize Hypnos bed.
