Advantages close to the motorway, cheap
Disadvantages TOO close to the motorway!
We have recently travelled up to Scotland from Devon and on the way home needed to break up the 12 hour journey. We stopped at Premier Travel Inn - Preston East.
This Travel Inn is literally right beside the southbound motorway near junction 31a northbound. We were travelling Southbound, so had to come off at junction 31, join the northbound and come off at junction 31a.PRICE

BOOKING
++++++++
I telephoned the Inn and was put through to a central number as they were busy. They took a provisional booking and the Travel Inn called me back to confirm. (Be warned the number is 0870, which cost me 83p for the call).
The only downside was that there were only smoking rooms left. We did not want this, but as it was 7pm and we did not want to travel much further we agreed to take it.RECEPTION

ROOM
++++++
The bed is kingsize, with lighting controls above your head. There are also 4 pillows provided for your comfort.
The television only had the basic 5 channels with remote control and it is on a swivel setting which is handy. (When we stayed at Travelodge they had unlimited movies for £6 per day, this also included "adult" ones. No, for your information, we didn't try these!)Kettle, mugs, tea/coffee and biscuits are provided. Usually there are two sets of towels, unfortunately our room only had 1 set.
There is also wireless internet in the room. We had our laptop with us as we use it as a portable dvd player when on holiday, so I decided to check if it would work. I switched it on and after changing the settings, it found the WiFi network.
The rooms are triple glazed as they are right next to the motorway, but you can still hear the traffic roaring past.
COMPLAINTWe had a good nights sleep, but when we got up in the morning, the shower was broken. It simply would not turn at all. We packed our stuff and went to check out at reception.
I told them that the shower was not working and after sending somebody to check it, the receptionist refunded our £48 due to their complaints policy.

How easy would it be to get in and out of the hotel in a wheel chair and do they provide rooms for those of us who are wheelchair bound or have children?
