"Modern refurbished Premier Inn only slightly but few noisy contractors"

Stayed for one night during Covid lockdown for work. Chose a room on the top floor end of corridor as I heard that lower floor rooms suffer from noise from the floor above. Great Covid safe checkin and lots of shielding with guests being sensible and plenty of evidence of social distancing. Very popular with contractors whom from my experience are very sensible mid week as they are all there to stay for a night and have to leave for work early... Friday nights and weekends... that is a different story. Room was new Premier Inn style with king sized bed and large screen TV and clean and safe. But my stay was interrupted by noise at night... shouting in the corridor and in the carpark from some guests at night... its a big hotel so difficult to determine who was responsible. Take some earplugs with you... no reflection on the staff or hotel who were excellent.

"All good"

All very good and I'm picky. My daughter and I had a great time on our weekend break. Quick check in. Spotless room. Comfy bed. Lots of parking. Well cooked, fresh hot breakfast. Fresh chocolate croissants. Peaceful out of town location yet a pretty 20 minute stroll along the riverbank into town. Incredible value overall. A shout out to the super friendly, professional waitress who was there for both dinner and breakfast (Spanish I think - sorry I didn't get her name but she was faultless). The staff are keen to please so I would say anything you need just ask.

"Disappointing stay"

I'm a big fan of Premier Inn and have stayed in a lot of them over the years, ranging from golf weekends with the lads to a family getaway. This time was a room for a family of 4 - the usual good set up with two single beds, a double bed and still plenty of space in a nice clean room. The bathroom was nice and clean too, with plenty towels and storage space. Good location for the Aquadome, ice rink and Whin Park & Ness Islands. So far so good. But the surprise and disappointing thing here was the noise. For a new looking hotel if was quite noisy - we could hear every footstep from the room above. For us with young kids, we had them asleep reasonably early, but the room above was full of noise for a long time into the night. The restaurant was good but also a bit disappointing, compared to a recent stay at Dundee Central the service was slow and all seemed just a bit overwhelmed - perhaps it was busier than expected and they were short staffed. To round off the disappointment on our final night the fire alarm went off at 0400. It was a false alarm, but everyone had to evacuate and stand out in the cold. Staff offered no explanation or gesture of goodwill for the significant inconvenience caused to all - a free hot drink the following morning wouldn't have gone amiss! Getting to the hotel is a bit of a pest just now with roadworks galore outside, but that's not the hotel's fault and has no bearing on my rating. I'll not likely be back to this Premier Inn again, compared to others it was sadly disappointing.

"Review"

Check in was quick and easy- lots of sanitiser stations and information posters. Room was warm and clean- bed was super comfortable. Beefeater restaurant next door excellent service and good food. Loses a ⭐️ because of fire alarm going off at 4am

"edge of town"

Site says a few minutes walk from town, it's a 5 min drive or 30 min walk. The wi-fi is the poorest of the many Premierinn's I've stayed in. The room was smaller than normal and the bed was not the usual kingsize. Having stayed at dozens of Premier's this hashas been the most disappointing..

Hotel description Whether you're into monsters or munros, Premier Inn Hotel Inverness West puts you in the perfect spot. You're close to Nessie's world-famous home, the Caledonian Canal, incredible scenery and world-class tourist attractions. Overlooked by a pink castle, Inverness is a colourful place to visit at any time of year. Listen to the blues at Belladrum festival, visit the Urquhart Castle on the banks of Loch Ness and sail across the waters, or watch athletes toss the caber onto the green grass at the Highland Games. Come in the summer and the city is awash with colourful flowers too. Then come back to the hotel for tasty food at our Beefeater Grill restaurant and a lovely comfy bed.
