"Birthday treat"

Lovely clean hotel, the staff were great, friendly and couldn’t have been more helpful. No trouble at all to move us to a disabled room when we realised my husband wouldn’t be able to get into the bath.

"Good but..."

They now charge £15 for a check in before 3...yet the confirmation email makes no mention of this and with 800 or so premier inn in the UK they must be naking a mint fir providing NOTHING!

"Decent hotel but quality of dinner at restaurant could be much better!"

Disappointed hotel wifi is down for the 3 nights we been here. Otherwise reasonable size spacious room, the shower tub could be better not the best and shower gel dispenser wasn't working. You get what you paid for.

"Like a hostel but with a dearer price tag really"

Went as a family, and upon arrival was told we hadn’t booked properly as hadn’t added our 18month old on the booking - online doesn’t have an option for a child of this age unless they require a cot which was not the case. The floorboards squeaked everywhere you travelled so you could constantly hear the other guests despite signs everywhere to “tiptoe” around. The room wasn’t cleaned very well - leftover false eyelashes from a previous guest, disgustingly stained chair in the room, bath needed showering down before you could use it. There was one tabletop fan to cool the entire room, which wasn’t very effective either. However, the bed was comfy, there was plenty of plug sockets, and you could see the car park from the room so you’re able to keep an eye on your car (also free parking which is always a bonus!). Of course it’s a budget hotel so you don’t expect much overall, but for what we received you’d expect to only pay £30 or so for the state of things.
