Premier Inn Pickering ★★★

"We stayed four nights to explore this beautiful part of Yorkshire. Positives- we booked a premier plus room which came with a fridge, coffee machine and spring water and chocolate. The hotel was in a nice quiet location and had plenty of parking which is free. Breakfast was plentiful and didn’t run out. The staff did their best and were relentlessly polite and apologetic when things went wrong, Negatives-THERE ARE NOT ENOUGH STAFF- Premier Inn- you do not have enough people working here and as a result the existing staff are run off their feet at meal times as they are doing the bar, restaurant and checking people in. Dinner on the first night was slow with many dishes off due to the chef being too busy. On the last night we also ate in the hotel as it was a Sunday so getting by a meal in Pickering would have been tricky. Again, orders were taken quickly but the wait for a simple meal was long- well over 30 minutes. The restaurant lacked any kind of ambiance and felt like a fast food outlet. It was also freezing cold and did not feel like a nice place to relax. Our room (after requesting) was serviced on day 1 and 2 but not in our 3rd day as ‘apparently’ it hadn’t been entered in the book go do- nonsense -I’d specifically said EVERY day please and seen it written down when we checked in. I did complain and had a big apology but nothing could be done as it was so late in the day. Having read other disgruntled reviews and the reply ‘why didn’t you go to reception’ I most certainly did!!! On day three neither of the lifts worked. I don’t care if it’s a Sunday- an engineer should have been called to sort it. You’ve got a number of elderly people in this hotel so it needs sorting. We pay for services to work. If they don’t then fix them Whatever day it is. I feel Premier Inn is now run on minimal staff who work flat out. Credit to them and the staff here were really good. I wasn’t impressed with this hotel for four nights though and would avoid doing more than one night in a PI in the future."
