Avoid. Must be better hotels nearby.
Pros:

Rooms dirty and smelly. Water kept leaking from somewhere in the bathroom causing puddles. Had to ask to have the sheets changed because stained. Cleaner don’t do anything. Mugs were not changed so we had to ask the grumpy lady on reception for more. Very rude stating we should have 4 people in a room when it was a family room booked for 2 adults and kids. Everything was too much trouble. Breakfast was cold.

Nice Hotel
Pros:

Such a lovely hotel, very easy to find. The room was clean and was exactly what I wanted for the weekend. The staff were friendly and helpful, the restaurant was nice, there was enough food to keep you going all day. It is useful having the pub next door. I am looking forward to staying again in the future.

Refused to honour their promotion ,
Pros:

Booked a two night stay with the free promotional breakfast offer , however the hotel refused to honour the promotion even though we had screenshots as proof , premier inn have confirmed it was an error on their part and offered an apology but refused to offer us any discount / refund off our next stay , we stay at premier inns several times a year but will never book another premier inn ,

Bad bad not good.
Pros:

Arrived at 10pm after a long slow journey. Couldn't check in until 11pm because there was a problem with the keycard system and reception couldn't issue any new cards. Wouldn't have been so bad but reception were in a right flap and didn't keep any of us informed. Very stressful not knowing if we would be able to get into our rooms or not. Terrible nights sleep because people outside pub next door chatting loudly at 2am and noise from car sound systems. Even earlier plugs not adequate. Additionally, basin blocked and draining very slowly, net curtains fell down, bathroom in poor state of repair.

WORST HOTEL STAY EVER - PREMIER INN SHOULD BE ASHAMED
Pros:

I wouldn't recommend this hotel to anyone, particularly if you are staying more than one night. If I could give zero I would. We already knew it wasn't air conditioned but the temperature in the room was between 27 - 29 degrees for the 6 days we stayed. Two fan only circulating warm air. There was no shelf in the room where the mirror is, just the hair dryer hanging down. Inadequate storage if staying more than a couple of night. Paint flaking off the walls. Reception staff staff couldn't help and the room wasn't cleaned when we asked reception. Don't bother with Guest Relations afterwards as they don't give a toss either as we were given a tiny credit

Excellent stay, staff brilliant.
Pros:

First class, everything you could ask for and more at a Premier Inn. All staff brilliant, but must highlight Jamie who was inspirational to all staff and was polite, knowledgeable, informative and a pleasure to meet. A real and genuine credit to Premier Inn.
Breakfast time extremely busy but managed brilliantly by the staff, must highlight the chef, who kept everything fresh and tasty.

Decent hotel, rubbish Tea Bags
Pros:

I Stayed in a 1 bedroom room. At check I waited for about 10 mins while the lady infant of me was being checked in, there was a confusion with her booking . My check in was quick after that, when I got into the room it was very warm so they had put a fan on which was nice, I had some cold drinks and was looking for a fridge but there was'nt one, so my drinks got warm, I also had a pint of milk for my tea because im not fussed on the little cartons they supply. Being in Leeds I thought they would supply Yorkshire Tea bags but instead they had rubbish PG Tips, I had to use 2 tea bags for 1 cup of tea the get a decent brew, so if you like a nice cup of tea best take your own tea bags.
The shower was nice, it had a nice flow through the shower head and was quite relaxing. there was enough towels and there was a shower soap dispenser in the shower .
Had a decent sleep, it was quiet enough until I heard the occupants above walking around at 4am, the floor boards were creaking.

Awesome stay
Pros:

Took my 2 boys..Liam (11) and Oliver (8) to this hotel. 1st time we've ever stayed in a hotel and it was just amazing from start to finish. Reception staff were warm friendly and welcoming. The rooms were cozy, well presented and stocked with a few bits to make a hot drink. The beds are just awesome...cudda stayed all week just to lay in them!!. Breakfast was lovely n very tasty.

Liam rated the stay 9.5/10 (half a mark off coz internet wasnt up to his standards 🤣)

Oliver gave a 7/10 🙄...(low score due the the fact they served apple juice at breakfast n it makes liam fart apparetly 🤷‍♂️🤣...altho seems a tad harsh on the hotel 🤣🤣)

For me a 10/10. Perfect stay 🥰
