Manchester, Premier Inn Trafford Centre West

I had assumed that it would not be a pleasant experience to stay at a Premier Inn but I was wrong and I could have saved a lot of money if I ha known how good they are. We stayed at Trafford Centre West when we travelled to watch Man U and they even supplied a bus transfer to Old Trafford for spectators at a reasonable price. I liked the fact the we had 2 double beds in our room so the children could stay in our room and their breakfast was free. It was clean and comfortable and excellent quality and value. We had an enjoyable stay.

I'm now a Premier Inn convert - their new look, spruced up hotels are amazing. A group of friends and I booked into the Trafford Centre Premier Inn for my hen-do last month. Because my BM arranged things well in advance, we only paid the early booking rate of £29 per/room per/night. Amazing value for what is basically a 4 star hotel (super clean, new and comfy beds). It was the perfect location for a day of shopping (walking distance to Trafford Centre), then a night on the town. The hotel staff were very friendly and helpful and booked us taxis to get into town for a fab night out. Premier Inn is definietly my first choice when booking accommodation around the UK - booking in advance is a definite plus. The price difrerence is huge - the SAturday night rate went up to £89 the week before our stay, but we only paid £29 per/room for 4 rooms.

In 2009, I went down to Manchester to visit the Trafford Centre. I have previously visited the Trafford Centre before by staying in the Travelodge Manchester Trafford. I have also reviewed that hotel and found that is was very average. However, I stay in alot of budget hotels including alot of Premier Inn's. Premier Inn idealy has 3 hotels around the Trafford Centre which are all in easy reach. The 3 hotels are: Premier Inn Manchester Trafford Centre North, " " South and " "West. I have reviewed the other 2 hotels elsewhere. This hotel is the better of the 3. It is the largest, the smartest and the most spacious. As you come off the moterway, there it is: the hotel. You can't miss it realy as it is so grand.

We parked up, got our bags and went inside. The reception is very welcoming and spacious. There is a large lounge area followed by a resteraunt. The resteraunt in this case is a Premier Inn resteraunt which is the only downer as explained later. We were greated by friendly staff asking us if we have stayed with Premier Inn before. In this case we have however they still explained their Good Night Guarantee. This is basicly, if you don't have a good night's sleep, you get a full refund.

Premier Inn hotel rooms are priced from a very low £29. We stayed 2 nights from Friday to Sunday and got both nights at this price which, in my oppinion, is well worth it! We were handed the key and off to our room we went. Naturally, the room is a typical Premier Inn style basic layout. However, my child,got a double bed! The beds were very comfy and the bathroom was spotless! During our journey, we went into Maanchester town centre. Let's just say, I'd never do that again!

The only downer was the resteraunt. Premier Inn's have different resteraunts attached to them. Mainly Table Table's or Brewers Fayre as they are owned by Whitbread. However, some have a Premier Inn resteraunt inside. Don't get me wrong, it is gorgous food it's just the price! It is very expensive! Luckily, there was a wetherspoons located just down the road.

However, with Manchester town centre just 5 miles away and mnachester airport just 10 miles away, this is an ideal getaway break. Fab!
