Guest Reviews
- anthonybX1841ZB (8/5): good clean economical hotel - nice clean new hotel, didnt like the auto check in but will get used to it. bath was quite a step in and out of to get to shower. those with mobility issues might find using showers harder. breakfast was ok
- krisho2025 (10/5): Good stay recommended. - Good location, very clean. Nice relaxing atmosphere, the room was a good size and was clean, had extra pillows already in the room and the staff were so friendly! Especially Emma on front of house she was here there and everywhere! Being attentive on reception to helping guests to tables at breakfast nothing was too much for her! She went above and beyond.
- 875leew (10/5): mr lee white - Emma was very attentitive and went above and beyond . very rare in this type of buisness. a reall asset
Always polite and respectful
- annameliaf2025 (10/5): Good hotel - faultless, genuinely. my experience of premier inns through the years has been turbulent to say the least. I was greeted well on arrival and then remained consistently spoken too throughout the stay. The food was fantastic and the waiting staff were courteous. Couldn’t make a complaint even if I tried
- N3017CKjamese (10/5): Wonderful Support During Emergency Stay - My wife stayed in this hotel recently whilst I was hospitalised in Darlington after an accident.
This was the first time in a very long time that she has had to navigate staying away from home in a strange town without my company.
We cannot thank the staff at this hotel enough for their wonderful, helpful attitude which was enormously appreciated at a very stressful time.
On booking in my wife was allocated a second floor room. When she explained i had broken my leg and it was possible I might need to join her for a night before attempting the journey home to Norfolk hotel staff were happy to rearrange things so she had a ground floor family room with additional bed. They even made sure additional pillows were in the room in case I needed any to support my leg.
My wife ended up staying at the hotel for 4 nights. She was helped along the way by Paul, Ant, Christine, Tracy and Angela. All of these staff members showed her wonderful support from working out how to use your app, making bookings for further nights, restaurant bookings and refunds for nights not needed.
The hotel itself was clean and tidy and everything you would hope for from a budget hotel.
The food and service in the adjoining Beefeater Restaurant was also just what my wife needed as a lone diner.
We cannot overstate how thankful we are to the wonderful people who work at this hotel. You made a big difference. Thank you.
- alisonhS4619FQ (10/5): Brilliant family stay for 10! - Brilliant stay at the Premier Inn Morton Park for 10, lovely welcome from Angela who got us checked in, great rooms, clean, fresh and a lovely night sleep. Big shout out to Dan and Sam who served us in the bar and at breakfast including fabulous gluten-free/coeliac options. A great trip and lovely experience, thank you :)
- T2313HMianm (10/5): Outstanding - I cannot recommend enough, the staff couldn't do enough for you warm and friendly and especially 'Alex' from the Thyme Restaurant, absolutely lovey lady and THANK YOU ENOUGH 'ALEX'

- 613loist (10/5): Big comfy bed, clean & lovely Tracy! - Stayed for one night, checked in and out with Tracy. She was very friendly and made everything super easy. Slept so well, lovely big bath and big comfy bed! Thank you for having me.
- marcushA330RL (10/5): Angela - I'm back after a 4 month break and would just like to say thank you to Angela, always welcoming and a fab receptionist, thank you 😊
- NigelAlisonJnJ (10/5): Excellent receptionist - I would like to single out Tracy for her helpful cheerful input today. She was clearly having a difficult time with the new key cards failing. However that didn't stop her being cheerful and dealing with the crowds in a professional manner
Tracy so made some. Excellent suggestions for Hopetown and the brick train sculpture which we will do tomorrow.
Absolutely pleasure to deal with
- samcA3541VH (10/5): Excellent - Excellent location and lovely hotel, great value for money, just needed a smart tv is all I would like to add, would have made a huge difference being in the room.woth two small children.
- jeanettea773 (10/5): Good Value for Money - Excellent value for money. Hotel a little 'tired' but clean, plenty of parking and plenty of selection at breakfast. Staff friendly and helpful.
