Travelodge Room Saver - Lowest Rates Ever

PasturesNew

I'd never stay at one of these places. £50/night is just too much. It's OK for couples/families as the rate is "per room". Also, where breakfast is included, others are getting 2-4 breakfasts in their one price yet I could only have one.

When they did the £15 rooms, they didn't make it so you could say "where/when can I go and get £15/night" you had to individually trawl through every town/date to track one down.

For £5/night though it might be worth it, if it's not too hard to find a place/dates I fancy going to visit.

Do they have pet friendly rooms? Can you take the dog?

I've stopped in loads of Travelodges - but it is with me OH & 2 kids. We've never stopped in one at the full price though - we got some on the Fiver Frenzy a while ago, the rest have been £10 & £15. £26 was the most we paid. We use them either as stopovers on long jouneys, or when we want to go a bit further with the kids for a 'day' out.

Searching for the rooms is fine if you have a date in mind, because you just get it to list 'all hotels' instead of going through one at a time. I think there was a room checker on here at one point as well - but have a feeling Travelodge told them to take it off. We have the Travelodge guide book so when we see one at the price and date we want, we check the book for where it actually is which is often the biggest problem because I haven't heard of some of the towns

Never had a really bad one, any problems we did have were reported and dealt with quickly. We've never not gotten the room we paid for either.

Yes - to some of them but it costs £10 per night extra! See HERE for details. They even have special pet beds at a couple

The bespoke pet bed is 2' 6'' long and 2' wide and comes complete with mattress, pillow and duvet in Travelodge colours. Pet beds will be trialled in Newcastle, Liverpool, Birmingham and Nottingham hotels.

see HERE for more details about that.

We have had lots of great week-ends away at Travelodges for £10 and £15. We have also stayed in other hotels that have cost £50+ a night and haven't been any better. I agree the standard can be a bit hit and miss, though.

If you are just looking for a weekend away, but don't mind where you go, be careful before you book - it is worth checking exactly where the Travelodge is as some of them are on motorways, quite a distance from the nearest place, eg Penrith. Often there will be a Burger king and a Little Thief and that's all. We try to combine Travelodging with (free) visits to National Trust sites - and if you can work in a Tesco/Sainsbury's cafe visit for tea - you can have quite a cheap weekend. Take brioche rolls for Sunday breakfast, then look for a free museum on the way back. alternatively, if you are on a TL site near a retail park with a cinema, there is often a "kid's club" film on at 11am on Sat and Sun morning for £1.50.

Excellent!

Will definately look into this as soon as the offer comes up, for £5 a night I wouldnt complain if there wasnt a fan in my room, its hard to even get a camping pitch for £5 a night these days (and then you even have to supply your own tent)

We take our own fan when it's hot.
We also take a microwave and toaster if we are going for more than a couple of days.

I could fill a stocking with 3 or 4 apples for less than a quid;)

The email says they will be releasing them AFTER Christmas so you won't be able to book one until then. Everyone who is signed up to the email gets a day or 2 prior notice of them going live so best to sign up to it.

Thanks for this OP - have signed up and hopefully there'll be some rooms in Norfolk (seeing as that's where we're hoping to paddle next year )
