Can you sleep with a loud irritating noise in the background?
Location-good
Price- good, apart from the breakfast which is a rip off, loads of better places to get breakfast.
Reception staff-generally unhelpful,
The thing which was the most annoying was they offer a 'good night sleep guarantee', but when we rang reception at 3am to check out the constant fan noise it took them over an hour and another phone call to come to the room to check it out only to be told there was nothing they could do. Oh and there were no more rooms were available, so we spent the rest of the morning awake-not very good for a goos night sleep. It turns out that over half of the rooms have the same buzzing noise all night long, so if you can sleep through that then you should book the premier inn! I would rather have slept on the streets, as it would've been quieter!

Further, the staff were delightful. On entering the restaurant I was warmly greeted and introduced to the staff by name. The reception staff had excellent manners. I was even greeted in the corridor by a member of staff who introduced himse...Read more
