"Our recent stay at the Premier Inn in Carlisle during our UK road trip was a mix of convenience and disappointment. Booking through the app last minute was hassle-free, but upon arrival, we encountered parking issues as there were only two stalls left in a rather small lot. Street parking was available, but it meant walking a few blocks. Check-in was smooth thanks to a friendly and helpful staff member who warned us about the limited parking due to the hotel being full and a football game taking place at the hotel restrauant. This made dining at the hotel's pub a daunting prospect, so we opted to eat elsewhere. While the room itself was basic, it served its purpose as an affordable place to rest. However, the cleanliness left much to be desired. From afar, everything seemed tidy, but upon closer inspection, the bed sheets revealed two large stains, which was quite off-putting. Considering this is a well-known hotel chain, one would expect better attention to cleanliness and the immediate replacement of such soiled sheets. Additionally, the sheets didn't fit the bed properly, leaving a significant portion uncovered. Overall, our stay at the Premier Inn in Carlisle was adequate for a budget option, but the cleanliness issues were disappointing, especially for a branded hotel."
