Guest Reviews

• johnhW1693CS (10/5): The best sleep AND the best reception ❤️ - We needed a good sleep the night before a funeral locally and couldn't have picked a better base. Aside from our large, comfortable and quiet room it was the lady on reception that made an average stay extra special. We have stayed in many hotels around the world and rarely received such a pleasant and thoughtful welcome. Yes the phone signal dips out a bit and the food options are Beefeater fayre but the beds are comfy, the wifi is good (and free), the rooms are spacious and quiet, and the reception staff are top quality. Thank you so much 🙏 Eddie had the best send off and your gift gave us a lovely treat for our onward journey ❤️
• johnluem (10/5): Great accomodation - I have just spent two nights at the Premier Inn Oban. The accomodation was great -- rooms were very clean throughout, the bedroom warm and cosy and the bed was extremely comfortable. Staff were wonderful, so kind and helpful and even helped me to find a taxi one morning when all taxis seemed extra busy. Food in the restaurant was fantastic ----- very well cooked and well presented. I enjoyed all the meals, particularly breakfast which was a buffet with such a wide variety of items. Thank you to all Staff.
• Susieb77 (10/5): Brilliant - Brilliant as always. I had a lovely sleep. The bed was amazing. The room was nice and warm. The building was quiet. Power shower fantastic. Staff so friendly. Exactly what I needed.
• N3462EHsue (10/5): Great stay - Had a great 6 nights. Room very clean and everywhere gave the impression that staff take a pride in their work. It was one of the best Premier Inns we have stayed. It was very cold weather, but there was no skimping on heating, it was very efficient! Staff very helpful. We didn’t eat there so can’t comment. Great location.
• Explorer36507303880 (10/5): Satisfactory value of stay - Nice View of the Building. Good size car park with marked bays. Parking is included with room reservation. Nice rasturant with good variety of morning breakfast. Griff house n Beaf eater also in the Building. Good seating areas. The reception desk was managed by KELLY with a welcoming smile and enthusiastic attitude. Explained to us how check/outin options works. Also Explained to us breakfast options etc. Highly recommended for future stay.
• dwaller2016 (10/5): Good option if you are north of Liverpool - Great hotel in the area! really friendly staff and nice room. Would be nice to have breakfast buffet rather than having to order hot breakfast, but what a minor niggle for what was a great hotel
• CleethorpesGtfcfan (8/5): Mostly good - Stayed here while mother in law was having house alterations Had two rooms.without exception all staff both in hotel and restaurant were very friendly.rooms while a little dark were very clean. One star lost becausevwifi kept dropping out and mobile phone signal non existent.This was difficult when we needed to be in touch with building contractors. That said this is one of the quietest hotels we have stayed in and probably the best premier inn we have visited
• GrandTour45789697404 (6/5): Bland, average, faceless. - Work booked me in here nothing special in truth. It's a bland corporate brand, nothing to either co.plain or get excited about. Plenty of fantastic, independent hotels and BandBs in Oban, consider them before contributing to a corporations profits.
• Trip780331 (4/5): Think twice! - We have stayed every year since the hotel opened. Firstly, parking has changed and is now chargeable. Beyond disgusted with reception. Arrived at 2.40. waited ten minutes til someone came out of the office. We said we were there for check-in, she said it wasnt open until 3pm. turned around and went back to the office. No restaurant/bar open so stood until the machine check-in opened. A guy came out as the one working machine malfunctioned and instead of helping us, checked in a family that had just arrived. Not a word was said until we were forced to wait for another family to check in, in order to find out how to pay parking. The room was ok for PI but one night for £149 with this experience was shocking. Think twice!
• 1966alisonw (2/5): Not wheelchair friendly! - First off i would like to say the staff were perfect they were friendly, polite and helpful. But , if you are a disabled traveller dont book here, there is no automatic door opening , which could prove difficult if you are travelling alone with a wheelchair. My sister had a room and myself and my mother booked into a accessible room (2) which had very little space to manover the wheelchair, the bathroom was not a wet room and the grab rails were held on with one screw instead of the three that should have been there! There is no wheelchair access from the resturant to the hotel, which meant that i had to take mum out in the cold dark rainy night to get from our meal to our bed. The hotel is very tired looking and could do with a lick of paint and some refurbishment. I did complain and Premier in gave me a part refund on the rooms, so that was nice. I definately wont be staying there again though!
