  Beware of parking charges

  I stayed in this hotel from 4/11 to 6/11 thinking I got a very good deal when we visited our daughter in Ringwood. I have stayed at this hotel before and have never been charged for parking my car there in their car park. I was not informed of car parking charges when I booked online, I was not made aware of car parking charges when I booked in and was not made aware when I booked out!! There is I am told car parking charges signs all over the car park but to be honest I didn’t look for these when I parked, as I said I had stayed here before and was never charged. We are aware on holiday at the moment and I have someone monitoring our mail whilst are away and I have been charged/fined 3 times at a cost of £57.00 for the 4/11 the 5/11 and driving out on the 6/11, so a good deal has turned into a complete rip off. I paid £57.00 or if I had not had my mail monitored I would have had to pay £95.00 3 times!!! I just wanted everyone to be aware of the charges so the same doesn’t happen to anyone else as I feel this is exploitation at the highest level of deceit

  Left outside and no staff

  The main outside door was locked at it was past midnight (1.20am). I was left outside in the freezing cold for almost 45 minutes. i was knocking the door, calling the hotel phone, knocking the frosted staff window from outside and nothing. I ended up walking round the back and found an unlocked door which went into the kitchen. i checked around and no one was there, i managed to find my way into reception to find a note from another customer where they had the same issue of no staff and wanted a refund. the time left on their note was 11.45pm. finally someone come out, she had clearly been asleep and admitted this. by now it was 2am. I said how i got in and she didnt seem phased at all the building was unsecure and anyone could of come in and done a lot worse than i did. i filmed the whole thing just to cover myself walking in, also took a picture from the note left by the other customer incase that was binned. It was minus 2 outside, i was freezing and left outside. this is beyond unacceptable and then the worry of anyone being able to walk in how i did. i didnt get into my room until 215 and i was then unable to sleep being so wound up and cold. i feel this is very below any standards from premier inn. I wish to request a refund to my personal account and not my business one as it was me who had the lack of sleep and not my business! the safety risk for your customers last night and access into the kitchens is terrible! sure there is plenty of cctv to back up my case.

  A mixed experience

  It is difficult to choose an overall rating for this hotel. If I was judging it purely on the comfort and cleanliness of our room, then it would have been five 'stars'. However, if determined on only the restaurant, it would at best be three. Our room was spotless in every respect and provided a comfortable stay. Also, the reception my partner and I received on checking in was exemplary. But, after having just one evening meal and one breakfast at the establishment, we ate at at restaurants or cafes in Ringwood. The main problem was that the date of our stay was during school half term time and Premier Inn was promoting the offer 'Kids eat free'. Consequently, any idea of a relaxing meal or breakfast was no more than a pipe dream. I had to remonstrate with a father who allowed his toddler to disturb our evening meal (which was actually cooked well), while our breakfast was consumed amidst the bedlam of poorly-controlled infants. Food simply ran out very quickly, if it was there in the first place (e.g., the 'fruit salad' apparently comprised just berries in juice). Our woes were compounded by a waitress who, on our request for a table away from the busiest part of the room, virtually ordered us to sit where she'd indicated. No doubt, if we were to return to the hotel out of half term time we would find the restaurant quite acceptable, but the experience has unfortunately coloured our memory of Ringwood Premier Inn.

  Great stay

  Had a great stay at Ringwood premier inn. All the staff were very friendly especially the young chap, Tobey. I had the meal deal on the last night of my stay which is great value for money! Will definitely come back again

  DO NOT STAY HERE IF YOU ENJOY SLEEP

  Never stay at this hotel. AC unit makes so much noise even when "turned off". After a little googling i realised the fuse box to the room could be completely turned off, which did infact turn the AC off. I was then met with the sound of about 8 large generators/fans directly below our room!!! (Room 320) I asked if i could be moved further away but apprently no other rooms available. I would never come back here and i suggest if you are travelling to Ringwood do not choose to stay in the Premier Inn.
