I recently spent a night at the Premier Inn Hotel, Hayes and was allocated room a near the staircase.
I have always regarded Premier Inn as the place to get a good night sleep, based on my previous experiences and their “Good Night Guarantee”.
Walking up to the room, I noticed the “Please tip toe” and realized why after entering the room. The staircase was so old and creaky, it was causing so much noise in the room by people walking up and down the stairs with their bags and banging doors whenever they entered or left the stairs. It’s impossible for people with children and bags to tip toe quietly.
Having spoken to reception (twice) to request another room due to the unacceptable high level of noise, I was told they were unable to move us because the hotel was full as no rooms were available.
However, what shocked me was when the receptionist said “we usually allocate the noisy rooms for guests that are staying a single night, HOW INSULTING
Their staff knowingly allocate me and others these noisy substandard rooms without informing their guests beforehand to decide if they wanted to stay or take their business elsewhere.
I wrote to Premier Inn Guest Relation and their reply was even worse than the receptionist “was had so many guests the hotel was full”…
Premier Inn must be honest with their guests and should never allocate rooms that they know are noisy and substandard.
