프리미어 인 페인턴

A very nice location right on the seafront, the walk to the town and pier is about 20 minutes, worth thinking about if mobility is an issue. On arrival there was parking right outside, I imagine I'm high season this could become limited however, you can come and go in your car for the duration of your stay and pay on departure, the car park is ANPR operated. We were greeted at reception by Emma who was very pleasant and helpful, we aren't familiar with the area and she even left the reception to act as a guide and direct is to the pathway to the town. We had a very spacious family room (111) at the front with a seaview, breakfast is served until 11am and was very good, a wide selection to choose from, fried breakfast was in form of help yourself buffet which was all nicely cooked and hot. A minor criticism that the building could do with a little TLC inside and out. Also we arrived on a Friday and spent the day in Paignton on the seafront and returned after an evening meal in town, we returned to our rooms and changed, headed downstairs to the bar area (Brewers Fayre incorporated into the Inn) around 9pm to be told last orders is 9:45. There isn't anywhere within a short walk if you want a drink after this time, we weren't looking to stay up all night but a drink until maybe 10:30 would not seem unreasonable. Small criticisms aside it wouldn't put us off staying again as the good points certainly outweigh those slight faults.

Reception staff extremely helpful and supportive to explain different features of rooms for our family's complex needs when we stay there in the summer. Breakfast and evening meal food served quickly, fresh and hot. Staff always on hand and willing to do whatever was needed to accommodate our requirements.

We spent 2 nights here booked with a free breakfast offer. We paid for a sea view too as it was only £9 and having experienced it it was definitely worth it to us. Our room 114 looked straight out to sea. All staff in hotel and pub were friendly and helpful. Double bed was comfortable and whole room was clean. Some small signs of wear and tear on the furniture but plenty of plugs and a decent size tv. WiFi was slow but adequate for our needs. Kettle and tea and coffee provided in the room with refills available at reception all the time. Shower was good and bottles of body wash and hand soap were attached to the wall in the bathroom. Nice big bath towels provided. Breakfast was in the pub next door accessed directly from the hotel. As it was quiet the hot breakfast was cooked to order so was lovely and fresh but veggie sausages were not available both days which was disappointing. Nice selection of everything else and it was all good. As it was out of season we had no trouble parking outside the hotel and it was £7 per night which I thought was reasonable. Location is great as it’s right by the beach but it is a bit of a walk to get into the nearest town.

The hotel was nice but the other guests unfortunately marred it for us. Premier Inn clearly go to great measures to remind guests to be respectful and quiet but I guess due to the price it attracts people who think that these simple things don't apply to them and their children. Constant running up and down the corridors and in bedrooms late at night and the pub next door had a couple of families whose children were feral and had no manners whatsoever. The hotel itself is nice as I've said and it's a shame in that respect.

Been to this Premier Inn a few times and it’s been very good but this time not so much. The bed was terrible, I had to make it on arrival and start again. There were black bits in the lower sheet which was crumpled and didn’t fit properly. The duvet cover also didn’t fit, far too big for the duvet. The whole thing creaked every time you moved. The soap container in the shower is fixed at bath height so you can’t reach down for it. Every time I had to go to reception there was no one there, the receptionist was on her own all the time. Although she was very helpful. I didn’t feel the standard was as good as usual. Didn’t eat at Brewers Fayre it wasn’t very appealing.

Lets start by saying lovely hotel in terms of comfy bed, and beachfront location. However. Swelteringly hot rooms, windows that DO NOT open (I've NEVER been to a hotel where that's the case and I've stayed in quite a few hotels), air con that doesn't work, as someone with reduced mobility, being stuck on the top floor with no lift isn't great, but then again I didn't specify in the booking so I can't blame them for where they've put me, only for the lack of consideration to those with reduced mobility. Whilst the beds were comfy, it wasn't worth the elevated rates for Christmas for the sheer discomfort of not being able to air the room. Do kind of regret not booking the Travelodge or something.
