Premier, not perfect

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

...arrival point: Manchester Oxford Road rail station. The GMEX Premier Inn is within walking distance. It's located on Lower Moseley Street, opposite the Midland Hotel which faces Manchester Central Station, and only about five minutes walk from Oxford Road station. This is clearly the 'conference centre' of Manchester. The area is littered with hotels (there's another Premier even closer to the station, and a Hilton across the road, and just about everything in between); during the day it bustles; at night it shuts down. It took us quite some time to find a money machine, and we signally failed to find a late-night shop. There are, however, a number of restaurants - a couple of kebab shops and the ubiquitous McDonalds. So far, so good. CHECK IN. True to form, check-in was quick and easy. A request for my surname...

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

Premier stay by far

Advantages: Ideal Location for Manchester City Centre
Disadvantages: Limited free parking

...A real good nights sleep this was what I had when I stayed at the Manchester Premier Travel Inn MEN Arena. My friend and I had booked tickets to see Will Young in concert and as a Travel Agent I always seem to get lumbered with the travel arrangements such as the hotel, this time though I wanted something close to the event that was warm and cheerful, I normally stay at the Travelodge on Deansgate but this time it was all booked up and I didn't fancy trying to get a taxi at the end of the concert or walking for miles in heels either so I had a look on the Travel Inn website only to discover it had rebranded as the Premier Travel Inn. ~**Brief Update**~ Travel Inn and Premier Lodge recently merged to become Premier Travel Inn, claiming to be the UK's Leading value Hotel Company. The reason for this merge was to try and compete...

Review of Premier Travel Inn Manchester - CIty Centre (MEN Arena), Manchester

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...

Stag Do Shenannigans

Advantages: Clean, top location for shopping, reasonably priced
Disadvantages: a pain to get to on a saturday afternoon, thin walls

...Being of the age where it seems everyone and I mean everyone is getting married around you. I have been to more weddings than I care to mention this year. With these weddings there has been stag do's, taking in such cultural hotspots as Amsterdam, Cardiff, Newcastle and Brno (Czech Republic). All these places chosen for their museums, architecture, and many art galleries on offer. Lumped inbetween Cardiff and Amsterdam was a one night extravaganza in Manchester, not my choice of destination and obviously for legal reasons and for fear of breaking the unwritten Omerta of "what happens on the stag stays on the stag, I cannot divulge any possible events on the stag, but having sought written permission from the groom-to-be and the best man I am able to share with you a review of the hotel I stayed in?.. The Premier Inn Trafford Centre...

Review of Premier Travel Inn Manchester - Trafford Centre - South, Manchester

Super hotel in the heart of Manchester

Advantages: Location, staff, nice rooms
Disadvantages: Expensive

...a Grade 2 listed building. This makes a nice change to nasty looking 1970?s or 1980?s tower block style hotels. I have always been dropped off in front of the hotel and have to drag my bag up the steps. There is a side entrance which is step free. The lobby is small with a few comfy seats and tables dotted around. It?s very white as well. The reception desk has always been manned and is generally quick and efficient. You have the choice of stairs or a lift to your floor and you do need to use your key card to access the lift which I always have problems with! The Rooms: I have stayed in both the ?Superior? and ?Premier? rooms. The main difference seems to be size. The ?Superior? room I stayed in was quite small and had a small, high window, whilst the ?Premier? room on my last visit was spacious with a nice view of Manchester. The rooms have...

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...

Review of Manchester United

Ruling in Manchester now too?

Advantages: reasonable price if booked in advance
Disadvantages: none really

...As with my previous recent reviews this forms a part of my need to get a life ethos, and even though I live a short distance from Manchester on a planned night out on the town I decided it was better worth my time staying over than drunkely seeking the nightbus home. So armed with my trusty cashback paying link to a hotelbooking site I found this one for the night. I paid £50 for a doubleroom with no food included, the hotels standard rate is around £66 so a considerable saving especially given I only booked a few days before I wanted to stay. The hotel itself is seconds from Picadilly Gardens which is the location of a large bus station and a tram stop which runs between the two main train stations, it is also a few minutes walk from the main Bus Station in the city where the National Express coaches stop. The hotel has...

Review of Britannia Hotel Manchester, Manchester

Apartments are the way forward!

Advantages: Central, stylish, affordable and just downright cool
Disadvantages: You have to make your own fry-up in the morning

...I am sitting at my computer with an aching head, my hands clasped desperately round a glass of Alka Seltzer. I have just returned from a hen weekend in Manchester, and I don't think I can ever drink again. However, through the haze of an Easter weekend full of laughs, late nights, food and drink, I think I can recall enough about this establishment to give you a decent insight in to staying in apartments in the city. While looking for a venue for my hen's last weekend of freedom on the internet (if you have read any of my other reviews you will see the organization side of things often falls to me when it comes to hen weekends!) I came across the Premier Apartments. We had decided on Manchester as the city venue for the two nights of debauchery, but as it is only an hour's drive from where we live, we wanted something a little...

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....
