Average
Pros:

My stay was ok, just. Furnishing is all rather tired and well used, time it was freshened up. Have to ask to have room cleaned and fresh towels if required. Table Table restaurant needs a deep clean! Grubby utensils and equipment and plates and bowls had been taken out of the dishwasher by someone with greasy hands so could see the fingerprints, yuck. Staff were pleasant enough and I suspect short staffed. Cooked breakfast good. No taxis available locally around school run times, but bus near so not the end of the world.

Amazing
Pros:

Me and my lovely fiancée stayed at ballsall common premier inn and I’ve got to say it was outstanding, The rooms and modern and comfortable with cozy feel to them. The staff was extremely welcoming and police to me and my fiancée. I have to mention the receptionist because he gave us the full experience but showing us to our room and explaining where all the facilities are and with times they are available till. He was very polite and made us feel so welcome. The food was amazing and fresh and there’s not one thing or part of this premier inn I can complaint about, would highly recommend this to all people, family and friends.

Clean accommodation, friendly staff and good food. Ideal for visiting NEC
Pros:

Although decor in some areas is beginning to look a little tired the accommodation was clean and comfortable. All of the staff, both at Premier Inn and The Beefeater were friendly, polite and efficient and the food both at breakfast and in the evening was good. Quite close to NEC and easy to find following Sat nav.

Hotel OK, needs a refresh
Pros:

Stayed at this Premier Inn the night after visiting lapland uk which is only 6 minutes away by car. Also a lovely longacres garden centre 2 mins drive away which was very festive.
Hotel was a great location. Felt clean but a little tired in places.
Breakfast was OK but nothing special, the restaurant which is the beefeater also felt a bit tired & grubby in places. That being said it was a great location for one night.

Absolutely awful
Pros:

Wouldn't stay here again very disappointed!
There was pubic hair in the sink
Human hair in the plughole of the bath/shower
Window that wouldn't close by where our daughter was sleeping she was freezing and the sill kept having pools of water on it our daughter ended up sleeping with us! There was an awful odour from the toilet everytime it was flushed!
The breakfast was awful pale bacon; slimy eggs and the sausages tasted strange!
My daughter is full of cold and my husband has a dodgy stomach
We stayed from the 14-16th November 2025!
No clean towels provided for two days
Oh and I also on two seperate occasions heard staff members talking badly about guests!!!

Perfect Lapland UK Base With Mattress From Heaven
Pros:

Stayed overnight to go to Lapland UK the next day along with some other families. The Christmas decs were out which was lovely. It was the bed that made it - it's true what they say about Premier Inn mattresses - I felt like I was being cradled by a giant cloud from the Land of Snooze. Life can never be the same again. No bed will ever be good enough. I need to buy one!!

The best place to stay In North Wales
Pros:

I unexpectedly needed accommodation late at night for my wife and myself, the lady on the desk went to extraordinary lengths to get us into a room. Fresh off the plane from Australia she used her own phone to get us booked in. The room was wonderful, clean spacious and the bed was divine. Breakfast was great in the restaurant next door. THANKS for your help and hospitality I would recommend this Premier inn to anyone.

Everything at this Premier Inn well up to expected standard. Staff helpful, room comfortable and very clean, parking included in price, even a corridor link to the separate restaurant (avoiding the dash in the rain). Full marks.

Does what it says on the tin
Pros:

Premier Inns are always very similar and this was no exception.

We had booked so we could go to NEC which is 10 minutes drive away.

Parking is free but you have to remember to register your car.

Receptionist was friendly. Room was clean and warm

Staff in adjoining restaurant didn't want to be there so we walked 15 minutes into town to find some lovely pubs and a devine Indian restaurant (Tamarind

Amazing staff and welcome. It's the little things....
Pros:

From the moment we arrived we couldn't find a fault with the hotel. The staff were so friendly and the service was great. It was lovely to still be greeted by a person on reception (and not a screen), but to then be further greeted with a hand written note welcoming us to the hotel in our room, its the little things that really count.
The room was clean and well equipped with all the standard tea, coffee, soaps etc you expect, but we also had an openable window and a fan (although the temperature was fine). The bed and bedding was so comfortable we all had an amazing nights sleep.
We used the beefeater next door for our evening meal and breakfast the food was of a good standard but again it was the welcome and the service that were second to none, everyone was so friendly and helpful, checking everything was ok for us and nothing was too much trouble for anyone.