• Y2182CUjanm (10/5): Weekend stay - Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Clean rooms, helpful staff, good dinner and breakfast. Reasonable car park fee £5 per 24hrs.
• Experience566368 (2/5): Not recommended. - There is a parcel drop box area in the car park of the hotel. The delivery driver woke me up at 02:45 banging about in his van. Loading and unloading parcels. I could not get back to sleep and woke very tired the next day. I reported this to reception and they advised I complain via the website. I did do this and requested a refund and this was denied. Premiere inn do not take responsibility for the external noise that woke me, although they are allowing this delivery service in there car park operating in all hours.
• 454kirstyl (10/5): 💜 It’s the little things that make a big difference 💜 - After a long day of travelling, we finally arrived at the Premier Inn around 11:30pm — tired, ready to drop, and honestly just hoping the check-in would be quick and smooth. To my surprise, Chris at reception greeted us with the warmest smile and had our key ready before we even asked. No stress, no waiting — just genuine kindness and thoughtfulness at the end of a long day. It might seem like a small thing, but in that moment, it meant so much. That simple act of care and efficiency made me feel truly welcome and reminded me how powerful great customer service can be. So thank you, Chris — for reminding me that sometimes, the biggest impact comes from the smallest gestures. 🌟
• Quinn (10/5): - Great location, safe and clean. Walked everywhere.
• John (8/5): - Parking was located directly behind the Hotel and very affordable. You can walk to numerous restaurants and bars with beautiful sites everywhere.
• Sherri (8/5): - The property was clean and close to a very good restaurant called the Waterfront Fishouse. My only complaint is that there are no water fountains to refill bottles and no access to ice
• 571moiram (10/5): Last minute - VERY PLEASANT STAFF , PREMIER INN WAS VERY GOOD ,LOVELY SPACIOUS ROOM & BED WAS VERY COMFORTABLE GOOD FOR PEOPLE WITH STRESS & ANGSIATY FEEL RELAXED THIS MORNING. HAD A REALLY GOOD SLEEP
• emmalbird111 (10/5): Good value hotel with comfortable beds - Friendly welcome to this Premier Inn. Standard room was fine, comfortable bed and good shower. Clean and good value, free parking and close to road links. Entrance is a little hidden, look for the signage! Breakfast was great, hot food cooked to order - just don't leave it too late on weekends or items will begin to run out. Would stay here again.
• Chris (6/5): Good stay but not helpful with a lost ID - Our stay was good. Breakfast was so good, with a huge selection of foods. Definitely recommend. Friendly staff. However, I thought I lost my ID at the hotel and it was very difficult to get in touch once I'd left. I tried to call but the phone rang and rang and no one answered on numerous tries. I called corporate and they told me to "send my friend in Oban to ask if it was there." I asked for corporate to give me the email of the location (not on the website) or or provide alternate phone number and they ignored my email. After another attempt they refused to help again. I never got in touch with the hotel.
• D4491ADsarar (10/5): All good - Wonderful welcome on arrival,very helpful staff. Room clean and the bed so comfy,breakfast was cooked perfectly and evening meal was very good too.
• Gillian (10/5): - Perfect location in Oban. Walking distance to restaurants, shops, the distillery and McCaig's Tower. Quiet and convenient with parking on-site and a nice hot breakfast to start the day
• Jennifer (8/5): Budget friendly, clean hotel - A true budget friendly hotel. I can’t say there was anything terrible. The rooms were a good size, the staff were helpful. They do have a machine so you can check yourself in, though I had trouble as it didn’t want to take my postal code and told me it was invalid. I would advise against adding the breakfast, there were plenty of other options including wetherspoons which is a chain restaurant that offer a Scottish breakfast for about £7.
• Dreamer12497796215 (10/5): Welcoming and friendly - Staff were the nicest and kindest team we have encountered in any premier inn. So supportive while we were dealing with a family bereavement. Exceeded our expectations. Hotel was clean. Best beds. Plenty of parking.
