Travelodge Bournemouth, Bournemouth

...told me that it was travelodge policy not to provide these items!!

I said that I was not aware of this and that it was never pointed out during booking and not at all obvious on their web site.

I asked if they had a bar of soap they could give me just so I could manage until the morning. They said they had none but I could look in the vending machine in the foyer.

The machine only had shampoo for which I paid ... more

I stayed for one night in this hotel in September 2008 and was not very impressed with it.

I paid £52 for a single room.

I am not sure what star hotel it is. I think its probably a 2 star hotel as it was the cheapest I could find at the time after an extensive internet search.

The room was okay and the bed was reasonably comfortable, however quite ridiculously in my opinion there was no soap or shampoo whatsoever in the en suite bathroom.

That's right, no soap, not even a single bar of soap on the sink!

I assumed that it had simply been forgotten by whoever had made up the room because the bed was made up nicely and the room was clean so I went down to reception and told them I had no soap or shampoo.

They answered me like I was dumb and in the wrong and told me that it was travelodge policy not to provide these items!!

The machine only had shampoo for which I paid £2 for a very small bottle. It was 10 p.m. at night and there were no nearby shops I could pop out to for soap.

This is the first hotel I have ever been to that can't provide a simple bar of soap.
