Standard Premier Inn hotel. Nothing special
Pros:

Standard Premier Inn, not sure why the accessible room for people with mobility issues was so far down the corridor of rooms. Surely it should be near the exit.

We were in the annex on Monday when the fire alarm was tested without warning. There was a sign in the main reception apparently but not the annex.

Comfortable bed, decent room. Rubbish WiFi

Premier Inn Kettering.
Pros:

Clean room allocated in Annex Building. Needed airing as it had stale smell
and smell like ex-smokers room. Should have Air freshener or aired.
This was acceptable stay but not 'Premier Inn' standard for the amount paid.
Would try different places in Kettering in future.

Overnight stay with Breakfast.
Pros:

Excellent Premier Inn. The staff on Reception were so welcoming. They offered to assist us as my husband is Severely sight impaired. They also gave the children an activity pack. The room was very clean and tidy and we had a lot of room for the 4 of us. Beds were very comfy. The Breakfast in the morning had everything you can imagine ( the children loved the Nutella on toast).

Over priced
Pros:

Hot stuffy room. Very poor 2 nights sleep. No A/C and badly in need of it. Bathroom outdated. Female member of bar staff on the Tuesday night (19th August) indifferent and off hand. Had to ask twice for a white wine bottle cooler which she slammed on the bar. Over priced for such a budget hotel.

Alan Partridge
Pros:

Completely standard business /contractor travel hotel eg: Alan Partridge travel tavern from 1990s.
Only difference is Tesla not Rovers in the car park.

Too hot in the rooms
Pros:

Nice clean rooms and friendly staff. BUT couldn't sleep for the 2 nights we were there due to the temperature in the rooms. They definately need to start fitting air conditioning in the rooms. With these heat waves becomming more frequent it is needed.

Average
Pros:

This was a one night stay after a funeral, to save driving home in the rush hour. Tried Trivargo for the first time, but it just diverted me to the hotels own website. Paid £100 for one room. Check in very good, and appreciated the offer of a sheet because of the warm weather.
Room as expected. Free wi-fi very poor. TV sound quality poor (make recognisable by the remote, but no makers name on set or remote). Only one large towel between two. No air on, which we knew at booking, but they did provide a fan as well as the sheet. No bottle of water.

Just wow
Pros:

So. Stayed on business. Business deal with food plus breakfast. Firstly front desk staff. Great. The hotel. It is situated 3 metres from the A14. Thundering traffic. Constant. I went in June. In a heatwave. My room at midnight was 26.5 degrees. I'd cool it down but your windows are locked shut and the fan was broke. Despite the business rate 'parking is not guaranteed'. That's reassuring on the side of a motorway. You need to book that on arrival. WiFi. That's a chargeable extra.. There is 'free' WiFi. All I'll say is 'connected without Internet' was the feature of my stay.. They outsource that so ring Virgin media at your cost etc.... So the business deal comes with a meal at the pub 'Brewers fayre' which is located between the reception and 2 and 3 other parts of your hotel adjacent to the A14. Again the one member of staff was truly amazing.. Genuinely. He was irked as only 1 of the 3 tills worked. Also he was the only guy at the time and I was in a queue of 8. Sounded like some quiz night. Anyway.. The meal deal. Allows for a drink, starter and main.. It was absolutely awful. Not one part of the meal felt anything other than reheated microwaved gruel. When the plate is scorching and your hideous side coleslaw salad is steaming then....

It's the Premier Inn isn't it?
Pros:

What can I say that hasn't already been said about Premier Inn?
Spacious rooms with comfy beds....Although NOT as comfy as they used to be for some reason?!
Like any chain,some are a little better than others,a little fresher,or a little more modern....This one is pretty much in the middle,not the most modern,but definitely not the 'tired' end of the scale.
Tea/coffee making facilities✔️
Shower/bath combo✔️
1 plug socket by the bed,but a few on the side by the kettle
Room 1 is pretty much directly behind the reception area,so there was quite a bit of door opening/closing action going on,and this was around 1am,so be aware of that when booking,but all things said and done,a decent room.
I travel quite a bit for my work,so a lot of the time I'm literally just checking in around midnight, and leaving again in the morning,so didn't really have chance to get a feel for the room,if I was staying in there all day,but great for what I needed.
Keep being you Premier Inn,and please don't ever change.

Great stopover, super clean, helpful friendly staff
Pros:

Stayed here to visit family. Excellent staff, super helpful and friendly. Everywhere was immaculately clean. Bed was super comfy, room had huge tv with smart connection. It is near a busy road, so some traffic. Ear plugs sorted that, and worth it for the quick and easy connections. Wifi is slow (even on the upgraded 'faster' wifi) but could still manage downloads and get some work done. Premier Inn head office should sort the wifi issue. Overall, a superb stay and we'll be coming here again.
