Is there anything else involved in the weekend? Going for dinner or to a show or an event? Or is it just the Premier Inn?

It would depend what I got for tea and where we went before bedtime.

It depends. Did you go out for dinner? Or have drinks? Was it for sexy time? Or just sleep?
I quite like a premier inn tbf.

If premier inn was just the base and it was a good city break I wouldn't be bothered.

Nothing wrong with a Premier Inn

Disappointed / in a murderous rage......

Was the night before the hotel good?

Not particularly as long as it was somewhere to crash after a lovely evening out.

But you know, some men just don’t ‘get it’ when it comes to these things....

Depends how much money he has and what we were doing.

Night out at a gig in another city - wouldn't bother me if we went back to premier inn.

What was the plan?

If it was a full on sheets so dirty afterwards scenario I wouldn't be moaning apart from alll night

Yes but I have high expectations and we typically only stay in very nice hotels.
The only time I would expect a Premier Inn would be an airport hotel the night before a flight.

Need context...as PP have said. If that's the night away then ugh, I'd be a bit peed off but if it was just a base and you had been for dinner and drinks and generally a lovely night, then a premier inn is totally fine IMO

Id be quite happy, but Im married a long time with older kids who seem to take it in turns to be awake, so Id enjoy the peace and quiet and we'd sneak in a takeaway! Pre kids, I would have been ok with it so long as there was another element to the trip, like dinner and theatre/gig

Don't they have the expensive mattresses? Mine is shite so I might be happy about it

No.
If I want to be disappointed about stuff, I've a list of far more things than that.

Well as long as the bed is big enough for two and comfy....

But like the others said, context is everything.

If thats what he could afford then that would be fine by me. It's the company that counts. Some of my happiest memories are of being young, broke and in love just wandering round a city together wasting time.

If it was one of the recently refurbished ones rather than an old tired one, and other activities were planned, I would be fine with that.

If the entire "event" was simply sleeping in a grotty Premier Inn next to a motorway, not so much.

Comfy bed and all you can eat breakfast. Perfect. But I'm not fussy Grin

No. I love a Premier Inn! Better beds than many pricier hotels and so far always a really good standard of cleanliness and comfort.

I love a Premier Inn! I'd be more disappointed if we didn't go to one! Grin

If it was a one-night and breakfast thing, yes.

If it was a base for a weekend away sight seeing, then no.
