"Practical but…."

Practical but the rooms and the decor looked really tired and grubby at times. My room especially needed some care. Appliances moved and not decorated. Peeling paint in the bathroom. Comfy though. Staff were amazing though

"Bit of a mess really"

Arrived at the room. Only the main room light worked. Non of the others. There was no coffee in the room. Mould down the side of the toilet on the silicone. When we came back, the toilet next to the reception was filthy. Thousands of sheets of toilet paper all over the floor everywhere. Pillows were like bags of cement, so hard. Use premier in allot for work. Probably the worst I've been in.

"Very good value"

The hotel was very clean and the staff were very cheerful and helpful. The stay was very good value. Might be a bit better if there was a chef in the evening to give a better choice of food. Food available was good though.

"Not a great experience, Premier Inns seem to be going downhill"

I stopped using Premier Inns for work trips 5 years ago, many are tired but I simply found that a small independent, such as a family run hotel, B&Bs or freehold pubs provide a much better service in general. Their customers experience matters, because it's their livelihood. My wife booked this overnight stay at a Premier Inn for a family event, and as it had been a few years I thought I'd give them another try. In hindsight, I should have cancelled and booked elsewhere. The two positives of my stay was that the staff smiled and the bed was comfy. A smile and comfy bed is nice, but good service and value for money are better. The Service The people I dealt with were polite and friendly and actioned things when I asked, most of the time. However the things I asked for, I shouldn't have had to. My wife and I had a single towel in our room for both of us. My parents had the same - these rooms were booked in advance for 2 people in each. The team knew how many were staying. In the evening bar service was slow, tables were dirty, sticky and empty bottles/glasses were left on tables. We went elsewhere to eat and after returning later that evening, saw that my wifes empty glass was still on the bar, where she'd left it 2 hours earlier. There were three people in the restaurant when we left and one when we returned, they did not appear to be busy at any time during our stay. At breakfast, after being shown to our table and told to help ourselves to tea and toast, there was no breakfast tea and a single slice of bread available. The breakfast bar was dirty, had spilled juice on it, open butter and jam containers, dirty cutlery and a single napkin. When asking for assistance I received it, which was fine, but I had to interrupt a staff nattering/giggling session at reception - they had walked past the dirty and empty breakfast bar when walking from the restaurant to reception. The Food (and service again) We paid for 'unlimited' breakfasts. Half the things on the menu were not available, some we were warned of in advance and others were simply missing from our plates when they arrived 40 minutes after ordering. 40 minutes for half a fry up was baffling enough, as we were the only people in the restaurant, but to make it worse one of our party received no breakfast at all. The waitress blamed a trainee chef (solidarity and all that!) which I still cannot fathom because the she wrote our orders down and then brought the plates over. There was no one else in the restaurant and she didn't notice one of our group didn't have a plate, until we pointed it out. (the Premier Inns policy was to enforce table 'service' due to Covid). What we did receive was of a poor quality and warm, but certainly not hot. The Rooms In stark contrast to the breakfast, the rooms were hot! Stifling inside yet I would describe the temperature outside as pleasant, just warm. They were grubby, with worrying brown marks on the bottom of the bath. The wooden frame surrounding the top of the bathroom door was falling apart in places, with a strip of wood missing and exposing small nails. It was generally a shabby place and an unpleasant stay. We're due to go back to Chelmsford at the end of October and I've opted for a room at a small independent pub instead.

"Wedding Overnight Stay"

We had a wedding at nearby Boreham House, so rather than driving home, after we opted to stay here overnight. It does what it says on the tin its cheap and cheerful and clean, the bed was comfy although the temperature in the room was a little high for my liking with no way to cool it down. Breakfast was adequate for where we were and the staff was polite and friendly. Not my usual choice for accommodation, however it did the job at a good price.

Hotel description If a loved one is getting married at a venue nearby, or you'd just love to explore this corner of the South East, Premier Inn Hotel Chelmsford Springfield is the ideal spot. There are plenty of stunning wedding venues like Boreham House and Leez Priory nearby, and we're very well connected with good transport links too. Have an engagement with first class cricket at Essex County Cricket Ground. Or ring the changes with a fantastic weekend at the nearby V Festival. Say 'I do' to some great shopping and eating out, then come back to the hotel for a meal in our restaurant, with a lovely marriage of traditional and contemporary food, and finally a night in a comfy bed.
