Kettering hotel

Great stay, food was lush, staff were amazing! I stayed for a week and the staff couldn’t do enough for me. Meal deal £26:99 rooms amazing, most comfiest beds. Will definitely be back due to the staff.

This was a one night stay after a funeral, to save driving home in the rush hour. Tried Trivargo for the first time, but it just diverted me to the hotels own website. Paid £100 for one room. Check in very good, and appreciated the offer of a sheet because of the warm weather. Room as expected. Free wi-fi very poor. TV sound quality poor (make recognisable by the remote, but no makers name on set or remote). Only one large towel between two. No air on, which we knew at booking, but they did provide a fan as well as the sheet. No bottle of water.

So. Stayed on business. Business deal with food plus breakfast. Firstly front desk staff. Great. The hotel. It is situated 3 metres from the A14. Thundering traffic. Constant. I went in June. In a heatwave. My room at midnight was 26.5 degrees. I'd cool it down but your windows are locked shut and the fan was broke. Despite the business rate 'parking is not guaranteed'. That's reassuring on the side of a motorway. You need to book that on arrival. WiFi. That's a chargeable extra.. There is 'free' WiFi. All I'll say is 'connected without Internet' was the feature of my stay.. They outsource that so ring Virgin media at your cost etc.... So the business deal comes with a meal at the pub 'Brewers fayre' which is located between the reception and 2 and 3 other parts of your hotel adjacent to the A14. Again the one member of staff was truly amazing.. Genuinely. He was irked as only 1 of the 3 tills worked. Also he was the only guy at the time and I was in a queue of 8. Sounded like some quiz night. Anyway.. The meal deal. Allows for a drink, starter and main.. It was absolutely awful. Not one part of the meal felt anything other than reheated microwaved gruel. When the plate is scorching and your hideous side coleslaw salad is steaming then....

Great hotel excellent staff members on the reception today yara and Esther where amazing would happily stay here again

What can I say that hasn't already been said about Premier Inn? Spacious rooms with comfy beds....Although NOT as comfy as they used to be for some reason?! Like any chain,some are a little better than others,a little fresher,or a little more modern....This one is pretty much in the middle,not the most modern,but definitely not the 'tired' end of the scale. Tea/coffee making facilities✔️ Shower/bath combo✔️ 1 plug socket by the bed,but a few on the side by the kettle Room 1 is pretty much directly behind the reception area,so there was quite a bit of door opening/closing action going on,and this was around 1am,so be aware of that when booking,but all things said and done,a decent room. I travel quite a bit for my work,so a lot of the time I'm literally just checking in around midnight, and leaving again in the morning,so didn't really have chance to get a feel for the room,if I was staying in there all day,but great for what I needed. Keep being you Premier Inn,and please don't ever change.
