Would you find this a little snobby in someone?

Gosh people are so different aren’t they!

private schools all the way through / mortgage free house / soho house membership / all the ‘fancy’ life trimmings

love a fun day out at blackpool with the children! Premier inn isn’t necessarily a choice I’d make if I was looking for a ‘hotel experience’ (for an anniversary or something) but I’ve stayed in plenty when they’re the most convenient option.

In my experience, if someone is suggesting or implying that your life experiences are some how ‘less’ than theirs - that’s a them problem not a you problem. Snobbishness is an easy crutch for the insecure. I know it’s easier said than done, but I honestly think the best thing to do to snobby people is have a little internal giggle and let them move on by.

But see this is why I don't do premier inn. It is always prefaced with at least it's clean/something about being clean or not if someone describes it. And if it wasn't, then you can't expect much because it's a Premier Inn. A high end place, where you are spending money you can complain about it and expect something to be done. That being said, I would never say it to anyone and make them feel bad.

Premier Inn, fine. Blackpool? Not a chance in hell!

This.

It’s 100% snobbery.

It's snobbery not to want to stay in a place that's an absolute shithole?

I am not a snobby person but I agree with him on Blackpool. Each to their own.

I wouldn’t find it snobby for a person to have a different opinion from me. I have very fond memories of cheap seaside town holidays, others not liking them doesn’t detract from that.

If he said something like “anyone who goes to blackpool is scum” that’d be snobby and rude.

Wrong place to ask. MN is beyond snobby!

Great Yarmouth is a hell hole. And that’s absolutely not ‘snobby’.

Having just come back to the worst place ever - Great Yarmouth - I would merrily be a snob!

Why? A premier inn is clean and comfy to sleep in with a shower and tea making What would I gain from paying lots more for a " high end" hotel

Could be a little snobby, but that's not a bad thing at all. It's entirely understandable to prefer some luxury

I’ve never really got the fuss about nice hotels. Have stayed in some eye wateringly expensive ones (that work have paid for), and after the initial ‘oooo this is nice!’ when you first walk in, which last 5 seconds- it’s then just a room, with a bed, maybe a desk which I don’t need, or a sofa, and a bathroom which honestly as long as it’s clean I couldn’t care less about. I’d never pay for an expensive hotel myself. Never been to Blackpool!

Blackpool is an absolute shit hole though, it’s not snobbery to point out the obvious

I've no desire to go to Blackpool as a pleasure beach doesn't rock my boat.
I've never stayed in a Premier Inn. No reason really other than wherever we go , there doesn't seem to be one where we stay. I gather that their beds are heavenly so would love to get the chance.

I would, however, decline a Premier Inn at Blackpool. Sorry.

No issues with premier inn but Blackpool , Skegness etc all a big NOOOO from me . As it’s butlins and anything related . If it comes across snob so be it but the people that go there are nit the people I need around me when trying to relax

How old are you? I loved Blackpool when I was a child, 40+ years ago! Now? No. But it's very different.

I’ve never understood the hate towards Blackpool. My in-laws live not too far away so when we go up to visit, we will usually stay either in Blackpool or the surrounding areas.

Rece had a Tussauds trip and to a local horse sanctuary (as recommended by a mumsnetter) which was truly lovely. Previous visits have been to the zoo, sea life, Stanley Park, circus in the tower and the arcades etc. Always something to do. Hen do’s and stag do’s yes, but you tend to avoid those in the day time and any other undesirable stuff is no different to a lot of UK cities.

I do stay in premier inns though although now I have a bit more money I'd rather a Hilton

This 100% I'm not a snob but I'd rather have pins stuck in my eyes than go to Blackpool.

Exactly this. I don’t think I’m ’better’ than Blackpool, it’s just not the sort of holiday I enjoy. And why would I spend my own hard earned money on a holiday I won’t enjoy, just so I’m not seen as a snob?

Not liking something doesn’t mean you think you are better than it? You just… don’t like it.

Each to their own. If you like it, go. If you don’t, don’t go.

It’s not for me.

I hate any type of snobby ness .. I don't know why people think they are better than something.. it's so weird !

Yes it’s snobbery!

So many snobs in this post....

Blackpool is fine. The people are fine and the Pleasure Beach is fabulous the fireworks competition is super as are the illuminations and good fish and chips everywhere!!! I haven't been for a few years cos I now live 3.5 hours away, but if I was nearer I'd go more often dedeffo.those complaining about it don't know how to have fun!

Ref Premier Inns and Travelodges, they're good standard hotels, I've stayed in worse for work , believe me.

Ref me - Id be classed as upper middle based on quals, job and income. I own timeshare at the best resort in Europe - 5* plus. Through this, we used to holiday 6-8 weeks pa when my DH was alive and the kids were younger. Now, we tend to cruise - this year it'll be 6 weeks cruising and multiple weekends away (already had 3 weekends away this year so probably another 3 or 4) in Prem Inns or Travelodges - seriously why pay through the nose if all toure doing is sleeping there? As long as its clean with no bed bugs all's good, surely🤔

The reality is people judge everything. Those of us who don't are def happier, believe me ;)

Never been to Blackpool , but after reading so many haters of the place by PPs on here , I want to go there and see it for myself !

I am a snob when it comes to hotel as I like cleanliness and comfort - I wouldn’t just stay anywhere - but will always stay in a premier inn. Consistently good, so if someone was a snob about staying at a premier inn I would consider that silly.
