The Premier Inn Weymouth Seafront is a 106-room budget hotel, a two-minute walk to Weymouth's Georgian seaside. Travelers considering the property should note it is not, as the name would imply, on the water. It is, however, very close to a resort town and family-friendly attractions like go-kart and sand sculpture parks. The rooms are clean, and modern and there's a large accessible room available. There is a pleasant, pub-like restaurant, and up to two kids 15-and-under stay free with a paying guest. For entertaining children on rainy days, there is an indoor ball pit and playscape. Guests seeking a stay in a similarly priced bed-and-breakfast in the area should consider the Langham Hotel, instead.

Scene
Family-friendly chain hotel with some features geared to business travelers
The Premier Inn Weymouth Seafront is a favorite for vacationing families and business travelers a like. The hotel is housed in a pale-yellow brick structure and is roomy and comfortable. Its lobby is plain and functional, with tile and carpeted flooring and a wooden reception desk backed by a wall in the Premier Inn chain's signature purple. Club chairs upholstered in a purple print offer some seating. There is no business center at this hotel, but there is a conference room for 25 people.
Location
By Weymouth Bay in a kid-friendly Georgian town
The Premier Inn Weymouth Seafront isn't actually by the seaside, but it's a two-minute walk to Weymouth Bay. The Weymouth railway station is a four-minute drive or a 17-minute walk to the hotel, and trains travel from London Waterloo to the town in about two hours and 45 minutes. The Bournemouth Airport is a one-hour drive away. The hotel is located in Lodmoor Country Park, home to Leisureranch, an amusement park that includes go-karts and bumper boats; reaching the park is a three-minute drive or an 11-minute walk. It is a six-minute drive from the hotel to Weymouth Sea Life Tower and the Pavilion Theatre. For a bit more character, guests should walk one minute to the fast-casual restaurant, Brewers Fayre, a cozy pub in the popular UK chain. With its rustic beams, washed brick walls, and fireplaces, the restaurant is an antidote to the bland decor of the hotel and dull sprawl of the parking lot surrounding it.

Bathrooms are white, with tile accents, bright lighting, roomy counters, large mirrors, and shower/tub combos. Hairdryers are provided.
