Ignored by breakfast staff
Pros:

Always been a great experience staying here as I’ve stayed at least 6 times before,
However this time just the wait for Breakfast 40 minutes and the one sausage and one piece of bacon was past a joke not to write a review

Nearly called the police on the verbally aggressive staff member
Pros:

The hotel staff ruined our stay.
A staff member aggressively demanded entry into our room at 2am. This was a family room and he would not leave after we stated this and that we have young children in the room, who were terrified at the loud banging and shouting. I was about to call the police when he said he worked at the hotel, despite not being in uniform. After calling down to reception, they said they had seen some people going into each others rooms at 2am. Clearly this wasn’t us as we were fast asleep and he was banging on the wrong door.
There was no apology from him and there has been no ‘adequate’ compensation for all of this. This was the first time staying in a premier inn and I cannot understand how you can treat customers like this.
I expect an apology and for this to be escalated appropriately and resolved to my satisfaction. The feedback card I was given simply offers details of the ‘good night sleep guarantee’, this is 100% to do with staff behaviour and attitude and could have been avoided. You can’t just offer a traumatised tired family 60% off their total stay refunded, it’s disgusting customer service!

Kay was Brilliant!
Pros:

Had a great stay at Sutton Harbour, Plymouth. Perfectly placed to explore some of the lovely parts of the city. It was made even better by the quality of the staff, particularly Kay who would be a credit to any organisation. She was both efficient and effective with seemingly nothing too much trouble.

Excellent staff and lovely hotel
Pros:

Stayed here with some family over the summer. We always pick premier inn as we love the beds and the room is always clean.
What made our stay tho was the staff.
Kay at reception was super friendly and knowledgeable about the area giving us plenty of ideas on what to do.
Her approachable and kindness towards our group really made our stay and even our fussy gran was happy and said it was all down to Kay. :)
We'll deffo return and hopefully see Kay again!

Very average
Pros:

Lift not working, aircon in room not working, so called ultimate wi-fi (that you have to pay extra for) slower than an early noughties dial up modem. Car parking not the cheapest at £9.00 extra a day. Very average stay at this Premier Inn.

Lovely hotel, clean rooms and kind staff
Pros:

Really lovely hotel!

All staff were very helpful, receptionists professional and kind.

We upgraded to premier plus on arrival and loved the room, would highly recommend!

The only thing was that the WiFi barely worked, even the premier plus WiFi.

Top staff
Pros:

Absolutely amazing staff at this Premier Inn I had to actually ask on check out who looked after us as they were all so good!!!
Bryony you are absolutely the ray of sunshine that this world needs you really brightened up our stay! I would also like to thank Patricia for really helping my mum who is gluten free you catered for her beautifully. Thank you as well to Dexter. Tommy and Mark on duty.
Our food was fabulous and cooked to perfection my husband's mixed grill was great.

We walked out of the hotel crossed the footbridge to Sutton Harbour and walked all the way to Royal William Yard which was a fantastic walk.

Thank you again we will definitely be back!!

Poor all round
Pros:

No soundproofing so can hear almost anything from other rooms. Eg. Snoring, TV or phone call. AC units are crazy load and make gurgling noises. Customer service from staff was non existent. Would not stay again

WIFI signal at this hotel is awful
Pros:

WIFi at this location has been awful for the last year. I use Premier inn on a regular basis, avoided this location for at least a year, returned this week with the hope that the WIFI signal would have been fixed but still awful after a year. I am a business customer and the wifi is important for the work I do, customer should be informed in advance that there isn't a working wifi signal at this hotel.

Lovely comfortable room
Pros:

The room was fabulous ( premier plus) with lovely view over boats. spacious immaculately clean with such a comfy bed and generous big towels . Staff were helpful and the position was good for getting around. The only bad thing was the Wi-Fi which in the premier plus room is supposed to be particularly good
It was hopeless and hardly worked at all . This really needs attention as if it had been a business trip it would have been seriously annoying
A pity as otherwise a really good experience .
