Basic budget chain. Variation in rooms.
Some rooms are better than others. I’d recommend you request a recently refurbished quiet one away from the talking lifts.

3 night stay with my daughter so we could commute into London for Ideal home exhibition and England women v USA at Wembley.
Good location next to rail station and view over the canal. Staff were very friendly and helpful on check-in and with advice regarding travel. Plenty choice at breakfast and replenished quickly.
Room was warm and clean. All in all great stay and would return.

Excellent stay
Extremely friendly staff a quick check in with all information needed given. Helpful advice about places nearby.
The only down side and it was ok was the narrowness of the duvets on a single bed but that is being a bit picky and did give us a giggle!!! As we are larger it looked like we had been given a size 10-12 but needed an 18 plus!!!! We slept well though as very comfy beds. We always use premier inn as you know what you get but we are SO glad we took a chance here…. MUCH nicer! Thank you

Good budget hotel.
Nothing to complain about but nothing magical or special either. Good budget basic accommodation. You always know what you’re going to get. Breakfast comes included, which is getting less common at this price range.