- 158gillh (6/5): It was ok - First of all I would like to say the staff are very nice and helpful but the rooms are tired . One thing no charging point in room so remember charger. No toilet brush to clean loo. It was ok but iv stayed in better tbh
- Z1641YDhannaht (10/5): Highly recommend! - We had a great stay at Premier Inn Morton Park. We stayed for 3 nights 24th-27th Oct, 2025. Booked in advance a couple of months ago at £112.00. Great price.
Upon arrival we were greeted by friendly staff who guided us through the check in kiosks. The room itself was clean and had everything as expected. It was front facing to the carpark and main road, but you cannot hear cars at night which was great.
Unfortunately we experienced some noise disturbance on the first night, someone banging on the doors down our corridor and our door. Spoke to a lovely man on reception whose name I unfortunately didn’t catch! (Bald, tattoos). He was apologetic, explained that all families had been moved to the other end of the hotel as there were several complaints about loud footsteps. We received free complimentary breakfast for the Sunday and Monday of our stay which was a very kind gesture.
Sunday morning our bathtub accidentally overflowed. Anthony on the reception was very understanding about it and provided us with more towels to clean up as well as booking housekeeping to come and replace the towels. He was always present on reception saying good morning to guests and checking they were ok. Thank you Anthony!
Fabulous sleep (other than the disturbances on the first night), such a comfy bed and quiet nights.
Breakfast was fab, lovely staff in there, too. And thank you for providing decaf tea bags!
Highly recommend!
- Bebside (8/5): Cheap price and convenient location - Overall the stay was pleasant enough. The staff were extremely friendly and efficient. The price was very fair as the rooms were tired and could do with updating. Breakfast was managed very efficiently and the hotel was in a convenient position on the edge of a small retail park.
- T6806ARjamesd (8/5): Lovely stay - First time at this Premier Inn & we weren't disappointed. The staff were very helpful & the room clean & quiet. If in the area again I would definitely book this hotel again
- MarkG301266 (2/5): Would never stay here again. Poor air quality in room! - I would not stay here again! Stayed last day of August and wasn't reslly that hot nut rooms were very stuffy. No AC which ok is mentioned but window sticker says there is a constant fkiw of fresh air. Clearly not the case as we had an Air Quality Monitor that showed high levels!
Called out night porter to room as internal extractor fan not working. He was very rude and not very helpful and didn't improve anything in the room.
Complained to reception in the morning but no manager available and was given incorrect email so contaced Guest Relations...
The Good Night Guarantee is a complete waste of time as they constantly argued I was not entitled to a full refund without full justification as to their reasons.
- tenikak2025 (8/5): Lovely stay - Had a lovely stay here while attending a friends wedding. Rooms were spacious and cosy. Tracey in reception was friendly and very welcoming, a credit to the hotel.
- M9468FBkais (10/5): Great nights sleep! - One of the best nights sleep we have had in a Premier Inn. We were concerned we would hear outside noises being on the middle of town and right by a big cinema, but we didn't hear a thing! This hotel was clean and tidy, rooms were a great size, staff were friendly and very helpful. The restaurant deals with allergies without missing a beat and with such ease!
- U2062ENbrianw (10/5): We use this Premier Inn again - Room was clean and comfortable, friendly staff.
Shower could be stronger.
Food very good ,the haddock and chips was especially so.
Would we go to this Premier Inn again. YES !
- DaleTownson (10/5): Exceptional value for money - The room was clean and extremely comfortable. The bathroom was spotless and everything worked.
On arrival we were greeted by Anthony who was very professional and friendly. Throughout our whole stay he was there and helped with a couple of queries which we had, always with a pleasant stay.
We enjoyed the stayed and it was exceptional value for money.
- Wilmer (10/5): - Friendly stuff.
- 239tonyl (8/5): Good accommodation - below average food and bar - Premier Inn Staff were amazing.
The pub/ food/ bar was OK. Always seemed short staffed and there always seemed to be people queuing/ complaining! We went one night and left due the the wait and complaints!!
