Come Stay at the Travelodge Wolverhampton

Advantages: Pretty Cheap, Clean
Disadvantages: Dodgy Swipe cards, misleading room images on website

...Limehouse Lizzy were playing in Wolverhampton, so, as my boyfriend?s house was an expensive taxi ride away and it was valentines we decided to make a weekend of it. (Yes, in Wolverhampton: P) We booked online (http://www.travelodge.co.uk/searchandbook) and chose the saver rate, it is cheaper but non refundable should you have to cancel. The rooms are all standard images on the website but can be much different as we found out when we stayed in the Oldham Travelodge a few months later. This one had been taken over from a once fancy hotel and was quite run down. It was clean but not exactly modern. The booking process is simple the site takes you through room requirements and an extras page. Some of these can extras can be expensive. You have to register with the site when you book, but it doesn?t take too much time. Despite...

Travelodge Droitwich

Advantages: A great place to stay
Disadvantages: None really

...When we were having some work done to our home, we found ourselves in absolute chaos. It was so bad it wasn't even liveable, so we decided to up sticks and pack a couple of bags and escape for a couple of nights. We have a few 'posh' hotels near our home in Worcestershire, all of which were out of our budget so we opted for our local travelodge in Droitwich. The Travelodge in Droitwich is conveniently situated just off Junction 5 of the M5 in Worcestershire. When exiting the motorway simply head down the A38 (Rashwood Hill) to Droitwich town centre and it is located around 1/2mile down this road on the right hand side. It is also just two miles from Droitwich train station too. For those with a sat nav system the postcode for this Travelodge is WR8 0BJ. The lodge is situated in quite a quiet part of Worcestershire and although you...

Travelodge Ashford

Advantages: Quiet and comfy
Disadvantages: Car Park

...We arrived at the Travelodge late in the evening, so it wasn?t the bustling place you?d normally associate with a Travelodge. First impressions were that this lodge was quite a bit larger than any others I?d stayed in, but since it was the closest to the Channel Tunnel that wasn?t really surprising. The car park, although large, was fairly packed, and we managed to grab two of the last few spaces available, but these were a long way from the door, so it was a bit of a trek with overnight bags. Something we could have easily done without after sitting in a car for just over 9 hours. Once in the Travelodge, there was a bar and eating area to the right, but this was fairly empty with just couple of people say at the bar. A lone receptionist was very pleasant, but took an absolute age to find our booking on the system. She had to go...

Travelodge Leatherhead

Advantages: Quiet
Disadvantages: Hard to find, no parking, items missing from rooms

...Our night in the Travelodge in Leatherhead turned out to be quite a stressful occasion. Finding the Hotel This is where the stress began, according to the invoice printed off from Travelodge, simply typing the postcode into a satnav, or onto an online route planner will be sufficient. Unfortunately this directs you to a shopping centre car park. As we arrived approximately 11pm on a Saturday, this car park was obviously empty, and there was no one around to ask directions. So we drove a little further on and spotted a Dominoes Pizza takeaway that was still open. They allowed me to look at the map and pointed out the way around the town?s one way system. So off we went again, we followed the directions and ended up on a pedestrianised way, but there were other vehicles using it, and seemingly after certain times the pedestrian...

Bradford Travelodge - I do!

Advantages: Basic but good budget accommodation; easy for non-drivers to get to
Disadvantages: A little way from centre of city; no breakfast other than packaged tray type

...Plans for a weekend break to Bradford (yes, really) arose from a Travelodge promotion in which room prices started at just £5 a night. I was looking for ideas for the OH?s birthday and wanted a destination that wasn?t too far away and where the Travelodge wasn?t in the middle of nowhere; Bradford seemed possible. Although I wasn?t able to get the cheapest rate, I was happy enough with a charge of £19 per night for the room. While this Travelodge isn?t ?in the middle of nowhere?, neither is it in the centre of the city. However, as curry was to be the central theme of the weekend, and the hotel is situated in the suburb of Thornbury which has many highly recommended restaurants, I didn?t mind too much that the location wasn?t central. There were frequent buses to the city centre, a journey that takes only ten minutes and New Pudsey...

