    ✹As someone who works at Premier Inn I wanted to give my professional opinion
    First, yes there should have been two bottles of water in that fridge
 I don’t know why it wasn’t there and I’m so sorry for that
    On overall that room doesn’t reflect actual standard as this room is done wrong in so many ways, including the bed which is horrible and not up to brand standards
    Also the kettle in that room is wrong and there is another kettle used in that room that is bigger and better
    Plus, there are smaller pillows in that bag with extra pillows
    About chocolates - you can always go back to reception or catch a housekeeper and ask fo more chocolates and tees (even if you are not staying in plus room 😜)
    In general, you had every right to ask for your money back as I look at that room, the bed shocked me tbh. And as you come in the bedside lamps should have been turned on the pillows that should have been a lot more neat with light in the room turned off
    You were also given a wrong key card, there’s another one for plus rooms that is themed for those rooms
    And not all premier inns have the sign about illegal substances, it might be a thing in London, doesn’t say anything about the whole brand

      We use Premier Inn so 're time when visiting family around the country.
      We had to book a premier plus room just before Christmas because it was all that was available. It was nice, but TBH, I wouldn't book again if a standard room was available - we only want somewhere clean to sleep and have breakfast before leaving for the day - so, for me, the extra money isn't worth it.

    I really do like a Premier Plus room, as I can pop down the shop and put my pepsi in the fridge to keep cool. After a night out a cold glass of water is so much nicer than the usual warm tap water too! They tend to put the Plus rooms on the higher up floors too for those of us who prefer a view, take away the ÂŁ5/night for good wifi and it's definitely worth the money.

    Fridges are great. If you are staying for a few days, its worth it to go to a store close by and buy a few waters or soft drinks and keep them cool in the fridge. Better than paying $18.50 for a bottle at the hotel. As well, I've had the the occasion to take back leftovers from a restaurant (one time an entire free meal) and keep it in the fridge for the next days dinner if there is also a microwave in the room. it also is advantageous if you travel with a cooler to refreeze your ice packs.

      Staying at Premier Inns for work, I take advantage of the Premier Plus rooms when I can. In some of their hotels, the Premier Plus floor is also the quiet floor. As someone who has worked hard during the day, and absolutely knackered by the end of it, those little extras make a difference. Even the stool as somewhere to unpack your overnight bags. But then, my hotel expenses are paid for me. I always love the Nespresso machine.

    I had two free bottles of water when I stayed in a Premier Plus room, and quite enjoyed it. I'll certainly stay in one again when I've got more time to kill at the hotel as they're more comfortable to work in and more relaxing generally... The fridge was a nice touch to chill a drink overnight and take out in the morning... Also if you take drinks up from the bar (as I do if I'm working in the room for a while) it's handy to keep them cool.

    Premier Inn used to be my go-to chain, but they've changed to a "dynamic pricing" model, and they're now very poor value for money. September 2021, me and some friends stayed at a Premier Inn at Cardiff, and my room was ÂŁ59 a night, including breakfast, which I think is pretty good value. In October 2022, we went back to the same hotel, as it was well located for us, and the price had shot up to ÂŁ93 a night. The original plan had been to stay in another Premier Inn in the Cotswolds on our journey home, but their branch at Chipping Norton cost a truly shocking ÂŁ160 for a standard room!! We ended up getting a far, far nicer Mercure hotel which cost just ÂŁ7 more than what I'd paid for a night in Cardiff! Until such time as Premier Inn lower their prices, I will be in no hurry to return. It's a shame really.

      I think this has always been the case - I needed to stay in Dover in August 2015 and it was about ÂŁ80 per night (much more than when I'd stayed there a few months before). Hotels in general, like everything, have also shot up a lot in price recently. I think Premier Inn is still better value than say a Travelodge, but it's definitely worth shopping around for other options.

    The last time when I stayed at a Premier Inn in Cardiff they were having one of the floors done out, take it might have been starting on with the Premier Inn plus rooms. I have stayed at lots of Premier Inn myself, you know what you are getting and they a good for a night sleep. Cool room number, 3 2 1 open the door. 😀

    I think these rooms could be good for business travellers. The only thing that I haven't seen in standard Premier Inn rooms that I'd probably use is the fridge.
    Fridges are really useful, especially in the summer - you can use it to chill drinks or store food safely, especially if you're trying to save money on meals out. I also have meditation that is better chilled and usually resort to making a DIY fridge when I stay in hotels.
    I actually think all rooms should have one in!

      It's similar to how you keep milk cold when camping, except with a bucket and tea towel.

    This step up in PI rooms would certainly make me more likely to choose them over a Holiday Inn Extra say, I do though like full-service hotels and in particular some of the rather quirky old coaching inns like The Bear at Woodstock, price is not always my first consideration either when booking a hotel.

We have also stayed in a Premier plus room, and it was lovely having the extra bit's the fridge is the best thing. And yes you should have had some Complimentary water and bit's in the fridge. They're also changing their mattresses they normally have hypnos ones, but now they are all changing to Silent night ones.

But is it really worth the extra. On visual the bed looks fine and nice touch with the lit wardrobe always handy a night. I don’t know how much extra you paid but yes it looks pretty good.

    You always know what you’re getting with a premier inn. With the exception of the odd, easily rectified problem, I’ve never had any issues - the beds as you say are very comfortable, the rooms are usually very clean and the staff are usually very good. I would personally choose premier inn over Travelodge as they can be a bit hit and miss although they shouldn’t be completely ruled out as I’ve stayed in plenty of good Travelodge hotels. I’ve had it before when I’ve stayed somewhere awful which completely ruined the holiday so having the guarantee that premier inn can give of being generally very good, is very much worth it even if you pay a bit more.

    Premier Inn room are not bad to start with. Good clean and same standard no matter where. I was given a Premier Plus room (free upgrade) at Heathrow T4. It was very nice. Fridge was specially appreciated to keep drinks and snacks cold. Sorry I’d take a fridge anyway over a coffee machine. And most would. If they have kids or babies or traveling by yourself. Apart from AC a fridge is probably the best addition to a room. And the Prem T4 had a Costa in the lobby so I could get a better coffee there anyway then I’d make.
