Premier Inn Luton (Airport)

Entrance area strewn with rubbish and weeds but at least there is ample parking……inside things improve and the guy on reception was helpful and efficient. It was disappointing to find we were on the third floor and lift was out of order but at least guy on reception offered to help with luggage. Room was bright and clean and issues sort from only two pillows. We asked for more as my wife’s health means she needs to sleep more upright. They couldn’t provide more so she will have my pillow and I will use a towel which is not going to be a good night and has ruined the experience. The food in the restaurant is good for pub grub but if you don’t book in advance expect to have to wait for a table in the bar area. Overall wouldn’t stay here again. Airport is close which is a plus as easy to get to but a negative if you struggle to sleep with noise

I didn’t like it at all. Instead of receptionist they had check in machines, and I honestly don’t like when machines are replacing humans. I went with my wife who is pregnant and even the lifts were out of order. The bedroom was clean and that’ was the only good thing. Besides that was just one bad place to stay

We stay here monthly for business, and it's going downhill fast. There are rats all over the car park and around the restaurant, and they're massive rats. The Premier Inn Plus rooms, which we always stay in, are not being maintained at all. The first room had a broken TV, so they moved us to another, which had screen damage. The hotel is not cleaned properly at all, I ran my shoe over the carpet and clumps of someone else's hair came up, and I mean clumps, so more than one guest. The Reception area is freezing with the Air Conditioning, which renders it less effective in the rooms. Our air conditioning was pointless. The room at times reached 34°C. We asked for a fan, but that didn't help; it just passed warm air around. We were also treated differently on this visit, as we come for business monthly and have never been offered a taxi or any other assistance. A lady of a different ethnicity was checking in at the same time. They told us to use the electronic boards to check in, whereas the lady was checked in by staff and was offered a taxi and various extras; we have never been offered that. We send around £1000 per month here. The premier rooms are not at the level advertised by Premier Inn; they are dirty, and the menus in the rooms are sticky - it's bleak. The staff fluctuates, and I think this depends on whether they can be bothered. There is one lady who works there that we see all the time, and she's lovely; she always tries to help. I think she's the manager we've met, and he is also really lovely. But the two lads working at this time's visit didn't want to do anything; they didn't even want to check us in.

Hotel reception member of staff was rude and very unwelcoming. When we approached the desk there was no hello, welcome, how are you. Just simply "whats your name". There were other examples of abrupt rudeness. A lesson in how to greet and welcome paying customers is very much needed. We would not out of choice stay here again.
