Advantages: clean rooms

Disadvantages: immaediate area is industrial , hotel surroundings are shabby

i recently stayed at the premier inn at lobley hill jn newcastle upon tyne.
now despite this premier inn being near the top of their popularity index i was to say the least very dissapointed,
after a long drive and battling with traffic along the m1 a1 we arrived , at an industrial estate , my significant other looked at me , and said here ? are you sure ?
the immiediate surroundings of this premier inn are to say the least uninspiring, literaly on the edge of an industrial estate ,
the inn itself although modern in appearance is shackled by a dismal concrete corridor to a local pub, unfortunately this is where you have breakfast if youve chosen this option. more of that later,
we decided we would give it a try as we intended moving on the next day anyway.
the room itself was the standard purple premier inn fayre, and in truth it was modern clean and bright , with good quality solid fittings. tv, and the bathroom was modern and clean,
we stayed the night and had a good sleep , there was no neighbour noise to speak of, sometimes a problem in modern hotels.
one complaint though the room was boiling , so we needed the window open all night , which meant we could clearly hear the roar of traffic on the nearby a1, 100 yards away,
on to breakfast , you need to pay extra for breakfast , and its not cheap.
i think it was appx £7 each for full english, the produce wasnt great to be honest, it was all a bit flabby and greasy , and often served tepid,
we left our comments, paid and left the hotel,
we moved on from here to our new base , and put this down to experience.

Summary: not the best premiere in i have stayed at
