Eda’s exceptional service
Pros:

Really great hotel. Service outstanding. Food served on hot plates and really great value for your money.
Eda on Tuesday served me for breakfast and was there again for dinner. She is exceptional at service and an utterly nice person too. Having to cover the bar and to serve everyone’s food, she was outstanding.

Dirty Hotel Covered in Scaffolding
Pros:

Another Premier Inn that has gone downhill.

No parking next to the hotel or anywhere to drop off your bags. Road outside is blocked off and the hotel is covered in scaffolding.

Room was grim, dirty bedside tables which hadn't been cleaned, dubious mold and marks around the shower screen in the bath. Carpets with stains on them and the veneer peeling off the desk in the room.

Plus heating controlled from reception. You have to come downstairs and beg at reception for them to turn it up as they keep the temperatures low to save on heating.

Once upon a time Premier Inns used to be good and now they are run by a skeleton staff with little care for the customers experience. Will probably be my last time booking one as this is the third one I've stayed in this year that was sub par.

Damp rooms
Pros:

The room was dangerously damp you are hit by the smell of damp when you enter the room, there was no room alternative so we had to stay there or sleep in the car which isn't really a choice with a 5 year old. I had trouble breathing in the morning.

Horrible smell in bathroom
Pros:

Location good for The Farmers Dog pub.
Hotel bathroom had a very strong smell of drains. Complained to the reception staff and they said they would look into it. Smell did not go all the time we stayed there.
Had to ask for our room to be cleaned. The receptionist said we were late leaving our room and he would ‘see what they could do’.
On arriving back to our room that evening, we had clean towels and our bed made (with the same dirty sheets).
We were not given clean cups, spoons or had our teas and coffees topped up.

Chef !
Pros:

The chef was rude and sarcastic I asked is there any sausages and eggs he said they will be 12 minutes I told you already he said, had not even spoke to him !
After sitting down next couple that came in waited 15 minutes on there table before going up asking for black pudding and eggs again being rude to them smirking and head shaking.

some staff could do with customer service training
Pros:

came with my daughter and arrived 15 mins early. The fella on reception ignored our arrival and was busy chatting to another member of staff. A family walked in to check in and he served them straight away even though he clearly saw us waiting. We felt invisible! Our room had a funny smell and I had to ask for coffee sachets and toilet roll for our room. For a newish building it was a little run down with bricks missing out of the walls.

Such potential ruined by smell
Pros:

Mixed review
Starting with the negative. I had read reviews about smells but thought might have been sorted. There was a sick smell in our room (1st floor) and smelt of nappies in corridor. I heard a lady complain of sewage smell in her room on 2nd floor. Needs to get sorted!! Such a shame as food is lovely and staff really make it!! Laura, Zac and Pauline were really helpful.

Lovely hotel and friendly staff
Pros:

Lovely stay. Hotel was clean. Staff were friendly, breakfast was good. I did feel for the staff as they were covering both reception and the breakfast and were so busy, but if we asked for something they sorted without hesitation.