• KarenOT (8/5): Very happy stop over, with great full english breakfast and a chippy tea! - We always choose premier inn because I have never had a bad nights sleep and seeing as we had already clocked up 6.5 miles hiking in southport with a further 10 miles due on the Saturday we needed a good nights sleep! The receptionist was really welcoming on arrival and offered to sort out reservations for dinner and breakfast which we took her up on. The hallway on approach to our room smelt a bit damp but the room itself was perfectly fine, clean and above all the bed incredibly comfy. The restaurant and the hotel are both looking very used and tired and could do with a spruce up but I guess this doesnt get priority treatment as I dont think its a busy hotel. The food was excellent with us having fish and chips for dinner and a full english for breakfast. ALL the staff without exception were incredibly friendly and chatty and we would stay here again because of this. The price for us this time was reasonable at just £40 each for us both in one room, but of course quite pricey for our chum who was on her own at £80 odd quid. But this was a one off trip so we thought what the heck! Well done again Premier Inn, your staff here are a credit to you. Car parking was a doddle by the way, lots of spaces.
• sandrafZ5462DY (8/5): Solid Premier Inn for four day stay in Oban - Stayed four nights in this centrally located Premier Inn. The rooms are basic and clean - windows do not open which I prefer. As the norm with PI, the staff multi tasks so you need to search them out. Plenty to do and see in Oban and this hotel makes all journeys easy. Pay for parking! Breakfast is the usual so venture out to the ferry area for Wetherspoon large restaurant. Plenty of places for dinner. This is a good hotel for sleeping and showering. Good value.
• L6417VIdim (2/5): DISGUSTINGLY DIRTY - We were talked in to upgrading to a premier room with a view. As soon as we walked into the room we knew it was not clean. I spoke to the manager who insisted it was clean. She would not look at it and would not change it. Said there was nothing she could do—told me to contact customer relations. All of the customer relations addresses bounced back as invalid. I will NEVER STAY AT PREMIER INN again! Sleeping on the floor of the train station would be cleaner.
• tomrX4579QF (4/5): Shocked at the condition. - This was one of the worst hotels we’ve stayed in and definitely the worst Premier Inn I’d been to. Worn and tired and dust and hairs in the bathroom! Absolutely shocking. One positive was that staff were nice. Obviously management at serious fault. Didn’t know that there were places like this any more.
• J2012ZFdianew (2/5): Filthy! - The manager upsold a premium room with a view. When we entered the room, it was obvious it hadn’t been cleaned (droplets and hair on the toilet seat), toothpaste blobs on the wall, bleach stains on the carpet. The view consisted of train tracks and a barbed wire-enclosed lot. I went to the manager, who said the room was clean (but wouldn’t go look). She was unapologetic, saying there was nothing she could do and giving me a card with customer service contact info. The contact info on the card and on the Premier Inn website was invalid. I had to clean using the sanitizing wipes I had. I have stayed with Premier Inn several times in the past, but this will definitely be the last.
• Todd (10/5): - Great place to stay for the local vibe. The rooms were clean and spacious.
• mizliz_uk (8/5): Great hotel, great staff, great location, but expensive! - What started off as a nightmare experience was saved by staff when we were allocated the wrong room. I am disabled and requested an accessible room with a walk-in shower. On arrival we were given a standard room with a shower over a bath. We needed a twin with a double bed and a pull out bed, but there were none available so they couldn't swap us over. However the young man at reception, Lukas, worked hard to solve our issue and sourced a foldaway bed which he had placed into an adapted room and the situation was resolved, thanks to his dedication and quick thinking. The hotel itself is fairly new so still in pristine condition, spotlessly clean throughout and with very comfortable seats and beds. We didn't use the restaurant but it was always quite busy so seemed to be popular, and the food prices were very competitive for the area. Oban is an expensive town and this is reflected in the cost of everything, including the rate we paid for our stay at this hotel. We liked the hotel very much, and staff were all very friendly and helpful, but the total we paid for 5 nights was higher than anywhere else we travelled to during our break. The location of the hotel is good; just behind the train station, bus station and ferry port, with a step free route to get there (ideal for me in my wheelchair and using a mobility scooter). They have plenty of parking but we didn't use it so not sure if it is chargeable. I would definitely stay there again but maybe during off peak season where the rates are slightly more reasonable.
