No staff on reception after 9pm so could not get any extra bedding due to poor quality of mattress we had to lay on top of the duvet and could only cover up best we could for two night's. All due to no one on reception after 9pm.

The second night just a few minutes before 9pm when returning to the the reception was closed so we could not repot the issue as we had to leave the hotel before 7am. Also when trying to use the lift the door would not latch so it would not go up. After several attempts another guest came in and tried helping us but still we had no success. I then suggested that he tried slamming the door and after several attempts this worked. We needed the lift as we both have severe problems with stairs. It was still not working it the morning, it woul go down only. We reported this to reception when we were leaving the hotel.

Further although Coffee/tea etc was provided in the room no sweeteners or milk was provided. I had to go out to buy the milk. Very poor service and we would not recommend using the place.

Ok for one night

Cost friendly. Ok for an overnight stay. Room was supposed to be a deluxe double which only means you have a larger bed (this was two beds put together so you could feel the job) I needed to do some work and the floor sockets near the desk would not open so I had to move furniture. Walls paper thin you can hear conversations from the ext room.

Corridors smell of sewage, toilet bowl needs a good clean.

Big disappointment that you cannot use the garden which would have been safer for a female instead of having to stand on the Main Street Others kept leaving the out of hours fire door open allowing public access therefore a safety concern.

The property itself was ok, but considering the amount of rooms there’s no 24hr coverage on Reception after 21.00.

Brilliant Find

The R Inn has obviously been refurbished recently and I stayed 1 night at a brilliant price in their more expensive room. It isnt huge and from outside it is an obvious refurbishment but inside it is spotlessly clean, well laid out and well signposted.
The room was super clean, plenty of space for clothes etc and a shower room which was super clean and perfectly functional in every way. Shower was excellent. On arrival the male receptionist was smiling and courteous. His instructins to us with regard to hours etc were clear.
This hotel for me was perfect and it was not expensive so a super find. The place was very quiet and it was a Saturday night !

after this the main doors are locked & access id through a \"fire door\" - this fire door banged every time anyone used it!!

Less than expected

The first room offered was large and tidy but the double bed was like a rock. We asked for an exchange of rooms and were given a smaller room that had a much better bed mattress. The bar closed at 9.30 which was early but understandable as it had so few people. There is a pub opposite which was the other option.
Staff were friendly.

Cheap, but not so cheerful. Plug in basin not working, so had to wash in water already washed in. Reception not open late or early on Saturday morning, so though it was emptied once after we arrived, we could not empty after our bedtime wash. Stairs were a problem, and the step up to our bedroom had no hand rail, and to get out in the morning by the side door meant going up and down yet more steps. No breakfast facilities, though we did know about this. Not at all the 'complex' I was expecting.

I elderly ask for ground floor stairs very steep.

I found my room so basic there was no chair, yet space for one. Don't stay if there is to be wedding as the music goes on forever, which means you cannot get to sleep till about 2am. It showed a great disregard to the guests who were hoping for restful sleep
The music should stop at 12 midnight. The premier inn provides a snack breakfast they ought to provide guests with that. I did not stay for my second night, so wasted that £50.00 as a senior citizen that's a huge sum.

Fire exit becomes main entrance when reception is closed. This was not locked so anyone from the street can enter the building. The damping on the door was not working so door slams every time someone leaves/enters - the whole room shook every time, day and night - not a good sleep unfortunately.

We arrived at the hotel late after a long day at work. The room was Very small which we weren’t too concerned about given the low price. However, it was filthy - dust on all of the surfaces. The shower and radiators were covered in grime.
There were questionable stains all over the walls and a strange substance dripping down the walls.
The beds were very small and there were hairs in the sheets.
