I can understand those who use this one to visit Alton Towers liking its location and ease to get in and out of by car, but if you are using it to visit Burton, don’t be fooled by the central tag. It’s a good 25 minute walk from Burton train station or a £5 to £7 taxi fare. It’s a standard fit Premier Inn over three floors ( fortunately with lift) , with a Beefeater next door acting as the restaurant facilities. We had a room on the third floor facing the Morrisons side and it was perfectly fine for a two night stay. Very quiet for us with next to no traffic noise and although the windows do not open, the air conditioning unit was quiet and efficient. The room was clean on our arrival but Premier Inn are still hiding behind Covid as an excuse not to service the rooms during the stay, which frankly in October 2022 doesn’t wash anymore and I would definitely think twice about using them for anything longer than a couple of nights. Very good service levels from the reception staff and replacement teas, coffees, towels e.t.c we’re available from there. If you have a fine weather day and fancy a walk along the Trent into town then there is a footpath that goes round the back of the Morrisons and will take you in the direction of the Riverside Pub via Clays...I can understand those who use this one to visit Alton Towers liking its location and ease to get in and out of by car, but if you are using it to visit Burton, don’t be fooled by the central tag.

If you have a fine weather day and fancy a walk along the Trent into town then there is a footpath that goes round the back of the Morrisons and will take you in the direction of the Riverside Pub via Clays Lane. From here you can pick up the footpath along the riverbank , along the edge of the greens of Branston Golf and Country Club all the way to Stapenhill Gardens and the Washlands Circular. The golf club don’t make it obvious and ignore the signs to stay to the gravel paths, but stick to the river and the small wooden posts as this is a public right of way and it’s a lovely walk on this section of the Trent.More
