Premier Inn Coventry South (A45) hotel
Free-parking family rooms on the A45
About this hotel
Premier Inn Coventry South is the pick for families prioritising free parking and a short hop to The Wave over city-centre sights, sitting out along the A45 with an on-site restaurant and genuine en-suite family rooms. It's the only one of the chain's three Coventry properties near the park that pairs its budget rate with complimentary parking rather than a paid space, making it the default choice for a family driving in from outside Coventry and planning most of the trip around the waterpark. The on-site restaurant covers dinner without anyone needing to get dressed again after bath time, and the family room configuration genuinely suits a group of four or five rather than a squeezed standard double.

Our take
This suits budget-conscious families driving in from outside Coventry who want free parking and a short journey to The Wave above all else. It's a purely practical base rather than a characterful one, so families wanting more of a sense of place should look toward Old Mill or The Jacobean instead.
- ✓Book the family room specifically at reservation, since standard doubles here are priced and allocated differently.
- ✓Add breakfast at booking rather than at check-in, since the on-site rate runs higher than the pre-booked price.
- ✓Reserve several weeks ahead for school holidays, as this is one of the closest free-parking budget rooms to the park.
