Would you be disappointed?

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?

Hawkmoth · 24/09/2021 23:15

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

RosesandPumpkins · 24/09/2021 23:16

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.

notacooldad · 24/09/2021 23:16

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

DismantledKing · 24/09/2021 23:17

Nothing wrong with a Premier Inn

turnthebiglightoff · 24/09/2021 23:17

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

Was the night before the hotel good?

Workinghardeveryday · 24/09/2021 23:17

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....

Evesgarden · 24/09/2021 23:18

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?

hashbrownsandwich · 24/09/2021 23:18

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

FizzyPink · 24/09/2021 23:19

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

Row1n · 24/09/2021 23:20

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

Theunamedcat · 24/09/2021 23:21

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

MorriseysGladioli · 24/09/2021 23:21

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

RealhousewifeofBarnardCastle · 24/09/2021 23:21

I’d dump him immediately

SleepingStandingUp · 24/09/2021 23:22

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

But like the others said, context is everything.

OuiOuiBonjour · 24/09/2021 23:23

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.

DancingintheSpoonlight · 24/09/2021 23:23

I'd love a change of scenery...

ftw163532 · 24/09/2021 23:24

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.

CiaoForNiao · 24/09/2021 23:26

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

bethabean · 24/09/2021 23:26

No! I don't mind where we go together as we always have the best time wherever

Imnothereforthedrama · 24/09/2021 23:26

No I like the premier inn you get a nice breakfast.

ElizabethinherGermanGarden · 24/09/2021 23:27

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

StarryStarrySocks · 24/09/2021 23:28

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

Teapiggies · 24/09/2021 23:28

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

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