• Jan (10/5): - Everything thing was great.
• robertsT1838UO (8/5): - - Comfortable mattress, great location, and good price. We had a great time.We will definitely come back!See you soon🤗
• angelamacdonald100 (6/5): Clean, Quiet and Spacious Rooms - but the 'deal' on dinner and Kids Eat Free All Day is best avoided!! - The hotel is very clean and well maintained. The rooms are quiet and spacious and are well set out, with plenty amenities. There was, however, quite an unpleasant odour from the bathroom - probably drains. It would have been an excellent stay, had it not been for dining experience in the evening. Breakfast was great - but - the dinner - not so. Far from it. We both had chicken curry and rice and it seemed to be of a very 'boil in the bag' style - it was like a mass-produced heat-up microwave job - with about 4 small cubes of chicken. Sooo not good!! The signage for the Kids Eat Free All Day is a complete scam - they have free breakfast - which is fantastic - but dinner is a totally different story and I felt we were really conned. Information about 'extras' is in tiny print - which I could only have read with the strongest of microscopes - and you find that very little about the children's dinner IS actually free - not even a drink is free!! Though I can't fault the breakfast at all, I wouldn't take that inclusive 'deal' (breakfast & dinner) again. It is NOT a deal - and nor is the dinner of good - or even reasonable - quality. Disappointing!!
• stevenb832 (6/5): Compared to other Premier Inns, disappointing but great location. - Had booked early check in but was told we hadn't booked it so had to produced confirmation email. Our room had a door joining the room nextdoor which made for noise from the room nextdoor. Food was ok but found that booking the meal deal meant extra charges for meals like mixed starter that actually because there was hardly anything there was totally overpriced. If booking Oban again I'd eat at Wetherpoons just around the corner.
• 607francest (10/5): Excellent - Great experience easy check in staff very pleasant rooms spotless breakfast very good. Plenty tea coffee milk sugar at reception to take for room
• jimbZ6823QE (6/5): It’s ok but it’s slowly falling apart - Staff are great but it’s getting seriously down at heal. Would never dare to bring business visitors here at the moment. Not particularly clean either, come on Premier Inn you can do a lot better than this
• JoanneB3188 (6/5): Room needs refurb but exceptional staff service - Room not upto premier inn standard. However, Kelly and her team were friendly, warm welcome and excellent customer service. Good parking. Unfortunately room was not upto premier inn standard. Head office/area manager you need to refurb your rooms, you're letting your staff down. I was surprised that premier inn had slipped in their standards, as this is a busy hotel and great location, with beefeater onsite with ample parking. A staff member also crochet little keyrings rasing money for great Ormond street hospital. Lovely idea. We stayed in room 11. Chipped walls, marks on walls, stains on furniture upholstery, rusty window hinges, rusty bathroom soap dispenser.
• O21TEalanh (6/5): Nice Hotel.....Maybe Don't Expect The Red Carpet Treatment. - Lovely spacious room in the adjacent block......comfortable, clean & quiet. However, not the best of starts as the Receptionist's Customer Service skills needed improving.....not in uniform, no name badge, rather abrupt including no apology for keeping us waiting at the desk. NB: Shift change around 3pm, "Wendy" who took over was fab. Told by Pub Staff last orders were at 10pm (Close at 10:30pm) but by 9:30pm they were hoovering the floor, prior to that (9pm) informed that coffee should be taken now if required as the machine was to be turned off, certainly given that "We want to go home" feeling. Last to leave at 9:40pm with the door firmly locked behind us.
• alisonsH2819TE (10/5): Excellent stay - Excellent stay, very clean and welcoming. Staff went above and beyond, particularly Florentina and Tamara. Breakfast good too!
• Didris (8/5): Wonderful staff and a clean and tidy hotel - Don’t be put off by the outside of the main hotel or the restaurant - it looks very tired - however the main hotel building is very well cared for internally - it just looks a little uninviting from the outside. Rooms are very clean and tidy - usual PI standard with the new (very comfy) Silentnight beds. Reception staff were great and very professional and very polite. We were a large group celebrating our Mum’s 94th birthday and we had excellent service and a great nights sleep (double glazing was very good). Air con here is effective (and a blessing ) Restaurant next door was fine, though a little tlc around the decor is required. And again staff were excellent, we had server Jean who was very prompt and very attentive - thank you! The test is always “would we stop again “ and yes we would !
