Excellent value for money. Perfect location for town and easy to access
Pros:

This is the second time I have been to this Premier Inn. Its clean and comfortable. Location is perfect in the town centre. Despite being in the town there is little external noise so its quiet. Parking in St Johns nearby was very easy and also reasonably priced; I wish more towns and cities were so easy and sensibly priced. The staff were very helpful and friendly .Will go again

Welcoming and friendly
Pros:

Staff at this Premier Inn were so helpful and friendly. We had booked an early check-in and requested a ground floor room near to reception. B9th requests were met.
Bridget on reception was very welcoming and despite a very short window to get our room ready, everything was clean, neat and comfortable.
Food at the Blue Cap was excellent too!

Hardly Premier
Pros:

There always seems to be an issue at this hotel. I have been on at least three occasions where I have booked the meal deal and when I have come down for the evening meal I get told there's no chef. No one mentioned anything when checking in or gave me a refund. I have also booked a premium room twice now and then not been given one.

Disappointing
Pros:

Not aware at all time of booking that we could have requested a room close to reception and with a walk in shower.
Hotel needs a refurb. Room very tatty and tile grouting needed cleaning.

Always a friendly welcome from Mary
Pros:

We have stayed at this Premier Inn regularly for the last 11 years because we have family living nearby. We stay there several times a year and always get a friendly welcome from Mary on reception.

The rooms are always clean with comfortable beds. Some of the showers have been upgraded which is very welcome, but the hotel does need a general refresh.

Amazing customer service
Pros:

First time as a solo traveller. Staff on reception were brilliant. Friendly and put my mind at ease by telling me there is always someone there if I have any problems. They were chatty and asked me about my night the next day. Probably the best customer service I have ever received
