This was our first stay at Premier Inn, Gloucester Quayside and it was a good night's stay. We booked online from the USA and on arrival, everything was as expected. The room was modern, spotlessly clean, well appointed and had everything we needed, including facilities for making tea and instant coffee. The bed was very comfortable and we had a good night's rest. Two things we found interesting: 1) it was necessary to use our room key to get access to the elevator - a good security measure that made us feel quite safe, and 2) a slot for the roomkey just inside the door that made it possible to keep the room lights on; take the key out and after a 10 second or so delay, the lights go out. It is a great economy feature, but a bit awkward if one person wants to stay in the room and the other needs to go out to get something. If two people are staying, this issue can be resolved by requesting two keys. We had an evening meal and cooked breakfast at the Beefeater's Restaurant across from the hotel and found it very good. The server was a delight and the kitchen staff even modified our order to our liking. I would suggest they add some lighter and a bit more basic selections to the menu (i.e. a basic cheeseburger in addiiton to the bacon cheese burger or double burgers. The breakfast was a typical English breakfast which was more than adequate for the start of the day. Overall, we were very pleased with everything about the arrangements of this hotel and restaurant and we would return there again without question should the need arise to seek accommodation in the Gloucester area.
