Travel lodge £10 rooms

Doozergirl

I read manhattan's mini review on Covent Garden...is it really that bad?

Does anyone know what the Dockland's Travelodge is like?

I stayed at Battersea last week - it was clean (not great, but for a tenner?) but a bit out of the way. We visited our good friend who manages a restaurant on the River front at Canary Wharf and then went to Hamleys and to see the lights, so Docklands or Covent Garden should have been perfect location wise. I'd like to book again but Covent Garden or Docklands?

We stayed in the Docklands early May it was OK clean enough only about 5 minutes walk from the light railway happy enough apart from missing the tenner deals had to pay £26!

We have booked a ten pound room for next weekend at Bridgewater in Somerset. The reason its only a few miles from the Clarks discount shopping village. Everything is usually dirt cheap anyway but go there at sale time and you can't fail to get vfm.

Husband is not keen on shopping, so he leaves me there and goes to The Fleet Air Arm Mueseum which we both highly recommend - best to go on a clear day though.

At £26 rooms are a bargain,£10 is just a silly price - so grab them while you can - cheaper than the Youth Hostels. I am amazed at what some people expect, the rooms I have had are always clean,free or cheap parking and tea and coffee thrown in - not bad. Booked Brighton Christmas week, £10 a night with parking for £5 a day, ten minutes from Brighton Shopping Centre where it was £20 to park for the day! Travelodge for me any day. Would also recommend Innkeepers Lodge,often do a 3 nights for price of 2 and often an olde worlde pub with annexe. Also been told Holiday Inn do tenner rooms but yet to find them.

Have stayed at Docklands once. It's very big and impersonal. I think it says there's a car parking charge, but we didn't pay at a weekend.

As posted earlier, the DLR is nearby, so easy to get to the City-end of town. But would be quite a journey to the West End. Covent Garden would be a lot more convenient.

I have tried to book 2 rooms to stay at the same time at a travelodge near Manchester in July 2006 that has plenty of vacancies on the £10 deal but I am only getting offered 1 room at £10 and the other at £26.
Are others having the same "problem" and can anyone provide information to get around this problem so I can purchase 2 rooms for £10 each, thanks.

I am so pleased. Am going to New York travelling end of April and have managed to get the Travel Lodge for £10.00 for 3 adults. What with the discounted car hire for £20.00 for 1 day (drop of Heathrow) and a lift home this is much, much, cheaper than anything on offer from holidayextras etc. I keep checking for our summer holiday at Gatwick but the Travellodge is showing £55.00. However this is not bad for 4 persons.

Not sure what you mean by plenty of vacancies. If there are still vacancies on the date you want, have you tried making two separate bookings?

I am trying to avoid making separate bookings just in case the second room rate is not available to me at £10.
Has anyone else been successful with booking multiple rooms at the same time?
