Average and poor breakfast.
Pros:

Good location. However difficult to drop bags because of parking. Overnight parking a bit of way from hotel and expensive. Breakfast dried up ( bacon hard and eggs rubbery). It is not what the adverts say.

One night stay over.
Pros:

Not a good experience
Pros:

Very unhappy with the stay. Arrived after daughter graduation in Bristol no on-site parking have to stay in all night car park a mile away and pay for that privilege. We had no idea. Restaurant for breakfast was freezing as automatic glass doors kept flying open. Staff were very dismissive and rude. Reception took ages to answer phone when approaching the venue but we're polite whilst on site.

How cold is it at a premier inn?
Pros:

We has a family were very disappointed with our stay
The room was very cold together with common areas We were told the heating was broken and they had been waiting two weeks for repairs.

We were given a heater which was electric hence to use it we had to leave a card in the room hence a possible fire hazard but we were advised to do this by an employee.

The breakfasts were reasonable and on the whole staff were adequate.

As a result of the lack of heating my wife has been unwell and was glad to get home

We have used premier inns on numerous occasions and are very disappointed

Worse premier Inn we have stayed in
Pros:

I normally love premier inn but this one is awful housekeeping obstruct the corridors with all there trolleys and rubbish blocking my wheelchair access and they decide to dump it all outside of a wheelchair accessible room! Room 207, awful for signal couldn't access my phone services and internet, premier Inn WiFi don't work. Such a shame as this premier inn has 3 reliable lifts and it is right next to the bus station which was ideal for us flying back from Alicante, staff were lovely but those 3 things are the only positives

Amazing
Pros:

Julie was very welcoming and helped sort out an incomplete payment issue with our booking due to a minor issue on the system. Julie immediately identified the issue and understood how to rectify the problem straight away. Myself and my colleague had a very long drive and was very impressed with her skillset and thankful of her abilities and managed to getting checked in without much drama.
Julie is a credit to the company and I would recommend anyone to visit/stay at this hotel.
