Pros:

Run down hotel.
Cracked walls.
Unrefreshend smell to the room.
Not worth 1/4 of the $$$ I paid.
Getting out of the bathtub was a fall hazard.
Shower pressure was low...on the ground floor I wonder what its like on the top floor.
Very unpolite and discriminatory frontend staff.
Had paid for a quadruple room but was given a lower occupancy room.
The only positive thing was the comfy bed and having a roof over one's head.

Just ok
Pros:

Hotel was easy enough to find, we booked a room to go to a social even with a lot of friends, room was ok, food was acceptable, checking is was quite poor we got no information from the staff member, no direction or information so that did let it down a bit. Nothing really shined apart from how much more welcoming the cleaning staff were compared to the staff member we checked in with. Overall it was just ok

Dissapointed
Pros:

Been going to this hotel for years. Unfortunately they have decided to bring the restaurant in house. It's very small with very limited options for beers. Can't say what the food was like apart from the breakfast in the morning that was buffet. They need better heat lamps as the breakfast was luke warm.
Room was great but restaurant is very poor.

Great staff attitude
Pros:

It’s not that this is a fantastic hotel - it’s a humble Premier Inn after all… But I think the excellent staff attitude here deserves full credit. Arriving late after a long day, I inquired about food but the duty manager (sorry that I don’t have his name) said the kitchen would now be closed. Fair enough - it was late. Yet he saw to it that they could rustle up a pizza for me, which I hugely appreciated. The guy cared about his guests. Other staff seemed equally eager to please, and it made the difference to me. The hotel itself is clean and tidy though being a PI it’s a fairly basic spec, of course. Still, the location is quiet and there’s plenty of parking. A bar and restaurant on site open til about 1030pm. There’s not much that’s walkable in the immediate vicinity, and I found locating it by road quite complicated, despite being only yards from a major dual carriageway. Once you’ve figured out how to approach it though, this is a good budget hotel with a great welcome.

Great stay, easy stay
Pros:

had a lovely time at Premier Inn Central, very cosy.
construction next door did not bother us.
Evening drinks are superb, we were tired to go out for drinks, had some bottles of drinks, and it was very easy.

Not the best experience.
Pros:

The internal air ventilation system created a constant and annoying low humming noise which kept me awake for the best of the night. After discussion with receptionist the next morning, He disconnected the system via a switch hidden in the ceiling.
I could forgive and ignore the incident were it not for the fact that I received a parking fine a week later for parking at the hotel. I'm presently appealing this.. All in all, not a good experience for me.

No customer service at all
Pros:

Not returning staff were very rude and started huffing and puffing anytime I asked for assistance with anything. Felt like I was being laughed at and spoken about as well.

great stay
Pros:

My wife and I booked a stay at Premier Inn for a wedding nearby Check-in was quick and smooth, and we were made to feel welcome right away. Our room was immaculate equipped with all the necessary amenities. The breakfast was fantastic, just as expected from Premier Inn, offering a great variety of food. Staff friendly but special shoutout to Chris on reception friendly and professional and to Steph who greeted us with a smile and a great chat on the way to our room.

Really helpful and friendly staff.
Pros:

Quiet on a Sunday night and staff so helpful. Cooked us a meal late and excellent small but quiet breakfast in the morning. Again, great staff and chef took time to tell us how he gets those poached eggs so perfect.! My wife wants to buy the mattress in our room. Manageress explained to us the process to buy one !

immaculate rooms
Pros:

i stayed here with my family while we visiting some friends in the area during the summer i paid for an early check in and just had to give praise to the housekeeper Anna/hannah upon chatting to her i asked her to thank the person who had cleaned the room (we did get there before 11am and it was ready )she told us it was her and i just wanted to say the room was absolutely immaculate it smelled amazing and she had done a great job, the fresh towels were lovely and soft,the beds were so comfortable,upon anna/hannah recommendation we had the cooked breakfast in the dining room and it did not disappoint.from the moment we arrived to the moment we left all staff were attentive super friendly we will definitely return only negative thing i can say is the rooms are very hot and the building does look a little run down from the outside

Dissatisfied
Pros:

Staff never at the desk, nor friendly or helpful. Bathroom smelt of damp and had rotting areas. Rooms like a hotbox no flowing air, fans which blew out hardly any air. No facilities for summer. I had booked 4 rooms for our family, disappointing stay.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Pros:

I recently stayed at Premier Inn Oldham with my father and had a very pleasant experience from the start. We were warmly greeted at reception by a lovely young lady named Chanel, who was very kind, helpful, and accommodating.

For example, we asked for an extra key card and she sorted it immediately - no hassle at all. It’s those little things that make a big difference.

Attention to detail needed
Pros:

On approach parts if the building looked tired and grubby, looks like they are part way thru cleaning or oaining the exterior. Loads of parking, which was a relief , as had been sent an email saying parking was reduced due to construction. The car park is large and plenty of space. Check was easy and fast. Was in a room on ground floor at end of the corridor. The corridor smelt like people had been smoking. The room was a good size for 3 of us, and was clean. Wasnt overly hot which was nice, and had a floor standing fan which we appreciated. Bathroom had 1 bathtowel each, and one hand towel. The downside of the bathroom was that the bin had not been emptied, would not have been a problem except it had 3 used condoms in!! I was in a room with 2 teenage girls, and this oversight was not acceptable! Nina quickly replaced the bin and gave us complimentary breakfast. Nina was very apologetic, but the cleaning is not her job, and she had to deal with the complaint following the poor service if the cleaning staff. Earlier Nina had been very helpful with the planning of our journey to the coop live the next day. She is a credit to the company. Her customer service skills were excellent. Breakfast was spot on, with lits of choice- although they did put my bacon on my daughters plate, but bought out some more.
After breakfast i asked at reception for our bins to be emptied and for clean towels, this was a new receptionist-didnt get her name. She made a note. When we returned very late, our request had not been actioned! Wasnt impressed with this, following the previous days issue. We also reported that a panel kept falling off the wall under the sink in the bathroom. Was told maintenance was done on a tuesday. But as it didnt bother us, we let it go.
Have stayed at Premier Inn on numerous occasions as we trust the brand and know what to expect. This was one of the most expensive stays-£196 for 2 nights and feel like this time you didnt quite hit the mark. Would stay here again as ideally situated for what we needed and overall despite the issues we liked our stay. Probably wouldnt pay top price again tho.
