Premier Lodge, Preston North

Advantages: Large Bed and Cheap
Disadvantages: No take away facilities

...After searching for a place to stay near to Blackpool, at a reasonable price, I came across this Lodge. At £45.95 per night for the room ( can be higher) I thought great. Premier Lodge has recently joined forces with Travel Inn, and is now known as Premier Travel Inn. They have a saying 'Spend a Night, Not a Fortune'. I booked via the internet, unfortunately the date clicked back tot he day I was working on as i had scrolled down using my mouse roller. I was off to work and hadn't had a chance to check my email confirmation. Thankfully, the girls realised my mistake and rang me the next day and asked which day it was for really - I had put down that I would arrive by late afternoon, and considering that I would have to travel 5 hours to get there it was easy to see it as a mistake - thanks to the girls I was not charged an extra...

Review of Premier Travel Inn Preston - North, Preston

Premier Inn Mere - Quiet and Comfortable

Advantages: Clean, very comfortable rooms, affordable, friendly staff,peaceful location
Disadvantages: Car is needed

...We stayed in this Premier Inn, which is attached to the Kilton Inn on a Saturday night. Our stay was extremely comfortable and pleasant. Rooms We stayed in a double room on the ground floor. The rooms are decorated to a modern and good standard. In our room we had, a kettle, hairdryer, TV, heating controls, desk, bedside tables, chair, and a huge and very comfortable double bed. The linen and towels were plentiful and extremely clean. The bathroom was very basic, but everything that was needed was there. The layout of the bathroom could have been improved, with the toilet roll holder being on the opposite side of the bathroom to the toilet. The soap in the dispenser, took a lot of work to get out and once out was foamy and disappeared rather than lathered up in your hands. Apart from these minor issues, the room was...

Review of Premier Travel Inn Knutsford - North West, Knutsford

Premier Inn - clean and comfy at a realistic price

Advantages: Easy to book, manned 24 hours.
Disadvantages: Have to walk next door for breakfast

...Premier Inn - Macclesfield North. I recently went to a wedding at Adlington Hall and stayed at the Premier Inn at Tytherington. I knew the type of accommodation available, as I have stayed in a number of their establishments over the years. Firstly, I booked the accommodation required over the internet. This was very easy to do you just put in the name of the place you want to stay and the dates and they will tell you of the availabilty. You then simply follow the instructions on screen. If the hotel you have chosen has not got the accommodation required, it gives you alternatives within the area. Alternatively, you could contact customer services on 0870242 8000. They are open from 8am to 8pm. Mon to Sat and 9 am. - 8 pm. on Sundays. The cost varies between £55 - £65 per room depending on the requirements. For that amount you...

Review of Premier Travel Inn Macclesfield - North, Macclesfield

Premier Inn, Charing Cross Glasgow

Advantages: Close to town and all amenities
Disadvantages: none

...I have never stayed in the Premier Inn before, but I felt I had to share my experience of the past weekend. The staff in both reception and the restaurant were fantastic, they were really helpful and made you feel right at home. The room and bathroom were both spotless, warm and the freeview television meant that my daughter didn't miss her soaps while she was away. The bed was both big and comfortable and we didn't have any trouble getting to sleep. We opted for the breakfast deal and we were not disappointed, the food was well cooked and warm there was also plenty of choice. Access to the hotel was excellent for both able bodied and non-able bodied people, we didn't have a wheelchair but we did have a six month old baby and a pram, and even though it is situated next to Charing Cross rail station we didn't hear a thing from...

Premier DS-5080

Advantages: Cost-effective, lightweight, excellent photo quality
Disadvantages: Disadvantages!?!

...Back in March, I was in need of a digital camera, but was looking for one that wouldn't break the bank...Ideally, the Premier DS-5080 5 Mega Pixel camera is on the market then! For a camera of such image quality, I was somewhat taken aback that the retail price was just shy of the £100 mark. Excellent! The first thing that instantly struck me was the weight of it. Lightweight, if possible to say so, is an understatement! Its thin silver body with sliding lens cover and flat LCD monitor ensure that there is little "excess" materials used in the making of it. As the image of the product shows, it's streamline look is very attractive and pleasing to look at and use. Sliding the lens cover will switch it on and then you have the fun of the very straight-forward menu, that I must confess, I was able to use and navigate around...

