Lets have a little think. Oh yes, small hotels and B&B's lose staff, custom, profits, close. Whitbread profits grow. End of story!

Any word on an accompanying restaurant and bar in the plans? I haven't heard anything mentioned but I've never seen a premier inn without one yet.
Money wouldn't be getting invested if there weren't a market for it. And all the extra jobs will be good for all the folk that say they cannot work because there are no jobs for them.
How many long term positions will be created by a budget hotel?
We have stayed at many Premier inns/Travel lodges on our journey north and they offer excellent value for money.....If you dont know an area very well and unsure about the local hotels etc with the premier Inns you know what you are getting.....
If given permission Im certain this Inn will do very well as it might encourage visitors to stay who would otherwise pass through.
There has been a shortage of 'visitor beds' lately so surely this is a good thing and great to have new jobs created.
I agree, we stay in Premier Inns as well and you do get a good service and a comfortable room etc with very helpful staff.
I have stayed in the one on Gatwick airport North a few times and they would be my default setting for any trip away that needed a stop over.

Like most big businesses these days they'll all likely be part-time positions except for the management. Only way to keep costs low and profits fat

If these are the plans then there is someting wrong. The plans shows three stories for the Hotel, yet is is reported that the Hotel is planned for four Stories. Here is the Quote from the John O'Groats Journal :-
"The four-storey, 81-bedroom hotel will be situated on the former auction mart site at Ormlie Road."
Deep into that darkness peering, long I stood there, wondering, fearing, doubting, dreaming dreams no mortal ever dared to dream before.

Link to the documents section of Highland council if anyone want to read about what is proposed and see any objections
The part towards the college is that where they intent to put the filling station once hotel and restaurant up and running. Restaurant is on railway side but up college end of proposed building - if I am reading plans correctly.
dont see any mention of a filling station in the plans, its not really the MO of a premier inn

Agree with you it is not the normal for Premier Inn and I was surprised to read it somewhere on the plans - cannot seem to find it now but will check it out again later. Did read and check all the planning info and that was where I am sure I picked it up and was quite surprised.
