Premier Inn

I choose 2 stars and as the Unilocal strap line says «Meh. I’ve experienced better»
I generally stick with premier inns as you know what you are getting — and thats a clean room with a comfy bed and decent bathroom. Thats what I got here. However the staff were not as nice as other premier inns I have stayed in recently, the lady checking me in wasnt bothered in my opinion. The £8.00 breakfast wasnt good and we were the first ones down so it should have been cooked to order really. The pub next door is handy but be warned its rough — Basildon as a whole is a «lively» town and you do need to keep your wits about you. The Pub is called the watermill and consists of a small bar area and a small eating area — i dont recomend either.
I was with a couple of local lads so felt OK — I can see some more timid out of towners being intimidated by the edgy atmosphere. There is another Premier Inn in Basildon at the festival lesure park — its much better than this one at East Mayne. If I am stuck then I would stay here again but I know what to expect in the pub.
