Lowestoft hotel

For a Premier Inn I was slightly disappointed. Friendly receptionist on arrival. Asked about breakfast which was pre booked and if we wanted a table booking for dinner. Room was clean on entering but could do with a fresh coat of paint in areas. Lighting - needs a light above the mirror when using hairdryer as lighting was fairly dim. Could do with plug socket near bed for medical machine. Luckily we brought an extension lead as only sockets available were by the desk. Room was very hot but a fan was provided. Room is supposed to be blacked out so you have a good nights sleep. However, the light from under the door was very distracting and the curtains did let light through. Breakfast was in the adjoining Beefeater. First morning, waited over 30 minutes for the breakfast to be served and on arrival the breakfast was warm not piping hot. Coffee machine - latte not hot. No butter for the toast only margarine. Second morning, I had to send my food back as it was cold. Would visit again but not have breakfast.

We always stay over at this Premier Inn, lovely, friendly staff, clean rooms, with food and drink close by. This is our overnight stay and only a short distance from where we collect a hire boat for the week.

Stayed for one night on a quick end-of summer road-trip to the coast. The hotel is located on the outskirts of the town, very easy to from the road but a short drive (or longer walk) to the centre of the town and coast. Plenty of parking around the hotel. Check in was quick and friendly, and the room was a good size. You can clearly tell this is one of Premier Inn’s older properties from the décor, however the room was clean and comfortable. A good comfortable bed along with the quite location gave a good night’s sleep. Only one power socket by the bed, and Wi-Fi wasn’t great, but I had some phone signal in the room, so this was not a major problem. No air-con in the room but a fan was provided (and nether needed this September!). Overall an enjoyable stay.

Accommodation in need of a reverb or at least good clean. The bar area was extremely dirty with furniture fit for the dump, because of this we decided Not to use the Foxburrow Beefeater restaurant & walked to the Brewers Fayre, Which was very busy but Great food good atmosphere & very clean.

The general impression was one of 'grotty' and less than clean. The entire place was poorly lit; it smelled stuffy, stagnant and damp. The room (145) had no active ventilation. The extractor was not operational in the bathroom. There was a constant background smell of sewage, inadequate sanitation and damp. There were visible signs of black mould, which had clearly been painted over a number of times. Fittings in the bathroom were rusty/water-damaged, clearly needed replacing and better maintenance employed. Cobwebs in the sleeping area, very few TV channels. Overall, grubby and unwelcoming. The duvet was marked and had no cover on it. It was just stuffed in a shelf if required. I can ony guess how many people had used it without a cover. How the staff can stay so pleasant in such a shoddy place its a credit to them.