• Player101 (2/5): Rules be rules - "Unreasonable Hospitality". You should read it. But you can always start with offering some reasonable hospitality first. Don't try to charge customers £15 for checking in 20 minutes early when they've had a long journey and the room is very much available. Its a bad start and results in one star reviews while im sitting in the foyet waiting for 20 minutes. We'll eat somewhere else tonight and have breakfast somwehere else tomorrow now too. I know, I know - them rules be rules, eh? Well, first impressions be first impressions too, and you lost more than £15 by being unreasonable, in the wrong way.
• valj593 (10/5): Great Stay! - Lovely stay breakfast was amazing, Kelly on reception went above and beyond, we love coming here will definitely be back here again 😊
• Lorne (8/5): - Although we were beside a train station and ferry terminal there was no noise.
• Jonatan (8/5): Buena estancia - Muy bien situado. El hotel bastante limpio. El precio fue bastante elevado.
• X7767MMpdt (10/5): Great Stay and Wendy is so Welcoming - We returned to Ormskirk premier inn for a short break during the school holidays, it was lovely to get a happy welcome from Wendy who remembered us from last years stay. A real easy check in process and we had already pre-booked our breakfast times on Morris Dancers web page. Our room was lovely and clean the bed very comfy and the air con was much needed with the weather being a mini heat wave. Would really recommend this hotel it is really peaceful and the happy friendly staff especially Wendy make the stay hassle free.
• Scatty74 (8/5): Good hotel for the money - Well located, friendly staff, clean hotel and our rooms and bathrooms were clean. The overall place is tired and tatty and the rooms/bathrooms we had were too. Definitely cosmetic though. We had breakfast at the beefeater next door and that was excellent and the service in there was excellent too.
• aviemore (10/5): Good breakfast - Stopped in for breakfast as a walk in. Excellent choice on offer. Clean and staff very helpful. Good value for money. Will definitely return when next in Oban.
• Wanderer30076432292 (8/5): Great location. - I am a Premier Plus member and was allocated a room on Floor 3 the Premier Plus floor, but the room had none of the Premier Plus benefits experienced in other locations. I had checked in online, as requested by an email, but on arrival they receptionist could not retrieve the information and had to redo the whole procedure. Room temp control only gave very cold air, The location and car parking was very good though with everywhere in town being an easy walk.
• lindseyg897 (10/5): Does what it says on the tin! - The beauty of staying at a Premier Inn is that you know what you're going to get - comfortable bed, clean room, convenient location, and that's what we got. There were a couple of 'economies' I noticed - only one set of towels provided, but another was easily collected from reception, and you have to actually request housekeeping if staying 2+ nights, but that's no problem.
• XxHIGHLANDER (8/5): Nice & comfy - Having arrived at hotel check-in was quick and easy, room was clean and spacious. The food in the restaurant was very good and the breakfast was hot and tasty. Staff were efficient and friendly so all in all a pleasant stay
• N9217THleec (10/5): Excellent Front Desk Service - Excellent stay at the Premier Inn Oban. Exactly what you’d expect from a new/modern Premier Inn, but what made the difference was the excellent support from the Front Desk Manager (Brigitta). We had a couple of technical Susie’s with our room, and although there was no maintenance staff on duty, Brigitta dealt with this personally and also found us an alter I’ve room with a better view
• Y8864FSsarahr (10/5): Lovely hotel - Great location for graduation at Edge Hill University. Very friendly and helpful reception staff, giving us a warm welcome. The rooms are clean and spacious. We eat at the restaurant for evening meal and for breakfast. The food was good value. Would highly recommend this hotel.
• Angela (10/5): Oban Fun - The room was a generous size, very happy that Premier Inn is now on Hotels.com. The place was very clean, had plenty of parking, and decent selections for breakfast.
• 43maisiem (6/5): OK but not the best if you need to keep in touch with the outside world - Nice, basic Premier Inn. Great bed etc - BUT you can't get a phone signal in your room. You have to go out into the carpark! Internet also awful - couldn't work from here at all. No nice walks nearby either, and no shops. Nearest are 15 mins via car.
