Excellent
Pros:

It is the best premier inn I have ever stayed in. The lady with fair hair and the gentleman who were in reception on Saturday and Sunday evening (22-23/11) were so friendly. Nothing was too much trouble for them. The rooms were comfortable and very clean. The location could not have been better. I was very impressed and very happy with everything.

Altering My Booking
Pros:

Raji was fantastic. I needed to alter my booking for a business trip and she was so polite and helpful and I was able to get full refund on the booking that I no longer needed. What a star!

Handy central location and lovely staff
Pros:

Ideal location so close to Birmingham New Street Station and the Priory Rooms where my meeting was being held. I had a gorgeous view over the Christmas Market which helped me feel right at home. The hotel room was clean, the bed comfortable, a bath plus powerful shower and there was even a small Christmassy pin badge left to 'get you in the spirit' - a very nice touch.

When I arrived, sadly one of the staff members, (I think called Pauline), was handling a very difficult customer who was kicking up a fuss about the check-in machines being broken and a small (but fixable) admin error that had occurred. Pauline remained professional, reminding the customer that no one comes to work to be shouted at and also proceeded to check me in efficiently and kindly. I wish Pauline well and hope her hard work and professionalism is recognised - and that she is aware of the multiple other customers who are grateful for her.

To all other customers, who may stay at this Premier Inn or not, I urge everyone to be kind and maintain perspective. There are a lot of things wrong with this world, but a minor check-in delay is not even in my top 100.

Basic hotel, terrible WiFi
Pros:

Premier Inn needs to step up. There have been no real upgrades to this brand in years. Offering free WiFi at 1 Mbps is a joke in the modern world. Breakfast was good and the pub next door offered standard average food but at a reasonable price.

Storing bag for medical purposes in freezer
Pros:

Very good overall
Only gripe is I have medication which has to be stored in fridge which was provided
However I need to freeze pouch to put in cooler bag to take medication home
Luckily I had a friend who lived locally to store it in freezer
I have stayed at many hotels and they all have freezers available to store the pouch and I was dismayed to hear that this hotel had hasn’t even heard of this and refused to store it in freezer as it may contaminate food
I thought a clean plastic bag would resolve this but they would not budge

Perfect city centre stay
Pros:

Stayed here after a night out in Birmingham.

Perfect location with loads of nearby bars. I had an internal room and didn't hear any noise at all during the night.

5 minutes walk to New Street Station and 5 minutes walk to the nearest carpark (I got the train, my friend drove)

Easy quick check in. Friendly staff. I was given a free bottle of water in the morning from reception as the vending machine in the lobby only accepted card payments and I only had cash.

Everything a Premier Inn should be.

BEST STAFF - SERVICE SUPPORT 5***** plus.
Pros:

Staff are the best, friendly and helpful, sharing vouchers for free drinks and discounts for bar next door. We lost our home keys and Rajj helped get them sent to our home. The team are absolute stars. We always stay in a prem. Inn, so we will be back. Excellent location of Waterloo one, too.

Does what it says …
Pros:

Stayed here for 1 night as going to a show in Blackpool & didn’t want to stay in town. Know the area as have friends live St Anne’s so knew proximity to Starr Gate for trams. Good option as free parking which wasn’t the car for other options. Immediate area a little run down & this isn’t one of newer modernised Inns but it was clean, functional & reception on check in & check out both lovely ladies. Very quiet so had a great sleep. Avoid the pub next door … only nipped in for drinks but it needed a good clean & staff who could be bothered!

Great hotel
Pros:

We had a lovely experience. We had paid for early check in and were warmly greeted. Plenty of car park spaces. Our room was spotlessly clean, warm and comfortable. The bed was amazing with plenty of extra bedding if we needed it. Good shower and good size bathroom. Not far from the bus stop and tram station so good access to Blackpool. Very quiet just what we needed

Tina
Pros:

Me and my partner come to this hotel every month for her uni and we had no problem at all and always have done late out but this time reception team ( Tina ) said she had been here for 10 years and they had never done late out in this hotel that just baffled me .why would you lie to a paying customer like that i work in hotel myself and to be able to lie to guests like that so that makes her job easier is not good for the company .when i challenged her she started to change her answer to oh because we have early in. I told her every company does early in/late out she said not with premier inn. This is the last time we will be using your service Thank you

A great stay!
Pros:

All staff we met were polite and friendly. Check in was very quick and we got rooms opposite each other as requested (family of 4 adults). Rooms very clean, up to Premier Inn's usual very high standard. One room was on the airport side of the hotel, first floor (no lift) and we heard very little noise at all, only the occasional sound of the air ambulance helicopter being started up in the morning, which didn't worry us at all. View was of the airfield, no planes taking off at all, just the helicopter. Unfortunately we found on the first day that one of the panels beside the bed wasn't working (reading light, phone charger usb socket) so I reported it straight away, it wasn't fixed at all during our stay, despite reporting it every day that week. Being disabled, it would have helped to have a light beside the bed instead of having to use my phone light. Our second room was facing the front and was quiet, only a bit of traffic noise which didn't worry us. This Premier Inn is in a good location, with a Morrisons about 5 minutes drive away, where we had breakfast 3 out of the 4 mornings we were there. 4th morning we had breakfast at the Premier Inn, this was very good with plenty of choice.
