Welcoming Premier Inn
Pros:

Have been to this Premier Inn several
times. The staff friendly, helpful and the rooms are clean. The location is good and near to central Milton
Keynes for shopping etc. The only good thing that the Brewers Fayre are good at is the breakfast which is good, plenty of choice and staff polite, different to when we went in for a drink when the Manager was rude and more interested in putting up Christmas decorations. We had eaten there on a previous visit but not again, we took a short walk around the lake to The Lakeside pub and Brewers Fayre could
learn somethings from them. This is a shame that Brewers Fayre lets down Premier Inn as the staff in the hotel work hard to make people feel at home.
Will back to this Premier Inn - keep up your great work.

Premier inns have gone downhill
Pros:

I think Premier Inn in general aren't as good as they once were. The Silent Night mattresses aren't anywhere near as comfortable as the the old Hypnos ones and I don't find the overall cleanliness of the rooms to be at the standard they used to be. This isn't just the Minehead hotel either, we used to use Premier Inns a lot because they were usually fairly priced and pretty consistent in quality. However I'm finding using independent or smaller chains to be a better option with greater attention to detail being taken. The best thing I can say about our recent trip was at least we didn't have to change rooms 3 times due to poor cleanliness unlike our previous stay last November.

Great location, friendly staff
Pros:

Great location with views over the lake from some rooms. The breakfast was excellent and the staff really attentive and welcoming. The restaurant next door, Hickories, was fully booked both nights, so if you plan on eating here book early.
The room was clean and tidy, but the only negative, it was starting to look a little tired and could do with a refresh.

Clean Room & Great Service
Pros:

We were welcomed warmly by Hector at the reception when we checked in and throughout our stay particularly during breakfast time. The kitchen/buffet staff/chef Nora was also friendly and smiled throughout our interaction with her making us feel at ease as we ate our breakfast. Overall we received excellent customer service throughout our stay.

Disappointing
Pros:

One star down for charging £7 a night parking. Other hotels simply add reg no. to iPad. One star lost for not answering the phone. The new automated call service is a disaster. I was told, if there were a problem in the night, I should email the hotel. They said ‘we check our emails every couple of hours’. Not good enough.

Freshly made recommend
Pros:

The food is amazingly great fresh and very reasonable price kids eat free and is a bargain also if they do very good service and you could donate money to a hospital in London! Recommend!

Lovely hotel, everything clean, staff are friendly. Just difficult to find in the dark and pouring rain. A tip for anyone visiting, its the second roundabout, not the first one that shows a bed sign!!

Worn out
Pros:

Staff wonderful but the hotel is just worn out and cold. If it's a business trip, find somewhere else as the lakeside location is irrelevant

Give it a MISS!
Pros:

Don't shower - it's dirty, you are better off when you get home! The bed was so uncomfortable, quality of the linen was very poor. Dirty bathroom, carpets stained - overall this PI needs a full refurbishment - paint peeling, stained floor in the bathroom...AVOID! oh, and if you are cold, don't bother about trying to raise the temperature in the room - it doesn't allow you to, even though there is instructions!!

Our holiday in Minehead
Pros:

The hotel is excellent and the staff are very helpful and friendly. The meals at Brewers Fayre are very good. We only had breakfast once as we had to pay for unlimited food. I only had cereal and fruit and it cost nearly £9. Didn't want any more so a bit expensive. Otherwise a very good experience. Friendly staff and quick service.

Traditional Premier Inn experience. I'd choose Willen Lake for my next visit to Milton Keynes.
Pros:

For a weekend away PI meets our family needs and remains our go-to budget hotel of choice. There are several PI's in Milton Keynes, though not all had vacancies. The other criteria I set is to have on-site parking (check - Though not free, was about £8 per 24 hours via an app/machine; air-conditioning - check, my wife likes a cool night's sleep; on-site restaurant - check, nicely laid out and up to PI's usual good standard. We included the buffet full-English for our stay, which was great and plentiful). The lake is accessible to walk around and a children's play area also close by. Willen Lake PI is obviously well used, though very clean with comfortable amenities. The staff are efficient, were always available and friendly.
