Lovely staff. Clean rooms. Nice menu. Right by a ton of shops, a restaurant and a KFC. Great showers & sinks. So so radiator.
Great service at reception as always. Stayed here before and if need be, will again.
Excellent service from Sam on the front desk and help from Claire. Room wonderfully clean and everything you need.
Staff were amazing, couldn't help enough and couldn't fault them! The shower has amazing water pressure, and is high so tall people can easily use. However, the beds are so unbelievably uncomfortable, the rooms have very very thin walls, so we didn't get much sleep at all. But for the price, can't really complain. And the staff truly were wonderful!
I booked a room which was kept for us on the ground floor thanks Claire was good value as it was just a one night stop over everything you need clean quiet and in the right place was greeted by sam very friendly and polite and answered all our questions the travel lodge its self doesn't do food but 30 metres away is a very nice restaurant and a 5 min drive for breakfast and fuel the rest of the staff was friendly and polite if travelling that way in the future will definitely use again thank you
Stayed here last month for a long weekend. Apart from a issue with the bathroom light, which to be fair, wasn't bad, everything was great
Our stay was great. Sam at the reception was very helpful and nothing was to much. Thank you.
Staff were excellent, offered to help with our luggage at check-in (Sam). Lindsay fixed our Hand wash and Light not working, and quickly. Many thanks!
