    Can't really say I've stayed at a bad one when you take into account the price paid for the rooms. If I had to pick a 'worst' one then probably Gatwick Airport last year but that was because the building looked old and the lift didn't work (was on the third floor). Having said that, at £26 for a double room I was still very happy with what I got for what I paid.

    Like most chain hotels they are very much the same (it is simultaneously the benefit and disadvantage of large chains, go to anyone anywhere and you know to a 95% certainty what exactly it will be like).

    Have to say it is very rare that I have stayed in one but they represent good value for money but at the same time they are obviously budget hotels.

    I have stayed at a few that were damp with mould in.
    I was doing it on the £5 "fiver frenzy" or £10 offers so I didn't feel any need or right to complain, however I think I would be a little dissapointed if I were paying full price.

    We stayed at one in Edinburgh and a stag/hen party let off the fire alarm and we all have to troop out in PJs in the early hours.

    We stayed at one in Heathrow and people were slamming doors all night (arriving and leaving).

    If you get one of their offers then it's great, but if you want a bit of piece and quiet or something a bit nicer then I would try and get a good deal somewhere else.

    I have booked on line plenty of times.
    No problems.

    Currently they have some £15 and £26 rooms (you just have to go to the website).
    This is only certain rooms and dates.

    I think you have to pay up front and you can't cancel.

    As an aside premier travel inn have a 100% guarantee.
    We had a problem there once (room was 35 degrees) and got all our money back without a problem
    I am not suggesting abusing this but at least you know you will get it back if there is a problem (you need to give them a chance to fix the problem - in our case they were not able to solve it).
