Stayed overnight to attend a funeral. Our room was OK, but noise from the road disturbed our sleep. A couple of friends also stayed and barely got any sleep due to this. The entrance to the hotel was difficult to find and the car park was full of pot holes.

Disappointing stay

Firstly, Travelodge messed up my travel dates, as they had booked my stay for the following weekend, to what was originally selected at the point of booking. This wasn’t made clear to me until I arrived at the hotel. Once at the hotel, I was told that I would need to contact head office, to sort the matter. Head office weren’t at all helpful, and informed me that if I wanted to stay at the hotel, on that evening, I would have to pay an additional £30. This was absolutely astonishing; but given that I had already arrived at the hotel, I had no choice but to pay it. 

When booking online, be careful that Travelodge don’t change your reservation dates. 

Once in the room, I found it to be unclean. Mould around the bathtub, dirty sink etc. The bed’s mattress was old, and wasn’t the comfiest to sleep on. 
Worst of all, however, was that the safety latch on the room’s window was broken. This is a health and safety issue, which should have been addressed before allowing a guest into the room. 

When I mentioned these issues to reception, they seemed rather disinterested. 

In terms of location, the hotel is off the A12, so it can be noisy. This didn’t bother me, as I had already anticipated for it. It’s just something to be made aware of, as the windows aren’t all soundproof. 

In terms of local eateries, Uber Eats & Deliveroo don’t cover this area. Just Eat has a limited selection of restaurants available for this area, but, all of these have a minimum spend of at least £20, which isn’t cost effective for a solo traveller, such as myself. 

You have a Starbucks & petrol station located across the road, so these are an option for you, in terms of food/drinks. But, again, I personally found these establishments to be on the pricier side, given that this is classed as a service area. 

I personally wouldn’t stay at this hotel again.

Disappointing!

I didn't have my room cleaned for 2 days, I was very disappointed, it was one of the worst experiences I ever had also, the windows should be better insulated, there was a lot of noise due being close to the motorway 

Not recommended

Quick one night stop over very happy value for money I haven't used travel lodge for years but will be doing so in the future warm clean convenient helpful staff would have stayed an extra night if work commitments allowed 

Very happy value for money stay 

I know it's a budget chain and I don't expect luxuries, but it was just not clean enough for me to feel comfortable, and I won't be staying there again.  Bed  was made up so that the top of the mattress protectior was exposed.

A bit grubby

Always a lovely stay at this Travelodge, staff are always polite and friendly and couldn't be more helpful and rooms always clean  
A12 is not a problem and the turkish restaurant across the road is very nice. Would always preferably stay at this hotel .

Perfect Perfect Perfect 

This travel lodge is next to constant traffic A12 unable to open windows due to noise levels unable to sleep not good stay away don’t go l live out of area no warning on web page requested half monies paid to be refunded not using this travel lodge no air on tempersturecwas 30 degrees unable to use windows fan was supplied but again noise 

Stay Away

If you need asleep be warned. Heavy noise from traffic coming from the main road all night, and remember this is a stop over for commuters so the car park is constantly in use outside.  I suggest you request a room furthest away from the road and car park if you want to sleep.

Noisey

Basic clean and quiet accommodation.
The hotel is a little outdated but still perfectly functional. It was clean and quiet from the traffic. The hotel was very easy to access from the A14 and parking was easy.

Travelodge accommodation
