Exactly what you want/except of a premier in, staff (especially Steph) are great
Pros:

Second visit this month, greeted by Steph both times, a very welcoming and knowledge professional, exactly the person you want helping and representing the brand when it’s a first time visit. somehow she even remembered me which always goes the extra mile. Rooms are exactly what you expert when you book a premier in, a clean and comfortable night stay.

Will return regularly.

Amazing!
Pros:

We stayed the night a couple weeks ago whilst visiting family in the area. Had a great stay. Great location and the room was spotless! Was abit worried about staying with young children as we didn’t know how clean it would be. But it was amazing and so hygienic. Definitely worth the money. Will definitely be staying again.

Clean rooms but no air-con
Pros:

Stayed here as we were attending the horse racing at Doncaster racecourse. Location was ideal as it was walking distance to the racecourse. Rooms were a bit dated, but clean. The staff we encountered were all friendly. The rooms didn't have air-con (which we knew) but thought it would be fine for a stay in November. It wasn't - the rooms hold a lot of heat so it was difficult to sleep. There is a fan which helps, but can be noisy. Parking is free and not far from the hotel. It's reasonable value for money.

Depressing, dull & dated
Pros:

This hotel is very tired and dated, the decor is depressing, dull & the rooms are used.
The WiFi does not work & the signal for 5g/4g is terrible.
The walls are thin so other room noise is loud above and to the sides.
The extractor fan is so loud it is not a relaxing bath & the heater is an old thing on the wall - no air con.
Fine if you are not needing to be in the room for long but after work and here for 4 weeks is not a pleasant experience.

There is a hairdryer - suitable
The pub/restaurant isn’t terrible it’s ok.

2 day Doncaster races visit
Pros:

Stayed for 2 nights to visit Doncaster races we had 4 rooms for 8 people. This is the 2nd year we have stayed the staff can’t do enough to help guests. The rooms are spacious neat clean well equipped and tidy. The beds are so comfortable. It’s an easy 5 min walk or short taxi ride to races course and near to lakeside shopping centre. Breakfast was included in the restaurant at the side of the hotel there’s a Nando’s and a pizza parlour on site lots of restaurants a short drive away. Large parking area right at side of hotel.

No Wifi
Pros:

As expected for a Premier Inn with usual facilities, good food in restaurant next door. However, wifi is awful, unable to connect to network, spoke to reception, got a voucher code for ultimate, not much use as will not connect to the Premier Inn wifi, reception said they have been aware of an issue for some time. Get your act together and sort it out. A standard problem at PI, is some tv channels missing and no option to retune.
