Very poor. I would not recommend to anyone. The strong smell of mould made it very difficult to fall asleep. And it wasn’t just a one room situation. …

Not too impressed with this visit, in short - ||||- The bed was too small. I thought roomy comfortable beds were a feature of Premier Inns? …

Mum and I used this hotel while visiting Taunton to watch cricket. It is just a short taxi journey to Somerset County Cricket Club. From the moment we arrived. and throughout our stay, all the staff were really friendly, kind and helpful to us. The food was great, and our beds were very comfortable. We would definitely stay here again.

Stayed for one night over the bank holiday weekend. I have stayed in many premier inns and have always felt that they were good value for money. Unfortunately this is the worst premier inn experience I've had. …

Good value hotel, rooms were perfectly reasonable (but would get hot on a warm day I imagine). Breakfast was average - kept running out of crockery and food items. Ordering cooked breakfast for a big group wasn't straight forward either.

The window in my room wouldn't even close, staff couldn't really be bothered and the location was noisy. The food menu was very limited. Building work going on near rooms 8 and 10 on the ground floor is noisy. Wouldn't advise anyone staying here!

The rooms are ridiculously hot and the air does not circulate even with two fans. Worst sleep. Waking up drenched in sweat and not even using a cover to sleep. The window does not open enough. The hallway/corridor was cooler than the room!?
