Evesham hotel

Unfortunately the hotel is suffering with fatigue. The serious lack of basic internet connectivity and USB / C charging points is worrying, as these should be quite easily rectified. They do post a warning on their booking site about the lack of services, so I hope the Group are working on an upgrade, as most of their sites are in far better condition.

Room was more tired than I was after no sleep. The whole hotel is so in need of an upgrade and refurbishment. The staff were all good and no complaint there. And the Premier Inn mattress as always was great. But the hotel is just grim. OK, the weather has been hot, but sort of expected. At £140 a night, you expect something much better.

The room was a bit tired but adequate and the room rate was reasonable. The beefeater grill next door did a good breakfast. The lady who was running the dining room this morning 1st July deserved a medal. She was booking in, clearing and relaying tables, mending* the coffee machine all on her own. A real star.

My recent stay was just perfect. I was greeted with a friendly smile by the receptionist Louise, who throughout my stay was more than accommodating to my needs. Bed was ever so comfy and I was given a lovely quiet room at the back. Restaurant gave a little to desire, but I didn’t allow this to dampen my mood as Louise and the team were just fantastic. I shall definitely be returning.

I arrived on Sunday 22 June, I did manage to check in early, but there was no air conditioning, and I was advised that the big grill in the room was for 'heating only'. Though the instructions did say about 'cooling', though it wouldn't cool the room down. At 6.30pm the room temperature was 27.4C. A fan was provided, but initially all that did was put more heat into the room. The second night of the 23 June, the room had cooled to 25.4C, but still way to hot for sleeping. Being on the ground floor, room 46, the one window that did open, didn't open very much, so was no help in trying to cool the room. The formica on the dressing table was starting to peel off. Also the step out of the bath to the floor was over 2 feet, luckily I'm tall so I could manage it, but shorter people would struggle, especially as there were no rails to hold onto. This hotel needs a major refurbishment, and air conditioning fitting. Such a shame as it's in an excellent location, for me visiting family close by. But I will have to think again about going in hot weather.
