Rooms not clean!
Pros:

I booked 4 rooms for a special family get together! Three of the rooms were appalling! Full of mould dust and grime! Lights out, heaters not working and curtains on the floor! This is not acceptable! The Lady on reception was not interested! The smell of damp and dirt was not acceptable! The picture advertised certainly did not represent the rooms!
The location and parking however were very good!

Tired and smelly
Pros:

Very mediocre and tired hotel. Reception lady was lovely, the position is great, breakfast was ok but pricey. Inside, the room size and amenities are fine but the room smelt damp and like drains.

Very poor premier inn at Lockyer's quay
Pros:

Very poor experience, mattress was very uncomfortable, stains on the chairs, expensive for the quality of the room. The heater was very loud. We won't be going to this premier Inn ever again.

Best avoided, unless you are desperate
Pros:

Reasonable cheap hotel nicely located. But very cold rooms with limited sound proofing. Parking is £9 per 24 hours. The restaurant is a stomach bug hive, avoid at all costs. Plates and bowls absolutely filthy, food all over the floor and hostess was very put out when I asked to move to a table that didn't have someone else's crumbs and spilt coffee all over.

Plymouth town.
Pros:

Lockyers Quay is on the edge of town and at the harbour side and Its in a great location for exploring Plymouth. The car park was busy when we arrived as there was an event on in the harbour and the car park is next to a pay and display car park. The rooms are great as we always do find a Premier inn, spacious, clean, big bathroom and comfy beds. If you have mobility issues ask for a room near reception as the corridors go on for miles. The staff are very helpful and polite.

Not a peaceful night's sleep.
Pros:

Not the best Premier Inn I have stayed at as the housekeeping service was appalling. The extractor fan in the bathroom didn't work and a light above the bathroom mirror was out. I was more tired after my stay due to a constant howling sound against the outside vent next to the room window. The room was dated and a little dusty. Would I stay here again.... Ummm no.

Great location , not air conditioned rooms
Pros:

Great location 10 mins from Barbican rooms very hot no air unconditioning provided a very noisy fan. Beds were not comfortable we have stayed in premier inns and these were the worst we have had. We not stay here again expensive for the rooms we had

Very Disappointing
Pros:

On arrival I wasn't aware that the parking wasn't included in the overall price, so I had to pay extra on top for each day I stayed. I don't understand this approach but if feels one way to squeeze more money out of you!

The bedroom had no air conditioning so trying to get ready in the morning was a challenge! The window only opened up a little and the fan they give you just circulates the air in the room and make no difference whatsoever.

In the end my partner had to do her makeup in the car as it was a lot cooler outside, and we could make use of the air conditioning!

The bathroom had mold around the shower head and the sink took ages to drain down after being used. You could look down the plug hole and see large clumps of hair!

We raised our concerns to the receptionist but unfortunately, they said there wasn't anything they could do! apart from checking out and moving to their other sister hotel next door which had air conditioning! but we would lose our money for the room we paid for.

I wouldn't be in no rush to head back to this hotel.

Car park charge RIPOFF
Pros:

The hotel is perfectly fine, the location is brilliant and we always stay here but the lack of air con and just a fan in the room isnt the best when its absolutely boiling... the reason i only gave a 3 is because you have to pay for parking which is an absolute rip off and is the reason i will pick somewhere else the next time we visit family.
