Mixed
Pros:

I give a three star review purely because of the lovely and friendly waitress Angela. What a lovely helpful employee. Last nights receptionist needs re training re: booking in disabled people. Rude and unfeeling. When I pointed out that her manner was really not right, she spent five minutes at the front desk arguing as to why she was right.

Good hotel. But about to be renovated I believe.
Pros:

Room good. Breakfast good choice.
Only niggle is you have to ask on the day to get your room cleaned.
We did this, but on the day we got clean towels , no clean cups bed not made, and no tea bags, milk or coffee. This was the Saturday.

Breakfast team at Dumfries Premier Inn
Pros:

Weve been to a few premier inns over the last few years and the team at breakfast in this one is top notch. They have a really nice vibe and everything is run really smoothly. Happy to help with allergies, friendly, obviously happy to work together, and supportive - especially Heather- massive thanks to her!

Sleepless nights
Pros:

The reception staff were lovely when we arrived but it went downhill from there.
The room was nice and clean but couldn't charge our phones as the usb socket had been removed from the sockets.
Had to contacted reception who luckily gave us a plug.
First night guests from the room upstairs were thumping about till nearly 2.30am tried to contact reception but no-one there.
2nd night it went on till after midnight but after thumping on the ceiling it calmed down.
Reported it to reception who said it was a wedding party that was booked in..
Please don't take a room on the bottom floor if you want a good nights sleep..

A Great Autumn Break
Pros:

The place is ready for an overhaul, a bit scruffy in the corridors but as clean as I would expect in the accmmodation The staff, particularly Heather & Paige, were very pleasant The meal deal lived up to expectations but dinner would become boring after 4 nights The cooked breakfast varied from day to day depending on how busy the place was My husband really enjoyed the black pudding We would visit again if in the area but, as a double leg amputee, I would have to have the one & only full wet room there Our accessible lowered bath was useless for me The Dumfries ares is beautiful & we were very lucky to have three days of sunshine

Small tweaks required.
Pros:

Location good.
Atmosphere none.
Rooms - 1st room issue with lights and toilet. 2nd room no issues.
Value good.
Younger restaurant staff need customer service training. Not helpful and didn't know the menu and didn't appear to care.
Food in the evening very dry either over cooked or left under the heat lamp too long.
Breakfast not the best quality.
Reception not the warmest welcome but helpful when requested.
Generally a good hotel with some improvements needed.

2 minutes
Pros:

I stayed there 21/10:25. Room 17. Our company uses Premier quite a lot.
I went to order an evening meal, only to be told by the guy behind the bar that the food order deadline is 8:45pm. I immediately checked my phone and it was exactly 8:47pm; I showed him and asked where it says 8:45 is the latest order time because there were no signs anywhere - not even the menu? - he just gave me a blank look, shrugged his shoulders and said “Nah mate, it’s closed”. I’d been driving most of the day and didn’t get any lunch so I was starving.
I went to breakfast the next morning and discussed it with one of the staff (Angela) she brilliant - such a nice lady. She was genuinely shocked that they would treat a guest like this over 2 minutes!
I’ll be advising our company’s booking agents to start using someone else to put our people in.
