Good location but a little too crowded and aging
It is a large hotel, conveniently located. The hotel has restaurants on the property plus several within walking distance.
On the negative side, the hotel interior is rather old and showing its age. The lobby is often crowded and noisy.

Not great but nice…
I have stayed here before. The staff is always friendly and we got upgradet, but unfortunately we were to close to the train tracks and the noise was very loud. We woke up early because noise from the trains and our neighbours. The walls are very thin.

Poor sleep - too noisy
The hotel itself is fine with comfy beds, good shower and great location. The only problem was the hotel is so noisy. The heating was loud so couldn’t be on making the room cold. The noise from guests outside the hotel was loud and went on until very late. There was also an awful squealing noise outside on the last night which we couldn’t work out what it was. All this resulted in 3 terrible night sleep.

Birthday stay
The staff on reception were good. But the room safe didn't work because it was locked open and the shower door needs sealing round the door. And the kettle needs a longer lead so it can reach the socket so you don't have to put it on the floor. But would stay here again

Terrible bathroom conditions
Toilet flush was bad. Sink didn’t drain and backed up. Entrance light was not working. Didn’t have a new toilet role for new room occupants. Very disappointed and dissatisfied.

Midweek stay 2 rooms
Rooms were ok but dated. Reception were very good and responsive. Big disappointment was the Brasserie restaurant; overcooked food, very poor service and complaints ignored.

Adequate hotel.
Perfectly adequate for a night. Very dated and needs refurbishment badly but front desk were very helpful and efficient. Location is superb and ticks enough boxes as long as one expects it to be at a low level like premier inn. Set your expectations higher and you will be disappointed.

Tara hotel .
Our stay was made by the hotel greeter at the door of the hotel. This gentleman was friendly and efficient . He helped me park my car in the tiniest of spaces and then ensured that we were pointed in the correct direction for the front desk.
We were able to check into one of our rooms early which was easy and efficient. The room clean and comfortable . The second room at 3pm i gave up on until the evening, as the line ups were long and slow to check in . The second room 1234 was very nice, but could have done with a little more attention to detail when cleaning the bathroom. The car parking on the lower ground floor does need to be looked at . Parking is very tight. I had to climb across to the passenger side to get out of my car. Not ideal for a 67 year old lady. A minor fault . A very nice hotel which we will return to again . Second stay. Great area to stay for sightseeing. Tube close by .
