Multiple strong comments about excellent price-quality ratio and reasonable pricing; several guests specifically call it great value for short stays.

Do not waste your money. Avoid.
Pros:

I am disabled. The restaurant has a ramp but it is a very long ramp that is quite difficult to negotiate. I wanted an early meal but it did not open until 5-30pm. The hotel looks like it needs a lot of work doing to it, in fact it is awful. I will certainly not stay here again. Very disappointed.

Room not cleaned properly
Pros:

Sheets had red wine stains. Bedside shelf had a piece of chocolate sitting on it ( we hadn't brought any chocolate into the room). Also chef phoned in sick so there was no hot breakfast and we where told at reception we would get a refund as we had prepaid for breakfast and nearly a week later still no refund.

Fell short of usual standards
Pros:

The staff were very friendly and welcoming, which made a good first impression on arrival. The location is also convenient, being close to the motorway and easy to find. Unfortunately, the positives ended there. The room itself was extremely hot, with no air conditioning and very little ventilation, which made it uncomfortable to relax or get a proper night’s sleep. There was also no television remote provided, which was inconvenient, and the overall cleanliness of the room was disappointing – it did not feel as fresh or well-presented as you would normally expect from a Premier Inn. I’ve stayed with the chain many times and usually find the standards to be reliable, but this stay sadly fell short of expectations.

Lovely friendly welcome
Pros:

Booked to stay 2 nights with family we normally stay at the Peel Park Premier inn but they didn't have a family room available, I'm glad in a way as this one was much better. we got a lovely welcome from the receptionist called Gavin, he was very polite and helpful. I didn't realise I should have ordered a cot so when I went to the desk to ask for one Gavin was more than helpful and had one brought to the room really quickly. Great location as only 10 minutes walk into the town centre.

Disappointing check in experience
Pros:

I am a regular customer of Premier Inns and one of the things I like about them is their consistency - you know what you are going to get. However my experience with the check in and room allocation at East Kilbride has rather damaged my opinion.
On arrival I was allocated a room which had clearly not been serviced. There was rubbish piled up on the work service and the bedside table. Also the bed had clearly been slept in. I went to complain and the receptionist offered me an alternative room. Unfortunately when I arrived at this second room it was already occupied. There was female clothing and makeup around - thankfully the occupant wasn't! This could have been at best embarrassing and at worst dangerous.
On the third occasion the receptionist accompanied me to the room and it was in line with Premier Inns consistent standard but I was scarred by my initial experience and doubt that I will stay at East Kilbride again.

Terrible and outdated
Pros:

The hotel room was not clean and had a awful smell. Found it incredibly difficult to sleep and would not return. The breakfast in the restaurant had under cooked food. Hotel needs an overall update. Molds in the bathroom and damp smell.

Comfortable beds - would recommend
Pros:

We arrived here during the night due to a flight delay. The car park approaching the hotel was quite bumpy but reasonably well lit. The car park was full at the front (which was to be expected arriving during the night) but there was plenty of space. The check in was very swift and the lady working the night shift was extremely helpful. After putting our car reg into the machine for parking, we walked to our room. The room was quite small but adequate for us, with tea and coffee making facilities, fresh towels, etc. The only unusual thing was that the window was left open so the room was cold. The beds were comfortable and we slept well. We didn’t stay for breakfast but a child is free with an adult breakfast for £10.99. We checked out but the staff never really acknowledged us and were just chatting in reception. This was in contrast to the previous night but we would book here again.

Run down
Pros:

I think some aspects of this hotel must have altered since the last reviews . The approach to the hotel is in a run down area with derelict industrial type units . The hotel itself looked scruffy from the outside and the carpet in the entrance very dirty . This off putting initial approach was thankfully made up fir with a very warm welcome from the two young receptionists who were charming and helpful . The room was spotlessly clean and the one issue I had - a heater making a strange clicking noise - was quickly and efficiently resolved.

The eatery next door was also off putting and is officially listed as closed - on the night we stayed it was offering evening meals to residents only and no breakfast . We decided to walk into town - there is a shopping mall with several casual dining options within a 15 minute walk - this walk involves a number of underpasses and frankly I was happy not to be doing it alone . The whole area has a rather intimidating vibe.

I doubt this place has much if any repeat custom and we certainly wouldn’t stay again . It’s only saving grace behind the cleanliness of the rooms and friendly and helpful staff.

Fabulous
Pros:

Had a great stay at this hotel, the staff were so friendly! Very welcoming. Will definitely stay again, exactly what I needed for my business stay. A good comfy sleep, my meal was lovely, and breakfast the next day set me up for the day ahead! Highly recommend 👌

Overnight stay
Pros:

Have stayed here a few times now and am never disappointed. Rooms are always clean and tidy. Bed really comfy. It is what you come to expect from premier inn. Food was very good, but the restaurant is across the car park, so hope for good weather!

Rooms not the best
Pros:

Not the best Premier inn. Rooms had an unpleasant smell and bed was uncomfortable.
It's not really central and others in East Kilbride would be better.
Although the check in was fast and very friendly and very knowledgeable.
Car parking is fine

Not the usual standard
Pros:

I stay at Premier Inns quite a lot. I find them reasonably priced and comfy beds. I was staying here as I was visiting family for Christmas. The staff on check in were lovely. It was a bed for a couple of night as I spent the rest of the time at my family’s house so just wanted cheap and cheerful. I’ve stayed here before and this is the first time I’ve found an issue with cleanliness. I didn’t raise it with the staff as I didn’t notice until I got in my bed at night. It was after midnight so I didn’t make a fuss, I just turned the duvet and moved the dirty mark to the bottom of the bed. I’ve attached a photo. I had booked 2 rooms, and the other room had lots of crumbs on the shelves.

Thoroughly recommended
Pros:

A lovely hotel that had everything that was needed. Windows that open and so no air conditioning. However, there was both a fan and heater also in the room if required.

I never heard anything outside of my room and so got undisturbed sleep every night.
