Premier inn, cannok south, hotel
Pros:

Had an excellent sleep. Beds really comfy.
Lovley staff.
Beverley on reception was brillant.
Ask for a room clean half way through the week, come back from my course and everything was 'spick and span'.

Pre Christmas get away
Pros:

Premier Inn are always our “go to” if spending a couple of days away from home. Cannock South, is probably one of the ones awaiting their update. It is seems old fashioned and dated but still clean and staff helpful and friendly which is exactly what you want. Due to the time of year it could be there seem to be more tradesman/workmen staying than tourist but again fair play they need to diversify their income and no complaints from this end

Good Night's Sleep is not Guaranteed
Pros:

The room was very clean and although on the smaller side, a typical premier inn room. However, when we turned all the lights off we realised that intermittently two bright green flashes were coming from the ceiling smoke detector. This was positioned right above the bed and was bright enough to disrupt sleep - you could still see the flashes with your eyes closed. It was exacerbated by the black out curtains doing their job too well so literally no other light was in the room to diffuse brightness of the flashes. You say you guarantee money back if your guests don't sleep, but when I talked to reception at checkout to tell them I thought there was a fault, they brushed it off saying "no, that's standard now, loads of guests have complained and we fed it back to Head office and they haven't come back to us. We can't turn it off, we're told it's health and safety..." They were apologetic enough but not proactive and I while I wouldn't want to jeopardise safety, I would question why it was positioned right over the bed and not in the corridor by the bathroom, a little more discreetly. Our sleep was rubbish - we ended up getting up and leaving at 6.30am to head home instead of staying for breakfast as we were so fed up. If you're planning to book this one, bring some blue tack to cover the LEDs and don't assume their good night sleep guarantee is comprehensive.

Wonderful reception and support
Pros:

We booked the assisted room in preparation for my husband who was having surgery locally. Room very well equipped including emergency pull cord...which within 5 minutes my husband pulled the cord instead of light ! Within seconds Beverly (staff member) was at our room to ensure we were OK. Beverly has been incredibly helpful in many ways especially pointing out an error I had made with my booking . Nothing was too much trouble for her and made the stay very comfortable and stress free

Lovely receptionist
Pros:

Lovely hotel nice and clean . The bed was nice and comfortable I couldn’t get up in the morning. Big thank you to Beverly made us feel welcomed. It was nice to be greeted by her instead of a machine. Nothing was to much trouble every premier inn should have a Beverly. Smooth checking in.

All good in the end
Pros:

My trip was only marked as this due to Bev on reception. A clerical error on the booking which was easily fixed became a nightmare to resolve. Bev went above and beyond.

Great budget hotel
Pros:

Great location, friendly staff.
Room was clean, added bonus of a fan already in the room as it was quite warm which was a great touch.
Bathroom was clean but the water took absolutkey ages to heat up. That was the only bad thing I can say. Everything else was top notch.

Warm and welcoming hotel.
Pros:

Premier Inn Cannock South was a pleasure to stay in. Albeit very basic, they catered to all my needs.
The room was a decent size and clean.
My family and I were quite happy.
The staff are warm and welcoming and very helpful.
In the extreme heat we were provided with a fan. This shows the length they go to, to ensure the comfort of their guests.

Above & beyond
Pros:

A massive thanks to the receptionist Dani. We booked a room for my Mom for the weekend, she is slightly deaf & gets confused. Mom was looking for us in the car park as she forgot what time we was collecting her for the hotel, Dani took the time to talk to my Mom & was very friendly & caring with her.
Big thank-you were so accommodating with us coming & going, made it so much easier for us all. When collection & dropping Mom back off.

I booked a stay for my mom to spend a few days with us. A big thank you to Beverley. My mom got confused about the time we were meeting her. Mom was looking for us in the car park and was rescued by Beverley. She took the time to talk to my Mom and was very caring.
Thank you to all on Reception who were so accommodating with us coming and going and made it so much easier for us all.

Not a good premier inn and a horrible pub for food
Pros:

Warm rooms with a dirty fan provided. Pub next door serves very poor quality food for dinner, not a clean place with awfully sticky floors
