Best hotel I’ve ever stayed at
Pros:

I had an absolutely wonderful stay at the Premier Inn thanks to Lina. Her customer service is beyond exceptional – she is warm, friendly, and truly goes above and beyond to make guests feel welcome.

This Premier Inn is honestly above any I’ve ever stayed at. The whole team is incredibly friendly and welcoming, and the facilities are amazing. From the moment I arrived to the moment I left, I felt genuinely looked after.

I would come back to this hotel just for the amazing staff and the outstanding way they treat their guests. Highly recommended!

Needs a good clean and refurbished
Pros:

Disappointing stay at this hotel. It is in desperate need of a refurbishment. We stayed for one night and were allocated a room on the ground floor. Cleanliness was not great. The bedding had stains on them that we had to ask to be changed. The shower cubicle could have done with a good clean as did the whole bathroom. Thankfully, only a one night stay.

A great location and the normal Premier inn standard.
Pros:

Another good stay at this hotel. An ideal location and a very comfy bed. Just starting to show signs that's it need a refresh. The standard of cleaning could be a little better. All of this did not affect our great stay.

Dissapointing
Pros:

Worst premier inn i have ever stayed at.
I stay in premier inns 4 nights a week for about 48 weeks a year and this place is something else.
Checked in at 4.45 pm to find room wasn't ready..once in room found it tired and dated and the batteries for the heating controls were missing..
Booked for evening meal and arrived 10 mins early to be told I would have to wait, pub/restaurant is not open to public or walk ins...never seen this before.. room price was nearly double for 2nd night stay even though room wasn't serviced..food was easier if they said what they had rather than what they didn't have....
Room wasn't overly clean..massive nail in the coffin for premier inn...hello Holiday inns .

The room was just what we would expect from Prem Inn's, functional and very clean.
Pros:

My partner and I arrived late on Friday evening and finding our reservation was initially a problem but Lina was able to locate the appropriate documentation; she as brilliant and so helpful, and helped us with the parking situation. It was very full and she kindly gave up her space to assist us, two rather tired and older people. Five start Lina and a big thank you from us.
