"Let us open the windows!!!"

In the area for a few days and this hotel fitted in with our plans, almost. Premier Inn changed the check-in time from 2pm to 4pm way after we had booked. No email to say this had happened, only found out by chance on their website, naughty. Due to the change we arrived a few hours early, parked up and checked with the very helpful lady on reception about the parking scheme. I was given a voucher, sorted out my parking (£3 per night for guests) There were plenty of spaces available but be aware that anybody can use the car park so it could get busy. After a stroll and some food another pleasant member of staff checked us in at around 3:30, very much appriciated as we were getting somewhat fatigued after a long journey. The room was up to the usual PI standard, clean and tidy, with a nice sea view. Unfortunately, despite being at the great British seaside the windows were sealed, no fresh air only the throat drying aircon. Basic wifi was down to the usual patchy standards, dropping out regularly. I was not going to pay for the enhanced wifi if they cannot get the basic one working. We ate in the attached restaurant 3 times during out stay. Staff were delightful and very honest about the lack of some items from the menu. The food was good pub grub, hot and tasty. All in all a decent stay. All the staff we met were cheerful and helpful, and service throughout of a good standard. Only a 3 star review due to sealed windows and poor wifi.

"Amazing seaview rooms, and a comfortable nights sleep"

Gotta love premier inn for aguaranteed comfort ,and a excellent breakfast. This hotel comes with the added bonus of staff with Vim and personality, and a sense of humor. Sea view rooms that are amazing, though only through a window.or balcony door as everything is locked. I guess for safety purposes. We can't wait to get back.

"Lovely premier"

When entering everything is so lovely and clean. Staff are all so friendly. Lady who checked us in was brilliant. Check in couldn’t have been quicker. Room was lovely and clean and well stocked. My only gripe would be we had to ask for more tea bags as wasn’t restocked but that wasn’t a hardship.

"Don't Ask For A Sea View!"

I called the hotel a couple of days prior to our visit to politely request, if at all possible, to have a sea view family room as I'd read reviews saying it's a lovely one and we were staying for a few days. The lady sounded a bit off but did say she'd put the request on the system for which I thanked her. Upon arrival ours was the only room not ready on time but the receptionist did say she would normally offer a different room, (that was ready), but knew we had "specifically requested this particular room" and she "knew we were not to be moved under any circumstances". Now call me optimistic but I thought this was great news and we obviously had been looked after. When we finally got booked in I found we not only hadn't got a sea view but a side room facing the hotels own wall but had been downgraded from a family to a double with a pop up bed squeezed in. It was 4.20pm but no natural light made it's way into the cramped dark room. I went straight back to the front desk and complained but was told it WAS a family room as it had 3 beds in it!!! I asked to be moved but was told again that the note on the system said I had requested that EXACT room and was not to be moved from it. I voiced how unhappy I was and that I must have somehow upset the lady on the phone, (I hadn't), or she was having a bad day but either way wanted to move rooms. After discussing if moving me to a room with 2 extra beds was possible with her colleague as its not normally done, she agreed to do so. The room we then got was double the size with a table and chairs that wouldn't have fitted in the original sized room and a lovely view, (this wasn't an upgrade but simply the family room I had actually paid for!). This situation is either an inside joke the staff play on anyone requesting a sea view or the different shifts trying to get their opposite number moaned at, I'm guessing the former. The staff know which are standard and which are family rooms. Equally they know which have a rubbish or sea view so all the games really got my back up and spoilt the experience even if we ended up in a nice room. No doubt any response will plead a lack of knowledge about these things but my account above obviously proves otherwise and they should be held accountable. Apart from that our duvet had a dark brown stain that could have been blood, faeces or chocolate I'm not sure and the toilet seat was only attached one side. I didn't complain due to my initial experience and the extra covid risks. It could and more importantly should have been a great stay.
