We nearly always choose Premier Inn as we know what to expect, but sadly Loughborough fell short of our expectations. Our room was very cold and the thermostat/heating did not work. I went to reception to let them know and was advised that the room temperature was controlled centrally and they would increase it. They did this straight away. There was no hot water from the sink tap and the shower initially alternated between scalding hot and warm before running completely cold (when I was rinsing my hair!). I again went to reception to report this and was told to report it again in the morning when the maintenance man would be in. I did this and was assured that the maintenance man would have a look. On return to the hotel on Saturday afternoon, I asked if the hot water had been fixed and was assured that it had. However, nothing had changed and there was still no hot water from the sink tap. I did not bother testing the shower but went back to reception to let them know. I was offered another rooom which I accepted. I had previously booked tables for dinner, for a party of 7 on Friday night and 12 on Saturday night, which included a number of wheelchair users (although this had taken me 4 days, with several calls a day, to get through on the telephone). The table on Friday night was available, with chairs removed to accommodate those in wheelchairs. The menu was very limited, with little choice, and it was even further restricted by lack of availability of certain items. The fish and chips had a peculiar chargrilled taste. Due to the limited menu, which was not suitable for anyone with specific dietary requirements, we tried to book elsewhere for the Saturday night but it was too late to find anywhere. However, we were assured that the full (limited) menu was available for Saturday night, although we had to order a takeaway for those with specific dietary requirements. The reserved table for Saturday night was not big enough for our party, so we had to add further tables and remove chairs ourselves to fit everyone in. The pizza, again, had the peculiar chargrilled taste and not all menu options were available once again. At breakfast on Saturday morning the coffee machine was out of order and we did not bother with breakfast on Sunday morning. On a positive note both rooms were clean and the staff, when we could find them, were friendly and helpful. I feel the staff were doing the best they could with limited resources
