Premier Inn Tamworth Central

The place is a handy central base for the Midlands, Staffordshire, or nearby attractions. Tamworth Castle is next door, the retail park is across the road, Snowdome is just around the corner, and Drayton Manor and Twycross Zoo are nearby. Birmingham is about 20 minutes away. It’s clean, good value, and the service is friendly. The hotel was recently refurbished, and the upgraded bathrooms are a welcome change. Our bedding, bathrooms, and carpets were clean. Parking is free on site. As at all Premier Inns, kids stay free and eat free. The WiFi didn’t work on day one. Support weren’t very helpful and couldn’t fix it, but it started working the next day. Slow WiFi is free, and the faster option costs £5 a day. The room thermostat kept resetting to a very low temperature and turning off the heat, so we woke up cold. Luckily reception gave us a plug-in electric heater, which was a godsend and made the stay comfortable. The hotel stay was made especially nice by breakfast next door at the Ladybridge Beefeater. All the staff were brilliant, especially Gail, who went the extra mile and was a real gem, plus Kelly, Joao, Tyler, and chefs Chris and Dave. Suzanna deserves special mention for working so hard to keep guests comfortable. She was friendly, accommodating, and kind. Jenny was a star, extremely helpful and friendly, and Dean was very kind and helpful too. There were other lovely staff whose names I don’t know, and I’m sorry I can’t mention them. We also met an exceptionally kind guest, which was heartwarming. It was a pleasant stay, and we’d definitely return. Credit to the manager and the team. Highly recommend for families visiting the area.