- emilybI96DD (10/5): great hotel and staff. - after reading the previous reviews i was in two minds if i was going to book here but so glad i did. This was my second visit and both times have been amazing. Hotel is great, the staff are incredibly helpful and can’t do enough to help you. great location. can’t wait to come back again next month. Keep up the good work! xx
- ToonFan73 (10/5): Perfect overnight stay - Lovely stay, could not fault it, perfect sleep in a super comfy bed.
Everything perfect.
Superb breakfast in the morning, we will be back in December
- Trip47753148370 (10/5): Great stay - We stayed for two nights with our granddaughter. Service excellent as ever at Premier Inns. The service at the Beefeater was superb; staff welcoming and couldn’t too much to help. Daniel was especially helpful.
- jks987 (8/5): Nice quiet hotel, just difficult to locate. - Hotel was very good, clean and comfortable. The staff polite and helpful.
The staff in the dining area were also helpful and polite and very happy with the meals we had there.
The only issue we had was trying to find it in the dark as the signage is not very good, you have to drive to KFC then take the turning which looks like an industrial road turning, then struggle to find the way to the car park. Apart from that it’s nice and quiet.
- I310RKpeterb (10/5): very pleasant visit - lovely comfy bed, good food, excellent staff, very helpful, both in reception and the bar & restaurant, a very pleasant experience .................................
- lainey12321 (10/5): Great - Great location, spacious rooms. Welcoming staff. Great service from Tracy! She's a real treasure. Clean and comfy. Good facilities.
- noelcC8635TI (8/5): Pleasant Stay - We got to the hotel on Sunday eventing for a 2 night stay Tracey was in reception and she was very pleasant and helpful
The room was clean the beds were very comfortable I had 2 good nights sleep
- patriciagN9824ZR (10/5): Wonderful stay, great staff! - Wonderful stay! Beds fabulous as usual, staff were super friendly and welcoming, both in the hotel and the restaurant next door. Loved the shower. Overall, a great weekend.
- richarddalley (8/5): Overnight stay - That was the issue there were virtually no staff present on my arrival at 4pm.
When I arrived The single staff member was dealing with a queue of people and two elderly couples were attempting to deal with the electronic process but failing miserably.
I logged in electronically and gained access to my room without speaking to anyone .
A truly awful experience but I suppose it cut costs and saved the company money .
I would not use this hotel again .
.
- Finley0T (8/5): Good Hotel - Good hotel with lots of room choices. Centrally located. With a restaurant and bar on the side. With a fast easy check in process.
- 484clym (10/5): Amazing - Very friendly staff very nice and clean stayed here 5 times now and we're be going back again soon kids love it very clean the staff are friendly and make U feel welcome
- MrsLesleyR-J (10/5): Great service - Excellent service by Brandon (duty manager), Chloe (front of house) on the evening of 17th September and the morning staff member Alex on 18th September.
All staff were a credit to Premier Inn by their professionalism and helpfulness.
Thank you.
- B2842ZQbillk (6/5): Poor check in - Always held up signing in with a multitude of questions .i hav e30 years serve now retired ans i am always made to feel as I’m trying to get a false discount
- C1915GFjoanr (10/5): Over and beyond - I was attending my mother's funeral and all the staff were excellent from the moment I arrived making me tea and letting me get ready to go to the chapel of rest even though it was hours before booking in time i was able to get ready and leave my bags
The also helped with getting me a plaster
I also got booked in early with no hassle
- duffusdave (10/5): Comfortable and very clean room. Helpful staff. f. - Excellent stay, very clean and comfortable room. Over the years and several stays, the standards have been maintained.
- richarddN7663DN (8/5): A good and very typical Premier Inn stay - All was up to the expected standard. We travelled by rail and the hotel is conveniently placed for Darlington rail station.
We would prefer to see a larger evening meal and snack menu, but there were plenty of places in the adjacent town centre.
