"Boiling hot , nasty restaurant"
Boiling hot rooms , it’s hot outside and it’s like being in a sauna Getting ready for a wedding was uncomfortable because I was sweating so much Room itself is lovely and big - but where was the aircon ? Sockets are half way up the wall I heard they used to be desks there so your devices left hanging in the air - I just moved the table to it No hotel lobby so nowhere to meet other guests and socialise except for the pub style tables outside the restaurant which you can’t do in the winter My key card stopped working 9 times over 2 days it was extremely irritating constantly going to reception to sort it out as the hotel corridors are long There is no lift either Rain shower was ok but the removable shower head had zero power and water was hot and cold Avoid the beefeater restaurant - absolutely vile Ants up the walls , then I had severe diarrhoea after breakfast. Breakfast was disgusting- horrible , staff appeared fed up and indifferent
"Nice hotel - but no lift!"
We stayed in one of the premier plus rooms which was superb. Very comfortable bed, amazing shower and efficient aircon. Coffee machine and little bar of chocolate was a nice touch, along with nice cold water in the fridge. I have marked it down 1 point as all of the premier plus rooms are on the 1st floor with no lift- does premier inn not consider people with mobility issues may want a premier room ?
"Bedrooms are clean, Beefeater needs a refurb and Room 5 needs some works on the drains"
If you are staying in room five, you may want to take a peg for the smell from the drains in the bathroom. The newly refurbished rooms are really let down by this and the removal of the desk just makes the media wall look ridiculous with plug sockets in the middle of nowhere like they've been abandoned. The Beefeater next door is in need of a refurb and new furniture that's not beginning to fall apart. The change when you walk through from the hotel to the Beefeater is noticeable as if it's been forgotten about. Oh, and as of the end of May 2025, Whitbread plc are still unable to find any orange juice in the whole world, so please be careful if you are on medication which requires you to avoid grapefruit juice as this is part of their 'tropical mix'
"Nice room, terrible food service"
Room was nice as usual. Food service ,terrible. Was shown to table, waited 30 minutes and still no service so I called over a waitress. If I did not call her over I don't know how much longer we would have waited. No excuse about being busy as it was half empty. I ordered our drinks and food, when the drinks arrived my wife wine glass looked like it had not been washed up for a week so I had to call over the waitress again! Starters came out rock hard! Mains come out while empty plates and glasses still on the table so did not have much room to put them. Overall not impressed, we always stay at a Premier Inn and this was the worst one yet. If I would have known it was going to be like this I would have booked the Hilton. Also had to pay for overnight parking!
"New Rooms"
Lovely newly refurbished hotel , very friendly staff especially pammy who had wonderful customer service skills. room didn't have air-con as expected but there wasn't a fan in the room. the new rooms feel nice but feel very empty . would stay again as convenient.
