Premier Inn Lichfield North East (A38)

Over many years Premier Inns (PI's) have been our favourite hotel chain. Their beds & bedding are famed for high quality and a great nights sleep. I had read numerous (comparatively recent) reviews and had formed the view that though this hotel suited my need for closeness to the NMA (under 3 miles away) it might not be up to PI's normal high standards. I expected it to be a bit 'tired /run down' and was delighted to find it was peaceful and welcoming, clean, cared for, super helpful receptionist, great (Asian) restaurant adjoining, excellent parking to 3 sides of hotel. Negligible overnight road noise from the A38. Double glazed windows, which could be safely opened for fresh air was a lovely bonus - tho' a freestanding electric fan was provided too. The TV was small but perfectly adequate. The shower was excellent. I brought my own breakfast - as the Fayre & Square (Whitbread franchise) closed some years back. The adjoining Fradley Arms has a great menu, an attractive outdoor eating area to the front and will soon be opening earlier to provide breakfasts. The PI Reception counter offered a good selection of light breakfast items (porridge pots, etc) - complementary, but guests could donate to the charity box. In summary, I can highly recommend this hotel and will happily choose to stay here again.

Lovely place, the staff were very friendly and helpful. Great pub next door again very friendly. Would definitely recommend staying here.

Such a lovely Premier Inn which is the closest and easiest to get to from the Bearded Theory music festival. The staff are brilliant and so helpful and the hotel has a real family feel about it because everyone is so lovely. The rooms are typical of a Premier Inn, they never let you down and the beds are so comfortable. Really recommend.

Myself and friends stayed here for the duration of the festival as camping isn't our thing! The staff were super friendly and very helpful. The bed was really comfortable. I didn't have any noise complaints although I was wearing earplugs to block out my friend's snoring!

Just arrived. Such a great location. Checked in. Staff friendly and helpful. Lots of selection of hot drinks. Room perfect. 2 teenages and 1 adult. Room is spacious. Then next to tea making things a little box of chocolates. Stay in Premier inns alot as always know what to expect, but this one is better than others we have stayed in. Nice little touches.

Very disappointed with our two night stay. No breakfast facilities available on site despite details on web site indicating there were. The only thing we were offered was a choice of two boxes of cereal or instant porridge and we were told there was nothing else available as the hotel has been very busy and there had been no top up of supplies. We were given printed lists of local places to eat which did help a bit. The rooms were clean but very dated with not enough power points for electronic device chargers. The staff were very friendly and helpful and quite apologetic about the lack of facilities that we normally expect from a Premier Inn.