- B5894TTalanp (10/5): Excellent hotel. - Extremely clean, well equipped, comfy room in a well positioned hotel close to the railway station.
Staff were very helpful and friendly and the cooked breakfast was delicious.
- paulgA7236CV (4/5): Arrived on Sunday eve at 7:15 after a 3 hr travel, no food, no explanation & staff had no idea where I could go for food - Poor………no food at 7:15 on sunday evening !!, no explanation or sorry, couldn’t even advise where to go for local food, (thank god for a helpfull customer)
- Y6586JWjuliah (10/5): Friendly and welcoming - Stayed here for a wedding nearby so location brilliant. Travelled from the south of England and were blown away by the happiness of the staff. Such a refreshing change from what we are used to. Emma on reception, Jade in the bar and Daz in the restaurant were all amazingly happy and helpful.
- Stella201333 (8/5): Would stay again - Stayed here for a Tournament taking place next door. Self checked in the first night, room was clean, a bit tired.
Needed to stay another day and booked online but the room took almost an hour to get ready when we went to check in. Seems a bit silly that your otherwise charged to check-in/out early or late but it's okay to be kept waiting if the room isn't ready after 3 p.m. Overall, great location.
- venetiaknight (10/5): Welcoming staff, top stay - Excellent, friendly service. Room as you would expect of a premier inn. Would definitely stay again if went to Derby. Very peaceful, and quality bed.
- sp19702014 (10/5): One of the best Premier Inns - One of the best premier inns I’ve stayed at. Immaculately clean throughout. Very comfortable rooms and very friendly staff. Had the meal deal which was 2 course evening meal and breakfast which was very good value and tasty.
When we arrived we were greeted with a lovely lady Abi on reception who was very friendly and helpful. The other girl who I cannot remember the name of (young, long ginger hair) was also so helpful and friendly
- SRC105 (4/5): Terrible disturbed sleep - Woken up on three separate occasions between 2am and 3am by false fire alarms (as confirmed by the hotel staff the following morning). I struggled to get back to sleep after the third disturbance.
The Premier Inn lady was very apologetic at check-out and she advised that the disturbances had been logged at the hotel then gave me a Premier Inn card to scan and advised me how to claim a refund under the Premier Inn Good Night Guarantee by posting a review on either TripAdvisor or Google.
So, I now wait to see if the Premier Inn Good Night Guarantee is as good as they make out.
Shame as the disturbances of my sleep spoilt what was otherwise a good stay with excellent helpful staff.
- clairefsheff1 (10/5): Excellent Staff - Stayed here for work. Staff were excellent and extremely helpful. Ensured I booked breakfast and dinner tables when checking in and thoroughly enjoyed my stay thank you xx
- peekaboo123uk (4/5): Never use this one again - Pillow case with holes,in seen better days sheet had bobbles on.no clean towels 2 day,stay bins not empty when I asked why I was shown to a poster that said I need to tell reception, there was no
One on reception when I went out at 7 am
Hot water in bathroom couldn’t be adjusted to make it warm, be careful scolding room 109 parking £10 per 24 hours
Breakfast good. Staff do not want to engage with anyone
- Wander43288177471 (8/5): A memorable stay in Derby for all the good reasons - Although the hotel is a bit dated, the team makes up for it; especially Emma and Weronika, who made us feel very welcome and helped us with room changes; nothing was too much. Also the adjoining Oast House had very friendly and helpful staff. All in all it made our stay. Thank you all very much
- 610janeo (10/5): Premier Inn is a family win - All my rather large family stayed. Our rooms were together and the staff were brilliant. I have a lot of kids and they were great with them. Breakie was fab, something for everyone especially for my picky eaters. WIFI isn't the best but everything else was fab.
- YoungDude1999 (2/5): Inflexible attitude - I have really had it with Premier Inn and as a brand gave them one more chance and they let me down
The are totally inflexible at this motel with check in time and place was empty,want £15 extra to check in 90 mins early which I declined and sat in reception
- davidlO1140BB (10/5): Stars are staff of a wondrous hotel - This must be one of best Premier Inns.
