Great 'Best Travelodge Holidays' Hunt: Which travelodge's offer the perfect get away?

We stayed in the Plymouth city centre one over Christmas-very central but in a quiet street opposite a cinema and well placed for walking along the coast path, getting to Cornwall by the ferry or cycling along lovely railway paths. Plenty of cheap eating places and pubs nearby.

My vote would go to Travelodge "docklands" we had a great stay there and it was good for getting around London after you travel to Tower Gateway...or easy to get to Greenwich and Canary Wharf etc (cheap theatre tickets available from a booth on the centre platform); having used quite a few travelodges I always try to go for one with a Bar/Cafe area. I also liked "Kings Cross" for London as well...worst ones have been Birmingham Broad Street and Dumfries in Scotland...both smelly and dirty.

For those of you referring to Birmingham central being a dump, there is a very nearly new lodge at the Five Ways Island (Ladywood Middleway) which is 10 mins walk from the broad street areas. I have stayed there twice and it was fine on both occasions.

We've stayed at a few travelodges, the one at Droitwich, although needing a bif of modernising is small and friendly.
Heathrow T5 is ideally located for the airport and my kids were fascinated by the planes over head all the time! It was a perfect base for visiting local attractions - Chessington, Legoland and Windsor. The hotel itself was clean and fresh.
We're off to Sunbury on Thames this summer - can't really moan about any of them for £9 a room its such a bargain!

Why would anyone think it was OK to take a pet into a hotel room - other people especially who may have allergies do not need pet hair in their hotel room. It is unsanitary. Put them in kennels or do not bring them but for an animal to sleep in a hotel room is pretty distasteful.

I think the more they charge the better to reduce this happening

HI

TRavelodge have increased their "PET" charges for dogs by 100% from February 2009.

It now costs £20 per stay per pet which can easily out shine their Sales Rooms at £9 for 3 adults!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Travelodge have also been charging some customers per pet per night so always carry their terms and conditions as its new extortionate rate is per pet per stay.

Another vote for Bath, lovely view from the rear of the building over towards the Cathedral. Was clean, quiet and right in the centre of town.

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

Budget hotel chain Travelodge's often runs super cheap £9 or £19 room deals (see Travelodge Sales deals note). So we wanted to tap MoneySavers knowledge to find the best locations for a quick break, whether town or country. Have you found a particularly ideal lodge?

This is just as much about the location as the quality of the lodge. Please also include things to do in the area if you can.

Please click reply to add your ideas and suggestions.

Travelodge Sales is a dead link

My vote too for the Edinburgh one - so central and bonus was it was opposite a fab Veggie restaurant David Banns for dinner each night!
Very friendly staff there too.

London wise have stayed in Covent garden (the HIgh Holborn one) several times great rooms as in clean, spacious and if 13th floor fab views, great location too. Got Euston booked next month in the sale so looking fowrard to that one with the location being so useful.

Have stayed 3 times at Marylebone - in need of some work now but good location and comfy room (but you sometimes need to ask for another room to get a good one there) Farrington and the Kings cross one - ok but bit dated now, not my faves but if £9/£19 a night its fine. City Road is a modern one too.

Other ones Ive stayed in are Worcester which was fine, Bristol opposite a building site but ok, Cardiff - ok and Liverpool again ok.

Im trying the Brighton seafront one in August for a few nights:D

I never book the breakfasts in the Travelodges as cant see them ever catering for vegans!

awful time at Kew Bridge a year ago, mainly due to guy in opposite room swearing, making aggressive noises & threating to hurt/shoot his (partner) all night. No staff available on reception to alert, unsure whether to call police (didn't but our family lay awake all night).

Our room had a damaged wall between bathroom and bedroom so assume these type of people stay there quite often......