• Exmabs (8/5): This is a Modern World - Most Premier Inns get it right. Cheap, cheerful and comfy. It won’t be a a ‘5 Star’ experience however the simple things make life easy. The staff here are superb, Very helpful. Faultless. The rooms despite being basic, are airy, quiet and clean. Shower is great and the bed guarantees a decent nights kip. One epic fail though that has been flagged by many. The comms are appalling and there are no charging facilities in the rooms. Rectify that and you’re home and dry:
• F9050IEteresah (10/5): Are stay at Premier inn - Had a lovely stay .the rooms where clean and tidy .the staff where very nice and helped us move to a different room as i was in a wheelchair and the food at beefeater next door was 5 star. We really enjoyed our stay
• gavinl28 (10/5): Southport out of town 🤟 - The rooms are great Just fantastic bed shower bath what more do you want we have stayed here for the proximity to the church that my sister is buried and we can stay here knowing we gonna get value for money
• Odyssey24813895260 (4/5): Good location but shabby room. - Bad - room was shabby and cleanliness was poor. Snot on the wall, hair in the bathroom. Walls were shabby with holes and marks everywhere. Water pressure feeble and the cold water was warm leaving it undrinkable. A fan in the room would have been useful. Beer garden was full of rubbish, uncollected glasses. Good - reception/bar staff friendly, bed very comfortable, window you can open, convenient location.
• SummerSon2013 (10/5): Premier Inn on a site filled with history - The two nights I stayed at this hotel cost £36 and £45 respectively. The meal deal was I have based my review on the price I paid. Note that prices can be significantly more expensive. The meal deal was £27.99 a day, offering the full breakfast range and a choice of two courses in the evening. The hotel is quite unusual for Premier Inn. It is in the grounds of Griff House; once home to author George Elliot. The Beefeater restaurant occupies the house itself, some of it being the original building and some a more recent extension. Most of the accommodation is extended from this again, leaving to a sizable complex extending off the original Griff House. There are some leafy grounds to walk around and explore. Plenty of trees and grass. Some of it is car parking, but there is a playground for children and an old pond, too. The latter (pond) is becoming overgrown and no-longer accessible, but some old benches suggest that people were once able to walk around it. Perhaps at a time before Premier Inn owned the site. There are a few outbuildings that belonged to the original house. These are tucked away, have real character, but unfortunately are slowly falling into ruin. Adjacent to the main road, hidden behind trees are the remnants of old advertising boards; no longer visible from the road and completely abandoned. The remaining half of the estate now appears to be a farmer's field and has nothing to do with the hotel. Clearly there is plenty of history here, a once peaceful estate now sandwiched between two very noisy roads. I was initially allocated Room 8. I was not comfortable with this, due to it having an interlocking door to Room 7. The receptionist was very helpful and relocated me to Room 3. My new room was great. It overlooked a grassed area (Room 8 overlooked the car park and had some noise from the kitchen fans when the window was open). Room 3 was very quiet. The room was very clean and had a bath. I noticed some reviews mention dirty rooms or damp in the bathrooms. I had no problems with this at all. Perhaps it depends on the room. Certainly some rooms were much closer to the noisy kitchen fans. I am not 100% sure whether some rooms are directly above them. This would not be ideal at all and those customers have my sympathies. The restaurant, takes-up much of the old Griff House. It therefore has a charming character to it from the exterior. Inside is a standard theme pub, serving good quality food; at least in my experience. Both nights I had steak; which does require a slight additional fee, up to £5 depending on which type you choose. It was fantastic. The best steaks I have had in years. Interestingly on the second night, the portion was much bigger; i.e. more chips etc. The price was the same and it maybe depended on who was cooking. Breakfast was good quality. The cooked breakfast is plated-up on demand on not self-service. Guests can choose how many sausages and bacon strips they want. This means the food arrived hot, rather than being sat for a while as with some buffets. The staff were very friendly. The restrooms and the restaurant were both very clean and well cared for. Outside the pub is a lovely seating area with rope lights. Griff House gave it the feeling of staying somewhere independent, rather than a Premier Inn. I liked this and felt I was getting the best of both worlds. I can see why the hotel has had some bad reviews, however. If I was located near to the fans, or above the outdoor beer garden speaker, I would not be pleased at all. Also, dynamic pricing can cause massive variations in what people pay. Had I been paying £150 a night, my review would be far more critical. A great stay and I hope to return again.