Wife in the north

Advantages: Some humour
Disadvantages: Not much happens

...As a wife in Northumberland myself, I was keen to read Judith O?Reilly?s book, wife in Northumberland. I had seen the book for sale in Waterstones but thought I would borrow it from my local library. There was a long waiting list (obviously others wanted to read a book with a local connection) After a wait of 3 weeks I was very keen to start reading! The cover of the book with its cartoon family suggests that this is a humorous book. To confirm this there is a quote from Jenny Colgan saying that she howled with laughter at every page. This sounded like my kind of light read. However this book was not what I had been expecting. There is a lot of humour but it is also a very poignant and moving book. The book is written in diary form and plots Judith?s reluctant move from London to north Northumberland. The opening entry describes...

Review of Wife in the North - Judith O'Reilly

The North Pier, Blackpool

Advantages: Lots of fresh air, fully accessible by disabled visitors
Disadvantages: A small admission charge

...If you think about the main English seaside resorts then the chances are that they will have a pier. There is something very quintessentially English about seaside piers and in Britain they are largely restricted to England, with a handful in Wales and none at all north of the border in Scotland. Blackpool in the north west of England is unusual because it boasts three different piers. The North Pier, Central Pier and South Pier. As its name suggests The North Pier has the most northerly location of the three. It is also the oldest pier in the town and at 503 metres long it is also its longest pier. Eugenius Birch was drafted in to design The North Pier. He had been responsible for the design of Britain's first seaside pier at Margate. This was his second pier project and following its success he would go on to design a further...

Review of The North Pier, Blackpool

Premier, not perfect

Advantages: Location, customer service
Disadvantages: Electrical faults, noise

...Like a lot of people I travel regularly for work. Unlike most of them, I also work in the quasi-public-sector and feel obliged therefore to restrict the expense claims to reasonable limits. I have actually been known to stay in a Youth Hostel on a business trip - but generally I opt for what have become known as 'budget hotels' - you know the ones: Premier Inn (a.k.a. Travelinn as was), Travelodge, Innkeeper's Lodge. These are the earthbound equivalents of budget airlines. No frills. But you do expect them to deliver on the basics. Premier is probably my favourite of the three. Maybe that's because they've followed up their rebranding with a full-scale refurb of all their hotels. (Maybe it's because my most usual branch of the competition has particular limitations.) The point of this long lead in is to establish that I...

Review of Premier Travel Inn Manchester - City Centre (GMEX), Manchester

Premier Inn - Premier Staff - Happy Enough

Advantages: Price, Location
Disadvantages: No room Service

...and just a stop over we didn?t enquire into anything else that the hotel may offer but I would definitely recommend this to people looking for a weekend break or a wee stop over like ourselves because that?s what its obviously for, its not a resort or holiday place its just somewhere to lay your head, have a few wee drinks and probably some nice food and when they have offers even better, our offer of £29 was excellent as the normal price for a room for a night is £59 so technically we got 2 nights for the price of 1 and saved ourselves a pound woohoo?.I actually think that offer is still running with various locations from the Premier Inn Hotels just check out their website www.premierinn.com Thanks for reading and I appreciate any and all comments received....

Review of Premier Inn, Belfast

In a Premier League of it's own.

Advantages: Clean, comfy, great breakfast
Disadvantages: The view wasn't great

...onto your card details, however no money is taken from your account. Basically you don't pay for it now, you pay when you arrive at the hotel, the only reason they take your card details is so your room in guranteed. The booking is then confirmed. Apart from booking online you can book via: Direct bookings (ring chosen hotel directly) Group bookings (if needing 5 or more rooms) Tina (automated receptionist) Customer Contact Center *PREMIER INN - CHESTERFIELD* The Premier Inn we stayed at was the Chesterfield North one. It is located on Tapton Lock Hill, just outside of the main center of Chesterfield, but within walking/driving distance. There is a restaurant at the side of the hotel, called The Lock-keeper, although unfortunately we didn't go in there. The hotel is clearly seen from the road, so is quite unmissable as it...
