Limehouse Lizzy were playing in Wolverhampton, so, as my boyfriend’s house was an expensive taxi ride away and it was valentines we decided to make a weekend of it. (Yes, in Wolverhampton: P)
We booked online (http://www.travelodge.co.uk/search_and_book) and chose the saver rate, it is cheaper but non refundable should you have to cancel.
The rooms are all standard images on the website but can be much different as we found out when we stayed in the Oldham Travelodge a few months later. This one had been taken over from a once fancy hotel and was quite run down. It was clean but not exactly modern.
The booking process is simple the site takes you through room requirements and an extras page. Some of these can extras can be expensive. You have to register with the site when you book, but it doesn’t take too much time.
Despite looking like an ugly 1960’s car park, the building is very nicely done inside. The reception looks very posh and the staff were friendly and helpful. Check-in must have taken five minuets tops! Our room looked recently renovated too, we had a king-size bed, tea and coffee making facilities, freeview and a large wardrobe. The view was the back of an office building but hey, it was Wolverhampton not the lakes. It had a large, clean bathroom too with a walk in shower.
You are given two swipe cards for access to your room, the hotel and electric. These are handy but unreliable as they stopped working a couple of times at both Wolverhampton and the Oldham Travelodge. Luckily there is someone on reception 24 hours, so you’re not stuck if this happens at two in the morning!
Housekeeping was good, we got fresh towels every day and although we did not try the breakfast (it seemed too expensive at £7.99 each) there was a lovely smell in the morning and a fair few people tucking in. The Wifi is expensive too at £5 per hour. Travelodge also allow pets at an extra charge.
As for Wolverhampton, there’s not much to do besides the museum, gallery and shops. It did get quite mad on Friday night too, with drunk people fighting (I saw more trouble there than in Blackpool! :P) so we retreated to the Gifford Arms, a rock pub in the shape of castle. It had a great atmosphere, lots of classic rock and cheap beer. It’s only around the corner from Travelodge too so I’d definitely recommend it if you stay here.
Check out was simple, we just handed the swipe cards over and said goodbye!
This Travelodge is definatly not a scenic holiday destination, but if you are here for business, a concert, hen night or anything like that, Travelodge is a cheap, clean and overall great place to stay.
