I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The room was spacious and clean, but it got uncomfortably hot during the night. The facilities were decent, but the breakfast was really disappointing. The nearby pub offered a better dining experience, which was a positive. Overall, while there were some nice aspects, I wouldn't say it was the best stay.

I had a mixed experience at the hotel. On the plus side, the rooms were clean and spacious, and the staff were generally helpful during my stay. However, I faced some issues with the service regarding room requests, and the breakfast at the nearby restaurant was quite unsatisfactory. Overall, it had its strengths, but there were a few hiccups that made my stay less enjoyable.

The stay had its ups and downs. The location was a bit tricky to find and the breakfast was really disappointing. However, the staff was quite helpful, and the room was up to the usual Premier Inn standard. Despite the issues we faced, it was reasonably affordable, but I wouldn't choose this place again.

I had a pleasant stay overall with some highlights and a few areas for improvement. The room was spacious and comfortable, perfect for my family, especially with a super king bed and two singles. However, there were some hiccups with service, particularly during check-in. The location felt conveniently close to attractions, but dining options could use some enhancement.
