We read the reviews about this Hotel, but we hoped we would not experience the same problems as we could not find any other accommodation for us and our Dog at short notice. On arrival the Hotel seemed clean, and warm and we were checked into our rooms with no problem. We chose our rooms online as we wanted to be downstairs because of the Dog, and at the back because of road noise on the other side of the building. This was our first mistake, these rooms seem to be popular with guests who like to spend the entire night going in and out of their rooms, or having others knocking their door. There was noise outside from the outdoor seating area provided until about 2 a.m. and cars were coming and going all night. Not all of these were guests and there seemed to be some exchanges going on (probably Christmas Cards)? Having had no sleep I asked to be moved the next morning and the very helpful Vanessa sorted this out for me. For the price you pay the rooms are warm, clean and comfortable. Having paid an average of about £30 a night over a 5 night stay there is no complaint on that front. However, I do think Travelodge should think carefully about offering emergency accommodation to people, I assume via the local Council. These guests may have suffered trauma, domestic violence, displacement from families etc, so shoving them in a room on the outskirts of a town, surrounded by other guests who are probably not expecting them does not seem the best of ideas. Especially when there only seems to be a handful of staff on site and no security.
