Hotels in Longford with Swimming Pools

It doesn't take much to send your bar staff on a cocktail course and buy a ice crusher to make a margharita. Please don't advertise it if it can't be made. Very expensive too considering it tasted of soap and had big chunks of ice floating in it and a slice of lemon and not lime. I chose to stay for two nights as a destination hotel rather than 'just a hotel near the airport' so I suppose you could label a 'service' hotel but I have felt after being here for one day and one more night to go, it is not a place where people want to create or make relationships as I have felt it being rather a 'no' environment. I have done my best to be friendly but felt a little bit like more of a nuisance for wanting to create more relationships as a solo traveller especially when at 10 staff started to clear breakfast before I was even finished at 10.30 and then looked at a plate I had taken with me to my room as if to say 'you shouldn't be taking that' when it felt too uncomfortable to finish it in the main room. I may be unusual in my longer stay but I have still paid and a good customer and travel and stay in hotels a lot. The price is a good deal but that should still reflect good service. There should also be instructions on how to work the tv as I couldn't and then I met two ladies who had sat in the lounge for 4 hrs because they also couldn't work it so I helped them out. I train staff in friendliness and not saying they weren't but in my opinion, their needs to be a bit more approachability for a hotel near a major London airport with such incredible facilities such as a roof terrace overlooking the runway. It feels a bit like it has been forgotten and just left to be as it is as a very small part of the large Thistle Hotel Chain.

Checking into the Premier was easy. I walked down a corridor leading to the hotel area, found the Premier and met some nice folks who checked my reservation. However, I was a little surprised by the room. It me a minute to realize that 1) it was not what I ordered, and 2) the room adjacent to it was the room that I did order (a maid was working in there). The room I was in was for a person with a wheelchair handicap. But I was too tired to bother the staff regarding it, and kept the room. The wifi in that room was horrific - it kept going in and out repeatedly. The hotel's restaurant was both hit and miss. Some of the meals I ordered from there were spectacular. But I was disappointed by its version of fish and chips. The fish was severely overcooked, and the fries were cold. But I'd still eat there. Having a Costa Coffee in the place was a plus! They did provide some delicious drinks as well as an array or pre made sandwiches and cakes. A little pricey, but worth it. I did re-book, and in the process, was placed in a seventh floor room that included a refrigerator and access to the Premier Hotel's paid wifi. That wifi was admittedly better, but it was also a bit of a chore, having to input new access codes for each day I was there. But the room was definitely a step up from the other room. The staff there were very friendly, but there was one situation that almost made me miss my flight. I had an early flight to Germany, and had to go to another terminal. Unfortunately, whatever paid shuttle they had to take you from one terminal (I was in the Premier Inn Heathrow Airport - Terminal 4. My next flight was in Terminal 5) to another. I asked about catching it, and when I went to the waiting area, I never saw it. But I caught the free Airport shuttle and eventually got there. Overall, I would stay there again.

For those who need to go to Terminal 5, it's a pretty good choice for an overnight layover. Apart from the hotel restaurant, there's also a McDonald's nearby, and within walking distance, you can find delicious Turkish kebab. Just remember to pay attention to the bus schedule and the location of the bus stop for the next day to the airport. (We and other strangers who were also going to the airport originally waited for the bus across the hotel, but it didn't stop and drove away. We had to quickly check the information and walk to the bus shelter at the other end of the hotel.) In any case, I wish all travelers good luck.
