DECENT STAY
Pros:

Ideal location for the airport. Room OK, everything you could need. Easy check in. £7 to park overnight, don't forget to get QR code slip from reception and pay at parking kiosk just outside reception when leaving. Restaurant/pub OK with pleasant staff, decent food and drink choice but a little costly. Pint of Moretti over £7, wow.

Ideal for an overnight stop
Pros:

We needed just a nice room for an overnight stop ahead of a visit to Harrogate on the Saturday. We found this Premier Inn which is about a 30 min drive into the town, just up the road from Leeds/Bradford airport. Nice, clean and quiet. Just off the beaten track and with an attached restaurant so we had a nice dinner on the Friday and breakfast on the Saturday. Staff were very friendly and attentive. Everything you expect from a Premier Inn.

Very convenient for the airport but looking a bit tired now.
Pros:

Located very near to the airport. Plenty of parking although charges are quite high (private car park) £7 for the night was only £5 last year.
Rooms are comfortable but are looking a bit tired now. Plenty of tea and coffee. Beds are very comfortable. Bar doesn’t open until 5pm ☹️ but the food is very reasonable and good quality. Plenty of choice. Restaurant is also looking a bit tired and needs re vamping. Staff are very friendly and helpful.

Wonderful stay before our flight!
Pros:

We had a wonderful stay before our flight the next day. Every member of staff we met was friendly and courteous, and when I casually mentioned that it was our wedding anniversary we were surprised with a bottle of wine and a box of chocolates - they didn't have to go the extra mile, but it really made our evening special.

Our room was spacious, comfortable and had everything we needed. The hotel itself was quiet and relaxing and the restaurant looked lovely. We treated ourselves to a dessert each, which was delicious!

Breakfast was unlimited, but it was cooked to order - a big plus for us! No stale, lukewarm food like you can get from a buffet.

Overall it was a fantastic stay just 5 mins from the airport. Great little room, atmosphere was relaxing and the staff were exceptional. We wouldn't hesitate to come back.

P.S. its also right across from Murgatroyds, an incredible fish and chips restaurant - which is on another level!

Utterly Atrocious Shower - No Water Pressure
Pros:

The water pressure in the shower is unforgivably poor!

It's the same in pretty much ALL your hotels these days. Whereas once it was a point of pride for Premier Inn, boasting "powerful showers" on the hotel pages - now I could get a better shower stood outside in the rain.

On top of the fact that fewer and fewer have detachable shower-heads, it makes for a miserable experience.

I'm a big guy, and I can shower in 5-10 minutes at home, depending on how much of a rush I'm in, whereas at your hotels it now reguarly takes 20+ minutes, purely because the showers take so much longer to wash the soap off - and because I can't position the shower head to blast the water off directly, I have to hope it runs down me in the right way and washes it off.

I plugged in the plug in the bath here to see how much water I actually use your way, and the bath was nearly full to the overflow hole! What a complete and utter waste. However, as I stay here for work, I need to make sure I start the day clean and fresh with a proper shower.

It really is a bitterly disappointing experience, and one I end up ranting about whenever anyone asks me about my stay at Premier Inns.

Room was spacious.
Pros:

Room was dated but clean. Spacious room, bed was comfortable but do need to climb on as high off ground. Bathroom wasn't too bad. Shower head could do with a clean. A little bit of damp above the bath. But not too bad. Maybe have a look at it. Staff was friendly and helpful. Overall not a bad hotel.

Comfy clean room
Pros:

As you would expect from this brand. Comfy rooms well spaced out with everything you need for your stay. Well located for the airport and clean and warm. The check in was quick and friendly welcome. Seven pounds to park over night. The only negative was the shower water pressure was very poor as the shower head was far too large for the volume of water going through it.

Housekeeping need a check ✔️ list
Pros:

The skirting boards showed visible dirt accumulation, and cobwebs were present throughout the property, particularly noticeable in the stairwell. Since guests must use the stairs due to the absence of lifts, these high-traffic areas should be maintained to a higher standard. The housekeeping team would benefit from implementing a more thorough cleaning checklist.

Awful
Pros:

O my awful! Only nice thing about it was the staff. So check in was absolutely fine lovely lady. Then the walk up the stairs which were filthy hallway smelt awful. Room especially bedding smelt of smoke the next morning after a sleepless night due to the smell of dampness and the floor being wet near the window. Thought to have a good shower. The hair dryer once I got it to work crackled and several broken bits of plastic fell out then it stopped working went down to ask fir a replacement hairdryer was told there was not one so I had to use my own head a go to the disabled loe and dry my hair with The blower. Not a great experience at all. I have stayed at many other premiers but now if this is the standard I will be taking the app of my phone ps the dinner was just awful the only fully edible bit was the prawn cocktail

Pros:

Absolutely worst hotel experience I have ever had. I was put in room #1 which is right next to the door to the reception as well as the stairwell. The room has _zero_ sound insulation so every time someone exited or entered the reception area, the door would slam shut. The room vibrated with every slam. Additionally, you heard every stomp of feet on the staircase.

