"Weekend away"

The staff at the premier inn we stayed at could not have been more helpful especially the young woman on reception when we booked in on Sat 5th September 12.30. She went above and beyond to help us. The hotel is a bit dated but the staff more than made up for that.

"Abusive night receptionist"

Stayed for a wedding, the night shift receptionist on Friday and Saturday (the same person) was incredibly rude and gossiped to other guests about me and my sister who were staying at the hotel. After making a complaint about this man for being gossip, I stupidly apogees to him the next day. Shouldn't have done this as it earned me this emotionally abusive bully to follow me around the hotel and outside for a cigarette just to torment me. Daytime receptionist was absolutely lovely, shame to have the experience ruined by on person. When I confronted him and said he cannot treat is guests the way he did, he replied saying 'you are not my guest' and that the he owned the hotel saying it was 'his'... hardly likely! Not the type of person I'd ever have working for me! Just awful.

"Hotel Stay"

The hotel was very quiet apart from the odd door slamming. Friendly receptionist. Some of the room hadn't been cleaned as well as I would have expected and the bed was well past its prime- tatty and becoming thread bare. The breakfast box was nothing special and definitely not worth the price.

"perfect"

Can't fault the service, the price or the venue. The rooms are always clean and the lovely lady on reception was a pleasure to talk to. Ideal location for a night out in freeport as its only a 10 minute walk there and a 25 minute stumble back. It was great.

Hotel description Bag some bargains at the Premier Inn Hotel Braintree Freeport Village - peacefully situated just over half a mile from Freeport Designer Village. We're the same distance from the Freeport Train Station with fast links to Stansted Airport and Greater London. Business guests are also well placed here. Retail might be less on your mind though if you're on the guest list at wedding venues The Fennes, Gosfield Hall and Leez Priory. Or if you fancy history at Hedingham Castle or some outdoor fun at Great Notley Country Park. Whatever brings you to Braintree, enjoy all the comforts you'd expect including an onsite restaurant, a spacious room and a comfy bed.
