Nine times out of ten, you can't go wrong with a premiere inn. This is true of the Premier Inn Manchester Salford Quays Hotel. We booked a Premiere Plus room and wasn't disappointed. The room was very clean and the facilities good too. We were on the top floor and the views across Media City were great. (We could even see Coronation Street!) A few little niggles though, (and I have never had these niggles before at the many Premiere Inns that we have stayed in.) On arrival, we asked if there were an early check in for our room. We were told that they couldn't accommodate us, which was fair enough and the staff member let us store our case, but then said, "OK, I must go, I need my breakfast" which seemed a little curt and off she went. Next morning breakfast was hectic ! We did go down around 8:30 so maybe it was "rush hour". We waited around five minutes to find a seat then tried to get something to eat. There were no cups for the tea and coffee and also no spoons or side plates but they did arrive after a few people asked. The old Premiere toaster lived up to it's reputation and took quite a while to brown the bread. The next problem was the lack of bacon for guests which formed another queue. The single person behind the counter did their best but was overwhelmed by the sheer number of guests. The black pudding was...Awful. The eggs very greasy but the scrambled variety was palatable if not a little watery. There was also a lack of brown sauce and ketchup so we had to take some from another table. To be fair, again, there was a shortage of staff and it rather spoiled things for us but all in all, they were trying their best under difficult circumstances. All in all, not the best Premiere Inn experience we have had but it hasn't put us off using their hotels in the future.
