    We did think about them but I cant bring myself to do it, I cant do travelodges anymore, we use to use them all the time then they got to a point where they were grungy and stained, number one rule is clean the last one we stayed at we complained about the matress which was non existant with springs sticking up they gave DH a duvet to put ontop of it to sleep on, no cover it was stained all over vile.

    I stayed a travelodge on Friday night and I have to agree with you :( I am bad in hotels anyway :o but I thought it was bad.
    There was a large unexplained stain on the carpet, the bathroom bin still had the previous guest rubbish in and generally there was a real lack of basic cleanliness. I didn't really sleep :(

    incidentally I had an email from them today asking for feedback, which is answered honestly :eek: if they send me an offer of a free/cheap nights stay, I will be declining!!

    I would go for a premier inn if looking for a clean, well furnished budget hotel

    I am still feeling very guilty. :o :rotfl:

    Honestly there is no need to, I just give my paperwork to hubby :rotfl:


    After me saying I wasn't going out tonight, I gave in but failed to get any cleaning products, but pleased I caught the cheap bread and to make you laugh went into B & Q and found a lonely 1p pack of 3 England car fresheners :rotfl:

    Yeah I can imagine that side of it would lose it's shine if you're living there. I just have such memories of going there when I was wee and am desperate to go back :o My brother and sister are 10 and 13 so the PB and the like really appeal to them as it's not something they've seen much of what with us being country bumpkins :rotfl:

    Wanna know what the best part about this trip is though?! I get to leave OH and DD at home :o I know, I know, I'm a terrible person :p But he doesn't like it there at all, it has bad memories for him and I'd rather take DD when she's a bit older.

    Not terrible at all. We all need a break.
    There's a few offers that you can get with Ts CC points for things. PB, zoo, tower as far as I remember. Might be worth a look?

    Did you sit there trying to figure out what the stains were? :rotfl:I didnt understand how most had got there they were everywhere :eek: I also filled in the feedback very honestly, I never heard anything back!

    I think we will probably end up in Premier inn although Ibis isnt looking to bad, will do more research tomorrow to tired tonight. Thanks for the help :) night

    Could not agree more, the last time I stayed in a travel lodge I vowed never to again, was awful, that was about 4 years ago.

    Always pick Premier Inns now usually spotless.

    No! :eek: I didn't want to ponder on it too long! :o

    The place I was visiting was looking for around £100 a night for a premier inn :eek::eek:

    I hope you find something :)

    Probably best to avoid this one then! It was clean to be fair but the hotel was in need of a major overhaul. In the end price dictated for us as it was 4 of us in 2 rooms, but still cost over £200 for a night. We would have prefered premier but was price prohibitive. Hope you have a great time wherever you stay. We are planning another trip soon so let us know how you get on x.:)
