Excellent experience
Pros:

Convenient location with carparking available. A really comfortable stay in a premier plus room. Good value for money. Spotlessly clean. Very pleasant reception staff. We had an evening meal at the Brewers Fayre attached. Food was very good and staff very helpful. We would have no hesitation in staying again.

Part of our holiday and more like family!
Pros:

What can I say except Premier Inn at Whins of Milton , Stirling is part of my husband and my holiday! We stay each year and it is always like”coming home”. The staff are always welcoming and friendly and this continues to the restaurant. To see the familiar faces of the staff is like part of our family!
We stay on the way and coming back. So , lucky us!
The accommodation is good and comforting and restaurant very good. I am gluten free and lactose intolerant and relax knowing that I am catered for. Thank you so much and look forward to our next visit! Regards to all the staff!

Excellent
Pros:

Great hotel - the best Prem Inn we have visited.
We opted for the upgraded round - it was large, bed was comfy and the shower great.
Nice touches such as cholated bard, tea and coffee facilities and incl Wi-Fi made this a good option.
Staff very friendly.
Will stay again for sure.

Very good
Pros:

Very clean and a quiet room even though facing the car park. Very friendly staff including the bar staff and the manager who gave us helpful advice. Only thing we would not bother with again is the cooked breakfast as we have had it on both stays and it was cold as it wasn't topped up. Otherwise it deserves 5* and we will stay again

Premier Inn how it should be!
Pros:

Well this is the Premier Inn of old!
Premier Plus Room
Very clean
Perfect relaxing room with great seating and dining area. Well decorated to a high standard. The lighting is amazing, with uplighting and a gorgeous lamp.
A well thought out room situated in a lovely quiet decorated corridor.
Proper toilet rolls rather than those horrid dispensers, lovely shower (no bath) decorated very well.
Room was cosy and warm or cool if you needed. All round great! Well done, relieved to see a huge improvement.
I have slated most Premier Inns in recent years for being tired and not comfortable like they used to be, but this room certainly turned back the clock to how they should be.

We ate at the restaurant located next door, for dinner & breakfast, this again was really good. Despite having a coach trip in, plenty of selection at breakfast. Clean cutlery and crockery.

All very Good, Great Staff
Pros:

We've stayed here on several occasions over the years and, as always, everything was very good. It is clean, secure and well placed to get on the motorway

Our room was spacious, had a large comfortable bed and a good bathroom

There is a restaurant on site and we had a drink one evening as well as a breakfast one morning. Everything was of a good standard

I'd like to make special mention of two staff although, unfortunately, I don't have their names

On the morning of our departure I, stupidly, left my phone on the roof when putting our stuff in the boot. We set off and quickly realised what I'd done. We got back to the hotel 15 minutes after we had left but could not find the phone. The young lady in reception, who had blond hair, watched the cctv and although she could see the phone on the car she could not see where it had fallen off. She took my wife's number and said we'd get a call if it turned up

Shortly before we arrived back in Peterborough later that afternoon my wife got a call from a very helpful gentleman at the hotel to say my phone had been handed in. He sent photos and it was very bashed up and looked like it had been run over by a vehicle. He said he'd post it to me and didn't want me to pay the cost

I held out very little chance that it could be "saved" . However my local phone shop installed a new camera and a new screen and it's working fine

So big thanks to the two staff who did an excellent job. You're both a real credit to the hotel and sorry I didn't get your names

Nice stay
Pros:

The staff was very friendly and gave us an extra towel and helped us with directions. The room was big and clean with a very comfy bed and bathtub. There is free parking and a restaurant as well.

Very comfortable stay.
Pros:

We returned to this hotel as we enjoyed a previous stay. We were not dissapointed. The staff are so friendly and helpful and we were looked after very well. The beds are extremely comfortable with soft bedding and towels. The room was clean and had kettle, hairdryer and nice soaps . I would have liked a fridge facility but that's just me as I like fresh milk and chilled drinks at night.

Great for an overnight stay and breaking the journey
Pros:

Excellent location close to the motorway network making it ideal for breaking a 700 mile journey to the north coast of Scotland. Friendly reception and a comfortable, clean room. The adjacent pub/restaurant was a little tired looking but the evening meal and buffet breakfast were fine. We would use again.

Convenient to EDI and M9 if you’re looking for a quick stopover.
Pros:

Quick stopover from EDI to the Highlands. We were looking for one night’s rest after flight from U.S. and before renting our vehicle. We did not want to spend the time at an airport hotel and we decided to visit Stirling Castle. Uber from EDI was 35 min and 88 pounds. For an extra 15 pounds we were able to check in at 11am.

Clean, comfortable lodging off the M9. We needed a taxi to reach the city center and castle which was not a problem. Restaurant on premises fine for breakfast.

OK but prefer more Honesty
Pros:

Nice hotel and the reception lady was very nice on arrival. Quilt was stained as I strip bed before I leave. £115 per night on website and £100 dearer if done by phone. Not as per tv adverts ( from £46) Long way from £46. Breakfast not included. Reception lady with glasses not interested.
