Perfect for a stayover!
Pros:

A nice little hotel that's great for a stayover. Finding the hotel was easy enough and then getting up to the reception desk was as well. The self check-in kiosks weren't working so we had to buzz for someone, but we were only waiting about a minute until someone came and checked us in. The room itself was large, clean, and suitable for what we needed. We came back quite late after being out and getting back in with our key card was easy enough. All in all, a nice hotel!

a bit disappointing
Pros:

As always, excellent staff, friendly and professional and the beds wonderful For us the Car parking arriving in the dark after a 5hour drive was very tiresome and not clear and took over half an hour to find a space some 100 yards away. Room was cold and it took too long to sort this. Tea/coffee room facilities was just 2 coffee sachets and 2 tea (we do not drink tea). Bar lager was served up in the bottle, we asked for glasses. Breakfast advertised 7am no coffee available until 7.50 but was good when it did arrive. Main cooked meal was not hot!. Our previous experiences of Premier Inn has always been excellent, sadly not on this occasion.

Best stay!
Pros:

Everybody is very friendly and helpful and we like the fact that the parking is free for customers who checked in. We also prefer some vegetarian options for breakfast and restaurant staff were very helpful and cooked us vegan bacon and sausage.

Really good stay
Pros:

Stayed for my daughters dance competition, room was comfy and clean and everything we needed. Restaurant was really good, had a great deal on, main, pudding and drink £16 brilliant value and nice food! Staff really nice and helpful. Special shout out to Tess, receptionist and in the restaurant, she couldn't do enough for us. Really kind and helpful, even left a chocolate and a note wishing my daughter good luck in her competition. Thankyou again to her. Parking was ok, it does get busy as the car park is also shared with cinema and restaurants but the multi story across the road is free and I managed to get my t5 van in, just, and then moved it back to the car park out the front around 11pm ready for the early morning start.
Have stayed here twice now, and will book again next year. Brilliant location with m&s 2 min walk away.

Chaotic
Pros:

A bit below average sadly.

Room is what you pay for, basic, not overly clean. Decent premier inn mattress but no windows to open and not a fully functional air conditioner.

Dinner was an utter shambles, 2 members of staff, serving, checking customers in, washing pots and taking orders. Only 4 tables in the restaurant were occupied, huge delay in order being taken, incorrect order came. Quality of the food not good, microwave lasagne made for an interesting night… once up In our room we had a tap on the door from a waitress asking for more money as we had things to eat out of the meal deal!? A lot of food choices and drinks sold out. All felt very chaotic. Breakfast was standard. Car park wasn’t easy and very busy, lovely park to walk across opposite the hotel.
All in all a quick pit stop to lay the head but won’t return sadly

Awful!
Pros:

Air-Conditioning not working.
Only on second night did they offer a fans.
Hallway stank of mould and other poor smells.
Staff argumentative and wouldn't move you. Instead argued and threatening behaviour. Completely unprofessional. Would avoid in future and would advise against staying.
