Our 3 night stay during "the greatest gathering" was an unholy rip-off, costing just shy of 700 quid.
I had 2 nights booked at premier inn for £145 but couldn't get the 3rd night, so ended up switching.
Booked specifically for aircon, but the units are over 20 years old and somewhat noisy and dilapidated.
On our first night (room 223) the aircon unit went into error code every 15 mins, so we slow-cooked all night and got 45 mins sleep.
Hotel were apologetic and said it would be looked at, then reported it had been fixed. Got back to my room to check it out, same error still!
Thankfully they had capacity to move us from a twin to a family, but the sofa bed, although double, was horrible and thin. And takes up so much room you can't get to the window or use the desk.
Toilet paper is so thin, that even the loo roll in the portaloos at the event was higher quality! And I'm genuinely not kidding. I don't know why hotels persist in this false economy, when you end up using 3x as much.
Shower (room 212) was just about hot enough when set to 50+ degrees.
Buffet-style cooked breakfast is passable, but an oscar-winning celebration of grease, especially on the bacon. Plates are cold. Much more limited selection than competitors such premier inn (e.g. only 1 bread +pastry type)
Pros: pretty quiet, convenient for station, parking easy and cost-effective, staff pleasant, helpful and welcoming.
