Average
Pros:

My stay was ok, just. Furnishing is all rather tired and well used, time it was freshened up. Have to ask to have room cleaned and fresh towels if required. Table Table restaurant needs a deep clean! Grubby utensils and equipment and plates and bowls had been taken out of the dishwasher by someone with greasy hands so could see the fingerprints, yuck. Staff were pleasant enough and I suspect short staffed. Cooked breakfast good. No taxis available locally around school run times, but bus near so not the end of the world.

Had a fantastic stay in Premier Inn Bangor . Location is excellent with everything accessible by foot. The entire town and seafront is less than a five minute walk away . Staff were friendly and helpful which is rare nowadays . Rooms were huge , quiet and had a large tv which is essential when travelling with family. Internet was easy to connect to and breakfast was delicious and plentiful . All staff i encountered were helpful and friendly - we will certainly be back .

Perfect for our girls night out needs!
Pros:

Great base for a low-cost overnight stay with colleagues on a work night out. Cheaper than a taxi to outlying villages and really central and convenient for all Banbury nightlife!
Rooms basic but comfortable and have all you need for a night away.
Very quiet and beds comfy.
Sonia on reception was very charming and helped us get 2 rooms next to each other (although why this does not happen automatically when 2 rooms are booked by the same person, I do not know?)
Breakfast was really reasonable with lots of choice and the staff were working so very hard to keep everyone happy, refill items and clear tables etc.
The multistory carpark next door offers plentiful and good value parking (free after 6pm and until 7.30a.m. the next day)
Would definitely stay here again for convenience 🙂

Amazing
Pros:

Me and my lovely fiancée stayed at ballsall common premier inn and I’ve got to say it was outstanding, The rooms and modern and comfortable with cozy feel to them. The staff was extremely welcoming and police to me and my fiancée. I have to mention the receptionist because he gave us the full experience but showing us to our room and explaining where all the facilities are and with times they are available till. He was very polite and made us feel so welcome. The food was amazing and fresh and there’s not one thing or part of this premier inn I can complaint about, would highly recommend this to all people, family and friends.

Great!
Pros:

I stayed here for 1 night a couple of weeks ago. It was a bargain price and the room was comfortable, clean and had what I needed. This was my second time there and both visits were great. I enjoyed the breakfast both times and I'm sure I'll be back.
