If your boyfriend promised you a nice night away and took you to a premier inn.....

[neettfeet]

Would you be disappointed?

[Dyrne]

As it’s just a base I think it’s fine; and sensible to book somewhere central where it’s easy to get around rather than a fancy place that’s in the middle of nowhere. There’s no real point in spending lots on a hotel if all you’re doing is shagging, sleeping and showering there.

(Though I would say Budget hotels aren’t always the cheapest option any more and I’ve stayed in some lovely character B&Bs for much cheaper!)

I do look at all these posters demanding something better and hope that they spend just as much money occasionally treating their other half as they demand is spent on them…

Sounds perfect and a fab location.

Newcastle hotels are EXPENSIVE

[MercedesBenz]

It is a great location ! Right by the Tyne , great bars , sun morning market ,
Who cares re premier inn , you will hardly spend any time there anyway
Newcastle is buzzing ,you will be out and about

[Hollyhead]

No I wouldn’t if it was a base - much better than spending £££ on somewhere you’ll barely be.

[CosmicComfort]

I’m long time married but we love a premier inn.
You know exactly what you will get so no surprises and are often in great locations for an inexpensive amount.

I wouldn’t be disappointed.

[CurlyWurly321]

I really like premier inns, if it's just for the sleep.

It doesn't need to be fancy if all you're doing in there is sleeping/shagging.

[girlmom21]

I think he's been really thoughtful in that case and you'll have a lovely time!

[WhyOhWhyOhWhyyyy]

I’d be secretly disappointed, a nice hotel is an important part of a break for me. Although I would never say anything if he’d gone to the effort of organising a weekend away.

[TheOnlyLivingBoyInNewCross]

That sounds gorgeous!

In answer to the original question, I wouldn't be disappointed because I'm not a spoiled princess.

What hotel did you book last time you took him away though? Because if you're shelling out for the Savoy or similar and he books a Premier Inn when it's his turn, then I concede that he might be taking the piss.

[ILiveInSalemsLot]

I’d be happy with that. In fact I’d prefer to save money at the hotel if it means I can get away more often.

[Caliexpidocioussuper]

I love a PI. I’d be pleased he hadn’t wasted money on a hotel 3 times the price but that offers the same. Every PI I’ve ever been to has been spotlessly clean with comfy beds and a good sized room. Perfect.

[AdelindSchade]

This wouldn't bother me at all. If he,d booked an out of town one I might have beenannoyed. Nothing wrong with a central Premier Inn for a city break like this and spend the money saved on the cocktails and food.

Can't take an answer to a question on a public forum eh?

Scroll on past if you don't like the reply.

You have a fantastic day too. Hope you get everything you deserve today. Xx

[Generallystruggling]

Nope, not unless the plan was to literally stay in a premier inn with nothing else planned.

[soupmaker]

That's absolutely perfect OP. More £ to spend on enjoying yourselves. It's a great location. I've stayed in the Newcastle Premier Inn nearer St James' Park. It's an old 1930s building with lots of character and original features. Loved it. Have a great time. We love Premier Inns.

[TolkiensFallow]

To be honest hotels are so expensive at the moment that if you are getting a night away and cocktails etc it’s a nice treat

[ChateauxNeufDePoop]

@neettfeet

Sorry everyone I fell asleep 🙈
The plan is to go to Newcastle next Saturday for the day /night.
It's the one on the quayside.
Going for food and cocktails around Newcastle.
He said he booked as it's in a good location.

Sounds fab. For a city break a great location counts for a lot and they aren't exactly squalid shoe boxes. If you were going somewhere more countryside based and would be spending longer in the hotel then possibly I could see a reason for disappointment.

[Strugglingtodomybest]

If you're only going for one night, and you're planning to be out for most of it, then I think it's ideal. It's not like you'd have time to use a swimming pool or other facilities in a posher hotel. The location sounds perfect too.

[Dozer]

That plan sounds good!

[catwithflowers]

Ahh, you'll have a great time! The Premier Inn is in a fab location and Newcastle is fun and buzzing, loads of good restaurants and bars! 🍾 🥂

[fluffythedragonslayer]

No. I love a premier inn. DH and I are trying to book a weekend away in Brighton and I'm sad because the premier inn is really expensive! Prem Inn always my go to. My kids love a Premier Inn too we've stayed all over the UK in them!

[daytripper28]

@neettfeet

Why do you ask if anyone else would be disappointed? It doesn't matter what we think.

I'd be very happy to stay away on a trip like that - for whatever that's worth.

Maybe for you anything less than a 5 star hotel etc just isn't good enough? If you're so insecure you can't decide if you're disappointed or not then yeah, you're hard work. It's official.

[AwkwardSquad]

Sounds good to me. Great location, and I like Premier Inn. I’ve paid a lot more for a lot less (Manchester ‘boutique hotel’, I’m looking at you…)

[TweetyPieBird]

Sounds like he’s planned some nice things to do together. If you want to sleep in a fancier hotel then why don’t you pay? I’m assuming he’s paying for the hotel, food, cocktails etc?

[Wiredforsound]

That sounds fantastic. A night out in Newcastle with dinner and drinks and a comfy quiet bed at the end of the night sounds perfect.

If it was a trip to a hotel on the M6 just outside Stoke, not so much.
