Hotel is still covered in scaffolding even though work was completed months ago; this was confirmed by a manger. Also, was told that the landlord is responsible for the scaffolding and has done very little to get it removed. To be honest, Whitbread group who own Premier Inn are a massive company, so why is it that they cannot get the landlord to sort removal of the scaffolding. The view from our room is restricted, which I knew would be before booking, however, it was far worse then described on their information section of the hotel in their website area. Room is old, paint flaking in lots of places and walls have scratches in lots of areas and dirty in many places. Carpet is old, worn and bumpy in places. Bathroom has mould in tile grout in many places; grime in corners of the floor, especially around the toilet base and along bath floor line. Again, paint flakes and scratches on the bathroom floor. Shower was leaking at the shower head journey and bath mixer unit. TV is a 15inch size, not the normal larger screens you now get at majority of premiere inns. The hair drier was old and with powerless, totally inadequate for use. The area outside the front and side )where tables are) of the hotel is littered and dirty; I stayed for 4 nights and same litter was still there when I left and noted additional litter had accumulated. The beefeater did not have enough staff for main meals and especially breakfast time. The food was not up to the standard I’ve eaten at premier inns. The back screens in the kitchen where the cooks receive orders we’re stuck full of dirt where the grease had accumulated. The kitchen looked like it was not kept tidy during cooking and you could see cleanliness was not paid attention to. The quality of the food when we got it was not to the standards Premier Inn advertise; the fries arrived cold, the coleslaw was tasteless and the ribs were below average and not the succulent tasteful experience they describe. I did tell the staff about the fries and coleslaw, and they replaced the fries with hot ones, though they said there is nothing they can do about the coleslaw, as it arrives pre-made and the ribs were replaced with no better results. In short, the experience of eating at this beefeater fell way short of other Premier Inn restaurants I’ve eaten at and there have been loads, as I stay at Premiere Inn all the time. My recommendation is not to stay at this Premier Inn until they’ve resolved everything.
