8/10
Having stayed at this location on and off you over 20 years, I was pleased to see it reopen. It was a big disappointment. The receptionist told me they had been open for over 7 years. It has been closed for about 18 months with a change from Premier Inn to BW. The refurb did not extend to the room I stayed in. The original lobby was refurbed but is not used...
The menu was limited, and even then items were not available. My final choice came with a vegetable of the day - peas!
I had ordered a steak, but was told I they were all out of this. So I reverted to Steak & Ale pie, but I was informed as they didn't have steak they couldn't therefore provide a pie with steak! He found out that in fact they could, and so I was given my uninspiring evening meal.
The chap opposite had to collect his own cutlery, and most of the individuals in the bar looked disappointed and bored - zero atmosphere it what was previously a buoyant location. This will probably be my last stay, which is sad given the many good times there under Premier Inn.
