My stay at Premier Inn Carrickfergus was quite enjoyable, thanks to its prime location near the harbour and castle. The room was clean and comfortable, but I would’ve liked some air conditioning to combat the warm weather. Overall, great value for the price, especially with the dining options nearby.

I had a lovely stay at the Premier Inn Carrickfergus, with friendly staff and a beautiful location overlooking the waterfront. The room was clean and recently refurbished, providing a nice view, though it was a bit too warm for my liking. Dining next door at the Brewers Fayre was a highlight with delicious food. Overall, it was a wonderful experience, but the pillows could have been firmer.

I had a great two-night stay at Premier Inn Carrickfergus. The location was super convenient, with easy access to a supermarket and places to eat nearby. My room had a fantastic view of Carrickfergus Castle and the harbour. The only downside was that the rooms can get quite warm without air conditioning, especially on hot days. But overall, I found it to be a comfy stay with friendly staff and a nice atmosphere.

I had a mixed experience during my stay at Premier Inn Carrickfergus. The location is absolutely stunning with great views of the marina and the castle, which I loved. However, the room was too hot to sleep comfortably, and I found the overall maintenance lacking. The friendly staff and decent dining options were a plus, but some aspects felt dated.