• Navigate60585573975 (8/5): Clean and tidy but basic - Pillows ok. Bedroom was clean and tidy, but basic. It was a double room for 2 people but there was only one bath towel and hand towel so had to ask at reception for another set which i found quite annoying. Would have been nice to have a small fridge to keep drinks cool.
• 913simonm (10/5): 10/10 - Comfortable Room, accessibility room suited our needs. Staff were understanding and helpful, as a family we visited friends and the Hotel complimented our visit, place was clean and tidy and would definitely use it again parking was easy and disability spaces right next to the entance - Thank you.
• janicebB1795DG (10/5): Great service from reception staff. - Room, parking and service all very good, and reception staff were extremely kind in helping with a last minute arrangment for a family funeral. We had breakfast and evening meal in the pub next door, both very good quality. Good location, on main route between Southport and Ormskirk but set back from road meaning rooms are quiet.
• Y1162JWannes (2/5): Poor - I felt this place was very tired looking and a bit dirty. It was a nightmare to us as we booked 2 rooms for family and the stairs was so difficult for her to manage. Even the restaurant was very grubby could do with a good clean not the best experience I’ve ever had.
• paulasG2326KI (2/5): Absolutely grim ! - Booked for one night stay & have to say will not be returning! Reception staff extremely helpful & friendly on arrival. We had room 33 on second floor , room had had an awful smell , worse in bathroom. Tiny cramped room very drab & in need of major update , nothing like the standard of previous premier inns we have stayed in. The one & only positive to this stay was a comfortable bed. The restaurant for breakfast was dimly lit & has very dark decor, very tired & worn soft furnishings, tables were sticky , worn out dated carpet that needed a good hoover, in-fact whole place needs a revamp ! Breakfast was passable just , although obviously not ingredients of a high standard.
• TGR2014 (10/5): Breakfast is superb - They do the best breakfast. Food perfectly cooked and good quality. I have been visiting this hotel for years now. So I always get a warm friendly welcome from Linda. She is in complete control and always very busy. By far the best service. I am always in at 6:30 and it's the only premier inn I stay at that's actually ready to serve at that time. A great start to my day. Well done Linda and great job Mr chef.
• WarleyTowers (10/5): Welcoming friendly staff - Great PI located between Southport and Ormskirk. Clean comfortable and spacious rooms. Lovely friendly staff. Thank you Jennifer & Janet for the friendliest PI welcome ever! Easy to find and while right off the main road, very quiet at night.. Plenty of parking
• drag0ngwyn (8/5): Overall ok but overpriced for the room standard - The beds are too small but the staff are friendly and helpful. The food is adequate for a group pub but again lovely staff. The hotel overpriced for the room size and facilities, it was clean and tidy and in pleasant surroundings. I shall now just put anything down as it insists on 200 words and I've said all there is to say!
• michellelC2802QH (4/5): Wouldn't stay here again !! - Great experience at check in very friendly, and the Beefeater next door was one of the best, but that's the positives over. A very run down hotel in need of a lick of paint and revamp. One of the worse rooms I have ever stayed in, mould, stains all over paint work, hairs in bath, and a room not hoovered. Complained, and still not done for the 2nd night. I don't agree very often with leaving a poor review, but thought I should, as if its between this hotel and another, don't book here.
• emmsiecat (10/5): Perfect accommodation for a family visit in the Midlands - Perfectly located hotel for visiting family in Nuneaton. Really pleased with the price paid for two nights during Easter holidays. Our family room was quiet, clean and comfortable. Would highly recommend if you are looking for a base in the Midlands.
• Vacation28188872356 (10/5): Fabulous experience. - Staff were fantastic. Nothing was to much trouble. They looked after us from our arrival to our departure. Well done all. We will definitely be using the hotel again. Easy access and large car park. Beefeater restaurant at the hotel. Good food and real ales.
