"Weekend break"

Excellent location but poor WiFi and not spotlessly clean room upon arrival. Asked for room to be cleaned next morning but when came back it wasn’t done. Staff apologised but didn’t seem too concerned. Window didn’t open and AC was weak, therefore room was stuffy and smelly. Was quite expensive too so a bit disappointed. Been to many other Premier inns and this one isn’t in my top 5. As I said though, really good location opposite castle

"Bad WiFi"

£250 a night, had absolutely terrible WiFi, would expect better for this sort of money………………..sort it out premier inn, can’t even look at face book, I shouldn’t have to pay for premium WiFi when I’ve already paid £250 ………………………………………………….
