Premier Inn Glasgow Braehead
Glasgow|2.1km from Spiral Hill Flagpole
Booked this hotel because I’d heard good things about their broccoli dishes. Imagine my surprise when we sat down for dinner we were promptly told, ‘we’ve nae broccoli’. This instantly put a dampener on things and what also put a dampener on things was the constant rain we had. It rained solid for a week. Now I get that’s not the Premier Inns fault as Scotland, especially the west of Scotland is known for being rather moist. Next night we were greeted by a cheery chappy called Kevin who again informed us of the lack of broccoli much too my chagrin. He kindly offered to plant some at the side of the hotel so we could get our broccoli fix but after survey o turf it was deemed to swampy for the seeds to take, plus the likely hood of it growing to an adult size portion in the two short weeks I was staying there was probably slim but the thought was there for sure. Broccoli aside, the hotel was comfortable, staff we mostly pleasant, shout out to Shannon who helped us out with the WiFi which was intermittent to say the least but they were transitioning to a new system by all accounts. The £15 I spent on ultimate wifi was a waste of time as i couldn’t log in. The last two days there was a rather unhelpful lady on the desk (hence the 4 stars) who didn’t seem bothered about my wifi situ and went on to say she had worked in many hotels and the wifi at this particular branch was probably the best. Fine if it let you log on I suppose, I told her I’d used 20gb of data on my phone data she wasn’t for moving, printing off a code would’ve been nice but even though I showed her my receipt she lacked compassion and muttered something about ******, which of course I’m not, I’ve had my fare share of birds let me tell thee. Big shout out to Ronnie behind the bar who was off to the big game, hopefully he enjoyed watching his team win 3-3 at the nearby football stadium. Think there was a parade of the ‘we won the second half cup’ the next day but I couldn’t attend due to work commitments. Back home now and have been overdosing on broccoli as it seems the local Aldi has so much of the green stuff, they sell it. Maybe Premier Inn should do their shopping there, they’d probably save themselves a few bob as I got a big back for 89p. Also big should out to Kevin for swapping my nights about.
Very Good
