In need of some extensive maintenance
Pros:

This has to be the most rundown Premier Inn I have ever stayed in.

I am a regular Premier Inn user both businesses and pleasure, the hotel looks like it has been forgotten about and left to fall into a poor state of repair.

No AC or cooling in the rooms, it was surprisingly warm despite having no heating on. Had to open the window to cool the room. It was raining and the gutters were so full with moss all we heard was a steady stream of poring water from bouncing on the ground directly outside our window.

In the morning I looked round and the whole roof and gutters all round were the same, water cascading down from every junction and outlet, all gutters full of moss and grass.

Outside poorly maintained, people seem to be parking on the grass outside the hotel which has turned into a mud bath.

The hotel has the main building and an annex which wouldn’t be an issue apart from separating family between different buildings wasn’t ideal.

Generally not what I have been used to standard wise for this hotel chain.

SEX TOYS IN ROOM!!
Pros:

Booked in with my Partner and our 2 year old for 1 night. Our room was number 3 and in our room was a piece of paper which stated us to find a cut out bear and if found to take to reception where our little one could have a prize, which we thought was a nice touch. However, whilst looking for this bear with much disbelief we found sex toys behind a photo frame. It's not in my nature to kick off and make a scene, so I went and told reception who removed them from our room. However, all we were given was a free breakfast, which wasn't the best breakfast but wasn't awful. But since really taking a step back and thinking about the situation, I think it could have been dealt with better. My child was in that room and what do a lot of children do with things they find, put them in their mouth!! I feel this was just laughed off, the women who collected it from our room even stated she accused the other receptionist for leaving them there. Obviously these rooms aren't being checked and cleaned thoroughly. Disgusted this happened especially in a family room!!!

Pretty average stay, not great value for money
Pros:

We stayed here recently for a wedding nearby and overall had a good experience. The staff were very friendly and helpful, and our bed was really comfortable, which made for a great night’s sleep.

We had booked an early check-in, and although this was initially a little stressful as rooms weren’t immediately available, the receptionist handled the situation politely and did her best to get us into a room as quickly as possible, which I really appreciated.

I am a part-time ambulatory aid user, and while I was fortunate to be having a good day and didn’t need my aids, I did notice that we were directed straight to the stairs and I didn’t see a lift or signage for one. It would have been helpful if accessibility information had been clearer.

The only other small thing I would have liked was an iron in the room, as I didn’t have time to go back to reception to request one.

That said, at £87 for the night, I didn’t feel the stay was particularly good value for money.

Overall though, the friendliness of the staff and the comfort of the bed stood out, and we relatively enjoyed our stay.

Enjoyed our stay
Pros:

Hotel personnel were very helpful and friendly.
Room, Toilet and shower very clean. Tea and coffee in the room was always replenished.
The fan system air and refrigeration from the kitchen in the Beefeater was very loud especially at 05:30 AM. All in all I can recommend this hotel. 8 minutes with a Taxi to the train station.

Pleasant. 7/10.
Pros:

I checked in thurs afternoon and the lady at reception was incredibly helpful.
She was dealing with an issue when I arrived so I had to wait a few mins, but she seemed like nothing phased her at all and was very efficient.
The hotel was pleasant, sinks were dated and worn.
Limited selection of teas compared to other Premier inns.
Would stay again for right price.

Noisy but clean and comfortable.
Pros:

The restaurant is very close by and causes a great deal of noise from the extractor fan at the back of the kitchen - which is opposite the bedrooms. It was so loud (from 5am to after 10pm) that we couldn't have the bedroom window open at might during hot weather (no air con either). There is no lift so you have to drag your cases up the stairs.

Not the best premier inn
Pros:

Staff were friendly and welcoming but the hotel is in need of some refurbishment. Room was stifling hot and all I had was a dodgy fan to try and keep me cool.

Everything is very basic and the bed was really lumpy and uncomfortable.
