    Don't know about the inner city ones but the more rural (think motorway or next to little chef etc) ones tend to have a double bed plus a sofa bed.


    Incidentally anyone planning to stay at the Battersea (London) travelodge should plan for the case that the trains and underground are about 1 mile from it. There are bus routes that go past or it's a 10 min brisk walk. Not exactly the most convenient location.
    A mile??? Far more than that if you need to walk there at 11 pm! Get a cab if it's late at night - but the bus service from right outside the little shops to the right of the lodge is very good indeed and frequent (buy a day ticket in the paper shop at the bus stop).

    Just came back from Wembley Travel Lodge for the Easter weekend.
    For £15 per family room, it was a bargain.

    The pros:
    Comfy bed,
    Large room
    Decent sofa bed
    Everything was clean and good condition
    Toilet does not smell
    Secure large car park


    The cons:
    15 minutes walk from tube
    Located in a quiet run down industrial estate
    Shower basin is slow to drain - blocked?
    No phone
    No hairdryer - but provided on request
    No shampoo
    No extra tv channels apart from terrestrial and sky news. No radio too.

    Having said that, we had two comfortable nights and I would have happily paid £50 per night for what we got.

    Hi

    The room consists of a double bed and a settee. One person sleeps on the top of the settee and then there is a bed which pulls out from under the settee. The pull out bit would be a bit short for anyone too tall. You would need to book for 3 adults and one child thought - so it would be up to you whether you think you could get away with that.

    :beer:

    I wouldnt sleep on the 'pull out' settees - more comfortable to sleep on the floor.....we stayed at Bournemouth this time last year......but otherwise it was good value for the meagre sum we paid

    We have had 2 £15 travel lodge stays so far

    1 in April and 1 saturday just gone :)

    Both have been fine,my husband called the day before to make sure there was a room available and to confirm the booking etc

    The one on saturday,when we checked in the receptionist said we had booked a smoking room, when we hadnt ! but she moved us so all was well :)

    They are a bargain @ £15,yes basic but clean,if only using to shower / sleep they are fine :)

    we bring our own iron / hairdryer ,it does say they are available on a first come first served basis from reception though,should you need one

    we wanted an ironing board on sat and they didnt have one :( so pressed some clothes on a towel on the floor lol

    My 5 yr old thinks its great fun sleeping "on the floor" on the pull out bed underneath the sofa bed :rotfl:

    Got 2 more booked 1 in July and 1 in August so fingers crossed they are as good as the previous 2 have been :)