I checked out at 3:15am because it was a waste of time to stay any longer.

Great stay
Pros:

Booked two rooms prior to our flight. Was slightly worried after reading the negative reviews.
We were checked in quickly by a friendly receptionist who explained how to pay for the car park.
One of the rooms was on the ground floor and was a family room with a double bed, single and the cot was there as requested. Not a huge room but it was clean and adequate for what we needed. Our room was on the first floor. We had booked a double but I think it was also a family room as it has a single bed in an alcove area. . It was a large room. Again, clean and comfortable. Bathroom was clean and plenty of hot water.
No issues and would book again.

Not As Bad As Some Say
Pros:

We had read the reviews prior to arriving and were a little apprehensive about staying here. When we checked in you have to ring the bell which alerts the restaurant and someone attends to check you in, and we were met by a friendly lady who checked us in and advised us on paying for the carpark before exiting the next morning, you do receive a QR voucher which you scan at the machine for the discount. The carpark rate is £7 for 24 hours. The rooms are a little dated and could do with a revamp. We visited the restaurant bar for drinks and the staff were very friendly and helpful. The only downside is the bar shuts at 10 o'clock, there were people coming in for drinks after this and were unable to be served. Overall not as bad as some of the reviews make it out to be. We didn't dine here so cannot comment on the food.

Going Downhill Rapidly!
Pros:

I’ve been a customer of Premier Inn now for several decades, and I have to say my once favourite and wholly reliable chain of hotels is really starting to let itself down.

This particular branch is one that used to be a lot better, but seems to have been forgotten by Whitbread, or at least is next on the list for refurb I hope! Being next to Leeds/Bradford airport you’d have thought they’d want to keep this one up to scratch, but alas not.

First of all the cost, this branch is now rarely sub £130 per night now, mid week, which is very much on the high side when there are several others not far away that are a fair bit less. I wouldn’t mind so much if it was fresh and pristine, but it is definitely not that. It’s worn and tired, and in need of a refresh.

The bathroom in my room (35) is, well, filthy. The extractor vent has thick clumpy dust on it (I mean this just needs a hoover, not exactly hard!), the paint is peeling away from the walls due to damp, meaning the extractor is doing naff all anyway, the shower head itself is black from mould, and the grouting between the tiles is also black and filthy.

At above average pricing, it needs to be better, perhaps instead of spending all this money on expanding your hotels, maybe spend some money in making your existing rooms worth the money, eh?

That aside, staff were good, and Murgatroyds fish and chips across the road made staying here somewhat worthwhile.

Poor premier inn
Pros:

Room 121 was tired and needs renovation, the extractor fan is the bathroom was extremely high pitched, the hair drier rattled and smelt of burning!

Room was clean but I wouldn’t stay again and would expect more from a premier inn,

You also pay for £7 for parking which seems excessive.

Miserable grumpy check in staff
Pros:

Just checked in at 3.30pm 12 october and it took three presses on the bell to get a member of staff to come to reception to check us in. We were met by a miserable grumpy member of staff who made us feel very unwelcome. We showed her a printed off email to say that premier inn would honour the old price of car parking charges as it had gone up since we booked it last year. She said it was out of her hands and couldn't do anything about it and we would have to pay the full price. I rang head office to explain and he said the next time we book they will honour it but had to pay the full price to park. That's not good enough. Yes it's only a small amount but that isn't the point. We have an email saying reception would sort it and they haven't. Also the the member of staff who checked us in needs to go on a retraining programme on how to greet people professionally. In contrast the man at the desk early next morning when we checked out, was very polite and helpful.

Disappointing visit
Pros:

Have stayed at this premier Inn many times and never had a problem. Was concerned after reading reviews and can understand why. The positives were staff were friendly especially in the restaurant and the food was nice and usual premier inn standard. The negatives were its very tired shabby and dirty. We were told on arrival at 3.30pm our room may not be ready as there were staff shortages. The room was ok but shower head very grimey. The breakfast area was dirty and food under the tables looked like it had been there more than a few days . Everywhere looked like it needed a good clean. I have left the review as hope there is some improvement it is badly needed and have enjoyed staying there in the past but reluctant to pay to stay there again unless it improves.

Extremely bad - hugely disappointing. Won't visit again.
Pros:

Very disappointed. Stayed at many premier inns for business (with business acct) and leisure and never any problems. This one however room was dirty not having been cleaned. Bathroom grotty with unclean toilet and bath. Carpet in bedroom not vacuumed with rubbish on floor and coins! Room smelled of mould and damp/foisty. Reception staff very apologetic and inspected room before offering us another room. Second room clean but also strong odour of damp/mould triggering and asthma attack (mould sensitive health issues).

Very poor and tired.
Pros:

Very disappointed. We have stayed at lots of Premier Inn hotels but this was a huge let down. We had to hunt the receptionist on arrival and also when we had to make an inquiry. The hairdryer was broken and the room was very tired.
£15.40 for four small bottles of coke on top of a £7 parking charge was a bit much. We had to wait forty minutes for breakfast, good job we were not going for a flight. Then it was hunt the receptionist again to check out. Never again.
