I recently stayed for two nights at Premier Inn Aberdeen South - Portlethen and had a great experience overall. The check-in was easy and the staff were consistently friendly and helpful. My room was spacious and clean, with a comfortable bed that made for restful sleep. However, there were a couple of hiccups, including early morning noise from deliveries that woke me up and the absence of a lift to the first floor, which was a bit surprising.

My stay at the Premier Inn Aberdeen South - Portlethen was pretty solid overall, but there were a few hiccups. The check-in was a bit slow since only one person was at the reception when everyone arrived at once. The room was comfortable and clean, but the TV was on the smaller side. I also wish they'd provided more coffee options. Still, the location is excellent with a pub next door, and I'd definitely consider staying here again.
