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.

Why guests love itWe booked this purely for the free parking and the short drive to The Wave, and it did exactly what we needed without any surprises. The family room fit all four of us without anyone sleeping on a pull-out sofa, and the on-site restaurant meant dinner was sorted on the nights nobody had the energy to go looking elsewhere. It's not a memorable stay, but it was the most straightforward budget option we found near the park.
