Banbury (M40, J11) hotel

This was our first of three stops on this trip. We were booked in for 2 nights. Price was good and Banbury area was somewhere we had not explored previously. We had an accessible room- this was on the 2nd floor but was fairly near the lifts. Room was a good size, the bed was large and comfy, and the bathroom was fine. Just the usual niggle- the shower head was at its higest point - a struggle to get down. If I was wheelchair bound I would have needed help (Any hotel reading this- in accessible rooms please leave the shower head at its lowest it is easier for tall people to raise than short to lower!) It looked like I had drowned the wetroom but it did dry out quickly so that is a win. We needed extra towels- provided in a flash when requested. Breakfast was the normal all you want. A full breakfast for me, and continental for mum and... the toaster actually toasted the bread in one pass!!! We did eat there one evening and it was.. ok.. nothing special and of course my first choice was unavailable so ended up having the shatring starter as a main! The other evening we got a Greggs too good to go bag from the garage just down the road (a rather well stocked mini Asda) That did us just fine. RIght outside the Premier Inn is a Hotel Chocolate with a Costa next to it. A short drive away is a small retail park (the roundabout is really confusing- you will be in the wrong lane lol) A good stay and yes we would visit again if in the area.

Welcome was OK easy check in. Room as expected not brilliant, it was a bit tired, but not bad. Very reasonably priced. It was nice and quiet had a good sleep, bed large and comfy. Bathroom showed its age, but perfectly adequate. Food was good, they have a restaurant on the premises, not a pub next door. Overall I would stay again

This was my first visit to a premier Inn, our room was a good size ( plus room) and spotless. I wasn't expecting too much from the food tbh. However how wrong I was, the food was absolutely excellent. I had linguine with, tomatoes, garlic and chilli, a side of grilled chicken. The chicken was tender, moist and delicious. The service, was excellent, our waitress ? Anna was pleasant and attentive. All round an excellent stay.

We had previously stayed here and it was a good typical premier inn experience, not so this time. The self check in kiosks were not working so there was quite a queue with only one member of staff checking people in. We arrived after a long day due to flight delays and heavy traffic. We were tired and hungry. Upon checking in I asked if we could eat ASAP. The chap dealing with dining said the earliest they could fit us in was 8.15pm. As it was 6pm at that time we explained we were hoping to eat early as we’d had a long day, the restaurant was only a quarter full at that time. They eventually agreed and the food was very good. Breakfast was ok, maybe not as good as other premier inns. Our room on the first floor was dated, the bathroom needed refitting, peeling and dirty paintwork, the towels were old and tatty. The bed was not comfortable at all which was unusual as premier inn beds are usually nice. I do think that perhaps they are spending all the money on premier plus rooms and the standard rooms are just left. All in all we were disappointed and would not choose to book here again.

We stayed at the premier Inn for a wedding. Staff Molly Paul junior Really looked after us we're very accommodating.would come back
