Good - Amesbury (clean, decent hotel and very close to Stone Henge), Euston (great location, newly converted and very modern), Holyhead (very smart rooms and a good base to explore Anglesey), Brigton seafront (excellent location, decent rooms - some still to be refurbished though - and some sea views, across the roof of the cinema), Manchester airport (nothing special but right by the terminal) AVOID - Winceshester A34N (stinks!), Kings Cross (pretty facade but backs on to a VERY noisy railway!)

Yes, I'd avoid Kings Cross too. I ended up in the disabled room which was lovely and big but never heated up because radiator was totally inadequate. There was no phone in the room to contact reception and I was too tired to get dressed again to try and find someone to give me extra blankets or whatever. So I ended up being very cold. As for backing onto the railway, it actually seemed to run underneath my room and the room shook every time a train came. Noise doesn't usually bother me, but in this case I slept very badly indeed.

Recently went to Edinburgh Learnmouth and it has to be the best Travelodge i've been to.

In case it helps anyone else, after trying various dates and locations, I plumped for Chelmsford (http://www.travelodge.co.uk/search_and_book/hotel_overview.php?hotel_id=384).

Now have my fingers crossed that 4 nights for £76 will still feel :T when we're there!

Will update in late August...

not too long a walk from the station/town, but is on a busy roundabout/flyover so the view isnt too great, but who stays in a travelodge for the scenery :rotfl:

Smallish town, not much to do other than shopping, no nice 'walks' or touristy places that i can think of, unless you have access to a car

However good bus/train connections to other towns/london

This was an unusual Travelodge, in a new development which had obviously been hit by the recession, and was a lot quieter that planned. The hotel was new, the room we had was very spacious and light, but not used to the best advantage. There were no shelves or bedside tables; the lighting was poor; and the television was fixed to the wall in such a way that it could only be viewed from the bed!
Parking was no problem (free, on the sea front), but the notes on the website were not helpful, and the advice at reception came a bit late.
Caernarfon was lovely. From the hotel we could walk to the castle, to the town centre, and to Wetherspoons - what more could one ask?
We had a very enjoyable break, and would be delighted to go here again.

shelves and bedside tables are an additional cost that isnt necessary. there are normally alcoves in the headboard, or you can stand items along the top of it, if need be

the tv is designed to be watched from bed. Travelodge rooms are not meant to be places where you while away the hours, in a comfy chair, they are a place to rest your head. Tbh i can see travelodges removing tvs from the room at some point, as they par things down even further

we are taking our dog with us when we go to travellodge, finding it said they would accept pets was brill!
me and my hubby woudnt trust anyone to look after our dog never mind a kennels so is more like a child to us (we havnt got any kids),

so we have choose a travellodge by the sea so im sure she will have lots of fun

I have to agree with the person who responded to your post. You wouldn't let my child run around your bedroom at home covered in dirt and all sorts from outside but you are happy for your dog (which doesn't know how to wash, use toilet paper etc) stay in a room (even a bed) I might use tomorrow....

Disgusting - I never stay in hotels that allow pets, it just isn't right
