Location & Accessibility: Situated near the M62 motorway and within walking distance of Huddersfield town centre; free parking available for registered vehicles.

Let's start with the good points. The room was clean, the bed comfortable and the room had a couple of decent powered fans in it. The breakfast was good and the staff were friendly. Now the negative points. Don't stay in this hotel during a heatwave. The windows are tiny, stuck in a corner and, as with many hotels, barely open. According to the hotel room thermostat, the air temperature in the room was 28 degrees, which dropped 1 degree over night. There is no air conditioning (this was made clear at the time of booking). The nearest powerpoint to the bed was on the opposite side of the room. The shape of our room was such that this was further away than in most Premier Inns I've stayed in, which meant that we did not get as much benefit from the fans as you might expect. It also meant that it was impossible to have a phone on charge alongside the bed. I know that some of Premier Inns hotel stock is older, but in a world with increasingly warm summers, you really need to look at better cooling. The staff provided sheets to replace the duvet and the fans did make some difference, but this is a place to be avoided in a heatwave.

Bed comfortable but no air conditioning, no fridge and no bar and restaurant due to it being updated. Wish we could have been informed about this as we would have found somewhere else to stay especially when it cost twice the normal amount for the Saturday to stay.
