"Standard hotel, but put in a noisy room"

I was given a room above the laundry room, near the staff rooms and next to the door everyone came in and out of. The room itself was fairly standard, though the bathroom was low in stock for toilet paper and soap. Also large dust web over the TV. Gave the impression this room wasn’t used often. My main issue was the proximity to the laundry and staff rooms. I really don’t think that particular bedroom (Room 101 A12 Hotel) should have been given to paying customers. The noise from the laundry machines was a very unwelcome disturbance. I discussed it with staff and they were as accommodating as they could be, but it shouldn’t have been a factor in the first place. It was an unnecessary stress I really didn’t want to have to deal with

"Disgusting"

Hotel just acceptable the table table restaurant was an abomination , Disgusting food, Over priced and no service what so ever The hotel was cold, very basic and noisey and expensive but i could have lived with that, But the food my god it was the worst meal i have ever had in my life, literally would have had better straight out of the bin

We always stay in Premier Inns amazing value and large comfortable bed this one is no exception. Very convenient position the staff are great we were lucky to have a room with air con as we were in the middle of a heatwave! Eat one evening next door in the pub amazing value before 6pm £8.99 for 2 meals! Breakfast was very good as well as much as you want to eat.

"Excellent, clean facility and amazing staff"

Comfortable and clean hotel with easy access to major routes. Amazing welcoming staff. Dana assisted with the booking process and had a lovely room with air-conditioning. Jay was welcoming throughout the stay and prompted delivered our requests. Highly recommended hotel and will return. Breakfast service was busy and food were alright, reasonable especially since kids eat free with paying adults. Amazon locker on site for those last minute items. KFC next door and food can be ordered from a wide range of local services.

"Good priced overnighter"

Visiting mates at the Crown, and the Premier was in easy walking distance. Car parking was easy, check in straightforward and very friendly. Room up to the usual Premier standard. Didn't use any of the dining facilities this time. Price was very reasonable.