It is bright and clean with outstanding staff. Room was splendid. Parking next to hotel is so handy. You have to pay yourself as not part of hotel but physically attached. Ring go app is handy but cash or card can be used. I booked max 24 hours and used app to extend this as necessary.
Food was good and well served. In factor Ali and Alex or served us were superb. They are the stars of this hotel. Can’t praise and thank you enough. Tips on making a visit to York were much appreciated. The chefs do well too.
The buses and shops plus Vue cinema are close as is a bar/pub. 5 mins up the hill is a rail station with frequent trains to York, Durham and Newcastle plus other places too. Auckland Castle at Bishop Auckland is worth a visit. By car lots to see.
So thank you Darlington Premier Inn.
- lindatY2589KL (10/5): Home from home! - Excellent service and accommodation. Very friendly and competent staff. Enjoyable, good quality, and great value meals. Especially the early meal specials and the meal deal, which includes 2 course dinner, drink and breakfast. I was made to feel very welcome. Would fully recommend!
- D0ve74 (10/5): Exceptional staff, particularly Emma - We really enjoyed our stay at this Premier Inn. It was comfortable with a lovely restaurant. The evening meal was tasty and breakfast freshly cooked. The staff, in particular Emma at breakfast made our experience exceptional. Emma’s commitment to customer service was unwavering and she is a credit to Premier Inn.
- grahamtS7533RF (10/5): Good hotel - An all round standard hotel that gave me and the family everything we needed for an overnight stay. Breakfast staff good in the morning and the hotel reception team friendly. Would stay here again. My only gripe would be that it’s in a rough area that’s quite intimidating as a family of 4
- TheBaronOne (10/5): Nice stay - Make your own review on breakfast! - As usual, friendly helpful staff, nice clean room, comfortable bed. The only bit of a gripe, which applies across the board in all PremInns, is the breakfast choice. £10:99 for full breakfast is reasonable value, £8.99 for continental okay ish, but why isn't there a 3rd option for just toast at circa £3/4:99? I, like many, don't want a big breakfast, just sufficient to take my tablets ;))
- melissab191 (4/5): Chemical smell - Stayed for 1 night as a single traveller.
Parking conveniently attached to the hotel but privately run and no discount for hotel guests.
Initially I was happy with the room. I was put in an accessibility room although I didn’t need it. The room had a very old “chemical” smell which as the night went on, seemed to get worse. I felt sick during the night and the next day had an awful head ache. My clothing even the next evening smelt of the chemical. To add to this there was a humming sound all night which did not go away. It almost sounded like an air conditioning unit which would turn off. The bed was comfortable but in terms of size not long enough. I am only 5 foot 6 but found the bed too short.
Sadly I won’t be retuning based on my experience.
- LeeH1356 (10/5): My home from home in Derby - Very comfortable bed, fair sized rooms, no issues parking and friendly staff. Very unassuming, does what it says on the tin which is exactly what i wanted! Good location served by 2 main routes from M1 Which was ever so useful coming up from Essex
- Connector02873590368 (10/5): Another Adventure - Premier Inn is generally my first choice when looking for accommodation, as they offer good value. In addition to individual breaks twice a year we go away with friends (7of us in 4 rooms) and always choose Premier Inn as it allows good accommodation with the benefit of booking a table for 7 for breakfast and dinner.
- summersmummie (10/5): Regular customer - Amazing emma s is fantastic amazing staff always helpful Emma s has helped me through alot when I was going through a lot helped me rearrange my booking always lovely to see the staff has they know me and they know I'd i no any extra items in room they fetch it for me or uts already in room for me
- 177gillg (10/5): Great room and good value for money - Clean tidy and neat exactly as one expects from a Premier Inn. Breakfast was a little tired and not the freshest pastries to be honest, overall the staff were very friendly and helpful. The room was excellent value for money, the breakfast not quite good value for money.
