    ✹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 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.

    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.

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.

      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.

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.

I can see how the fridge could be handy if staying for a number of nights, as you could buy fresh milk, fruit juice etc from a nearby supermarket but I can't say anything else in that PLUS room would make an difference to me, especially as I'm out at work all day.

    The only problem with the weston Super Mare Premier Inn is the parking, no free car park,so we been to the one in Lympsham very nice just outside weston. 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.

    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.

    I like a mini fridge in a hotel. When we travelled through the UK, we never got one with a mini fridge which comes standard with hotels in Australia. We never thought to check and the reason you want a mini fridge, it is nice to have a cold drink during the night or if you bought some food during the day that's need to be in a fridge or in my case insulin that needs to be in a fridge so these Premier Inn PLUS Room would be my pick just because of the fridge.

      Yes, definitely a perk here in the UK. One tip if you need a fridge and the room doesn't have one is to ask at reception. Most hotels will have a fridge and sometimes a freezer that guests can use - they just ask you to have things labelled. It's obviously less convenient, because you have to ask at reception every time, but still useful to have.

    I've stayed in a Premier Inn Tim!!
    Last December 2021.
    I had a little adventure!
    Just moved into my new house that was unbearably cold as I moved in December & the Extraction Fans were just like holes in the walls ( I've since made adjustments & house feels abit better)
    But last December after a few weeks shivering with cold I packed a bag & booked into my nearest premier Inn for the first time.
    I was that cold the staff gave me an extra Duvet!
    First room I went too the heating wouldn't work so I got moved to another room.
    It was a standard room but it had an extra big sofa where I sat wrapped up in the extra Duvet & it had a stunning view of a big Christmas Tree outside!
    And you were right Tim, the soap dispensers were like what you get in a public toilet.
    But the Bathroom was nice & it had a bath & shower over.
    There was place to hang clothes in my room & a table & chair.
    Plus good sized TV.
    I didn't get the Expresso Coffee Maker obviously being a standard room (tho I'm not a fan of Expresso!)
    And I had no complementary Chocolate!
    For the first 3 or 4 nights were fine then the air conditioning when really cold I thought the staff had turned it down on purpose cos I was always asking them to turn it up to 28°c.
    But downstairs the Cafe & Bar was also freezing!
    And everyone was complaining about being cold!
    After a night of cold air blowing into my room I checked out early!
    I was going to stay over Christmas but changed my mind I came back to my cold house instead.
    At least I didn't have to pay to stay at home!
    The positives about the Premier Inn was as you say Tim the bed was extremely comfortable & the room was clean.
    But if I ever had to stay in a Premier Inn again I'd go in summer when it's naturally warmer.
    I can't say I was impressed but that was only one experience in one Premier Inn.
    The premium room you were in did look luxurious & I hope the Air Conditioning was more advanced that what I experienced!
    Hope you had a really good stay Tim
    And I'd like to wish you a Happy Birthday 🎂🎉🎊aswell.
    I don't know what day your Birthday is on but I know it's in December so have a lovely time on your special 🎉 dayđŸŽŠâŁïž

    I travelled across the country for over a year, delivering five-day training sessions, and stayed in hotels paid for by work. I bought myself a mini fridge for just over ÂŁ100, and it does improve your stay. You can have fresh milk in your tea (instead of powered), meats, salads and cold drinks. The alternative is powered milk, pot noodles things or expensive and timely visits to local restaurants or fast food outlets. It is a pain to carry in and out of the place though. There may also be a safety risk in taking your own mini fridge as it's not PAT tested by the hotel, but I never asked and just did it. I justified this to myself by thinking of all the guests taking their own laptops and devices. They plug them in to charge or use without the hotel PAT testing them.

The premier plus rooms have balcony's overlooking the pier, and you can smoke on them as well. Regarding your question about the fridge, there are usually 2 bottles of water in them 1 still, 1 sparkling, and I usually stock mine up with wine from Tesco. P.S.
