"Business trip"

It is what it is. Lovely staff in the hotel itself nice clean tidy room. Enough car parking outside and the hotel is very nice easy to find. About 1.5 miles outside the town centre. I think about £8 in a taxi or a 45 minute walk.

"Excellent stay"

I stayed here for 2 nights between Christmas and new year 2019 with my husband and 2 young children. It’s a clean and comfortable hotel based on the edge of the town so great for access to the A12. But what made it so good was the service. From the ladies who greeted us on the evening of 28th Dec - to the lady who checked us out on the morning of the 30th, nothing was too much trouble. They took the time to make a fuss of the children, keeping my fresh milk cold overnight so my little one had some in the morning, and even remembering my little ones names so they were personally greeted in the mornings. This service is something you would expect from the bigger, and more expensive chains but don’t often get. Thank you to all of the staff during our stay, you were fantastic.

"Too cold"

Visited premiers in before but I don't think I will In the near future. Everything all but one was good as usual. Our room was cold when we arrived. I am a cold being so was really looking forward to a warm room during my break. You are suppose to be able to control the temp yourself but dont believe it.i do believe the rooms are all fixed to a certain temp because even when you turn it up it doesn't come on. From about 8oclock in evening you have had your lot. Pointless tell staff because it is out of their control and they are not to blame. They do a great job and can not fault them. All the readers have to do is Google it and all is there! My break was ruined as I have many ailments including diabetes which makes my life miserable being cold.

"Staff are fantastic"

The staff at this hotel are fantastic, considerate, helpful, friendly and couldn’t do enough to make your stay enjoyable out of all the hotels ever stayed in this team here by far were the best. Nothing was too much trouble. The rooms were very spacious and the team did all they can to ensure we and our family had the best stay. The Christmas decorations were also very well designed in reception, and the Amazon lockers in reception also came in handy.

"Good Value ; Great Stay"

We stayed here for two nights including Christmas Eve. Good clean rooms. Friendly helpful staff. Very convenient location for the city and A12. Adjacent restaurant is very convenient and serves reasonable food. But if you need it there are other choices not very far. A lot better managed than Premier Inn Near Moorefields Hospital in London. Will stay again.
