Maria and her colleague were so helpful. I would say it was a lovely travel lodge and a big spacious room and one of the nicest looking travel lodge. We came down from Kent to visit our son and his family. Great nights sleep with a comfy bed.
Great restful stay this past weekend; (28/29 June). Marie on reception was a model of the friendly professional. A warm welcome, weather too.....We have been twice since May and with family connections in the area, will very likely be back. Thank you.
Probably one of the nicest Travelodge’s I’ve stayed in. We stayed for work and checked in after a busy day, reception was friendly and was able to make sure we had a top floor room. Room was decent size, bed was super comfortable = a great nights sleep! Free parking is always a bonus too.
The facilities are as expected at a Travelodge and are perfectly adequate. However, the walls are very thin. I have a baby crying in the room next to me most of the second night and therefore had a terrible nights sleep. Marie on front desk was fantastic in the morning and has issues an E-voucher refund as a thank you and apology. We all understand babies cry and I didn't want to cause a fuss. Everything else was great and Marie very professional.
The room was fine for the price. Clean enough and quiet enough. When arriving, at first blush the hotel looks almost abandoned; really gave us pause. Shrubbery covered in vines, weeds and grass a foot high, wooden siding decaying and in need of paint. A little attention to the outside of the building would make all the difference in the world; first impressions are very important.
Very clean Travel Lodge. All staff very friendly and knowledgeable. Special mention to Sue and Marie who have been excellent helping me in particular with my needs. Rooms spacious and comfortable. Basic tea and coffee facilities but adequate for needs. Well maintained outside gardens.
Our second visit and the Room was clean and adequate for two night stay. All the staff were friendly and helpful. We were able to eat at the Harvester adjacent to the Travel lodge for evening meal and breakfast. Would definitely be happy to stay there again
we have just come back from this Hotel and was very impressed at the level of service, especially Marie and Leeanna on reception they were both very friendly and helpful, a credit to the Hotel. The room was spacious and very clean. the Location is very good for surrounding areas to visit. There is a Harvester next door where you can get Breakfast and enjoy a meal in the evening would highly recommend to our friends and family. we shall be returning in the future.