Travelodge Ashford : Good Value

Advantages: Good travel links, good location
Disadvantages: Rooms could have done with updating

...I stayed at this hotel for two nights either side of a trip to France in October 2008 and found it to be a decent hotel for the purpose of our trip. We had stayed at a Premier Inn the previous year and didn't particularly like it, so based on a previous stay with Travelodge we decided to book with them. I had done some research and the hotel itself was located on a leisure park just off the motorway. It has a Little Chef, KFC, Frankie & Benny's and Pizza Hut for food and a cinema, health and fitness club and a couple of nightclubs for entertainment. I liked the idea of staying somewhere where there was several choices for food within walking distance, which was not too far from the ferry port at Dover. We arrived at about 7pm when there was quite a lot of activity, people coming in and out, but we were checked in quite quickly...

Don't Try To Lodge A Complaint

Advantages: Good security, pub next door
Disadvantages: No free parking, poor reception staff

...The Travel Lodge chain of hotels has long held a sort of sleazy and tacky connotation that it doesn?t really deserve, its ?cheap and cheerful? outlook making it the Skoda of the hotel world. But just as Skoda is now looked upon with something of a grudging respect, Travel Lodge has in recent years also undergone a renaissance ? in the no nonsense ?noughties? the functional practicality of Travel Lodge is OK?its still cheap and cheerful and you get what you pay for, but if all you are after is a bed for the night you could do a lot worse. I?ve stayed in Travel Lodges around the country and been quite happy with them. Until I stayed at York Piccadilly? There are 240 Travel Lodges situated around the country, mostly on motorways and A-Roads (in my experience its best not to expect a view unless you are really keen on service...

Angelus and his dirty weekend away

Advantages: Decent Security and Housekeeping
Disadvantages: Shame about the Reception Staff and Location though

...Now I'll warn you now - I'm not the greatest of Hotel-Goers, I'm one where as long as there's a bed and a roof, I'm happy, but when she who must be obeyed and I decided to go to York for a few days (culminating in a good ole Paddy's Night P**s-up) it was obvious that it had to be a decent hotel - and with it being short notice - the only half decent hotel with vacancies was the Travel Lodge on Piccadilly, so of course - a booking was made and before you knew it I was destined to spend 4 nights there. ** Booking Process ** All done online at http://www.travellodge.co.uk, which is an easy enough site to navigate thats not too displeasing on the eye - all you do is pick which branch you want to visit by searching for the Town Name or Postcode of the area you're going to stay in, then add details of what type of room you're wanting...

Tried and tested Travelodge

Advantages: excellent location and good value for money
Disadvantages: outside noise, don't use the Wi-fi

...I recently stayed in the Plymouth Travel lodge at Derry?s cross with my partner and if it's good value, clean, comfortable accommodation you're after then for £39 (from £19 if booked in advance) per night the Travelodge offers exactly that. We had to travel down to Plymouth to visit family at very short notice and our main concern was finding a place to stay on a tight budget, we literally booked the night before our stay and compared to the b&b's in the area The Travelodge was very competitively priced. If you have ever stayed in any other Travelodge you should expect exactly the same from this one as they pretty much look like exact replicas, with a bed, desk and chair and en suite bathroom. For us this was most definitely a plus point as there were no nasty surprises with regards to cleanliness or comfort etc. Also being disabled I...

travelodge belfast

Advantages: cheap clean rooms
Disadvantages: quite basic

...When looking for somewhere to go for my hen night (or weekend as it turned out to be) I wanted somewhere cheap not just for me but for the others as well, as most of them are on budgets too. I scowered the internet and came up with two nights including flights with a well known budget airline for £90. Bargin we said and booked it. As we were a group booking I was unable to do this on the Travelodges website so I had to phone the main reservations up. This was a simple thing to do as my call was answered very quick and rooms booked all in approximatly 5 minutes. Then everything else was done via email such as booking forms, confirmations etc. When we got to Belfast we took a taxi to the Travelodge on first impressions it seemed fine and the recepionist was very smiley. As we arrived in the morning our rooms weren't ready so we were...
