Advertising regulator bans Premier Inn advert
The Advertising Standards Authority has reprimanded hotel chain Premier Inn for a ‘misleading’ online advert.
The ASA banned the ad which promoted Premier Inn Edinburgh rooms ‘from only £35 a night.’
It was ‘likely to mislead’ customers, the advertising standards regulator said.
Premier Inn said there were 377 rooms on offer at the stated offer price over the course of a year.
The ASA said the ad suggests a significant proportion of rooms at the hotel would be available at the price but the reality was very few were.
The regulator was alerted to the ad by a complaint from a consumer who couldn’t find any dates when the offer was available.
“We told Premier Inn to ensure that when using ‘from’ price claims in the future, a significant proportion of the advertised rooms were available at the advertised price,” the ASA said.
