"Not the usual Premier comfort"

Can’t grumble at the price we paid for our room but we think this was reflected in the quality of the double bed. It was hard and really sagged in the middle. We have stayed at many Premier Inns over the years and have always looked forward to a good nights sleep on one of their comfy beds. This visit was unfortunately the worse. We were only given 1 pillow each which was easily remedied by a trip to the reception area. Several hours later an extra pillow each was brought up. Due to a long day spent visiting Bourton -on-the-water and Stow-on-the-wold we genuinely were too shattered to ask to move. We would have if it was for 2 nights. The room and bathroom were clean and very warm. No extra heating needed at all. The WiFi is temperamental which did cause some frustration so we just watched TV. The staff are friendly and the parking provisions more than adequate. We would return but would definitely check the bed first

"A thorough review!"

I’ve stayed here a lot over the last few months as some work has needed doing on my house, and it gives me some respite from the stress. I always feel at home, welcome and very comfortable. All of the staff are lovely. Clare is super helpful and keeps the place in line. Dean is a jack of all trades and always makes time for me. Lyna is a star and always cheers me up. Aaron is so conscientious. Laura is always so friendly. Maz, Astra, Teresa, Luke, Amy, Lydia, Jake.... they’re all great. WiFi is usually great, rooms are clean, beds comfortable, vending machine essential, breakfast efficient, takeaway menu for evening meals is very convenient, location great for McDonald’s and a few other takeaways and The Leys park is nearby for a stroll. COVID is taken very seriously and all precautions are taken. I’d definitely recommend.

"Weekend away"

Arrived promptly at check in around 2:30pm. I waited at the check inn desk which was unmanned. So I pressed the call button for a member of staff. A lady came out of the office right next to the check in desk after five minutes she was wearing a pair of blue jeans on and a cream T-shirt, bit unprofessional for a well known hotel chain. I’ve been to multiple premier inns on business, and no employees have ever worn anything similar, even management were wearing premier inn uniform at hotels I’ve been too previously. Went up to our room, the room seemed clean, only downfalls were the towels were damp and the coffee cups had stains on them which was quite worrying considering the whole covid situation going on. The view from the hotel room was nice facing onto a field, considering we were in a built up area it was nice to see a bit of greenery. We went out for a meal that night and came back ready to get back into bed seeing as we had been driving all day. OMG. I’m not sure wether the bed was broken or they just never change there mattress but literally it was so uncomfortable, I didn’t get much sleep and ended up sleeping on the lounge chair, which wasn’t much better unfortunately. And to top it off the room above us had kids running around jumping on and off beds at 5am. I literally thought to myself would you not put kids below adults for that reason, actually drove me mad. After one sleepless night I thought about changing rooms, however when I went back down to the desk To ask to change rooms there was not anyone on it again. I rung the bell and got no response after five minutes. So decided to go back up to my room.The morning after we went out shopping, came down at 8:30 and there was only one person eating breakfast and she didn’t look very impressed so I’m glad I didn’t bother buying the food package. I ended up going to local greenekings for evening meals as it was better value for money. Outside the hotel there is a McDonald’s and a Lidl which is perfect for a movie night snack or if you are craving a coffee which isn’t in a sachet! The main highlights of this hotel to be honest. Overall it wasn’t a terrible stay however as someone who works within A Competing hospitality chain, I would expect better quality As there prices were higher than the company I work for and yet you get a lot better quality rooms and service. A note to the management, you should probably have people on the desk at all times, Especially with the whole covid 19 rules as non residents should not be aloud to enter the hotel rooms as that’s just risking rates going up. I wasn’t asked to do the track and trace either, I just did it because I was waiting to check in so I thought I might aswell. I was half tempted to ask for my money back when I left however no one was on the desk and even if I asked I think they wouldn’t of cared anyways so. Don’t think I will come back to this particular premier inn again.

"Phone blackspot"

Tidy and clean standard premier inn but sort out the WIFI. Phone signal here is none existent and to make matters worse the wifi didn’t work. Neither the free or premier. Impossible to do any work. Floors are really thin and had to complain as room above was river dancing for hours.

"Great stay"

We stayed here for two nights Friday to Sunday. Couldn’t fault the room very clean and well provided. Information very clear on COVID guidelines and restrictions. Excellent location for walking in to town only 15 minutes. Aldi, McDonalds and Tesco Express next door. We didn’t eat in the restaurant as we chose to go in to town as plenty of venues to choose from. Have to mention the young guy who checked us in. He was amazing always smiling clearly wearing lots of hats but was extremely helpful and accommodating when we needed assistance. Didn’t get his name unfortunately but a real credit to your workforce.
