...My wife and I have stayed at Travel Lodges about 20 times the last 10 years.We have no complaints at all.Good value for money.Clean,lovley towels,shower,bath,large settee,tv,coffee,tea,milk and the staff have always been friendly and efficient even arriving late at night,and a Gideon bible on the table.We regard the T travel Lodges as overnight stays and not as a luxury hotel with all the trimmings,and this is done,I think very well.Booking is easy by telephone or online.The nice thing about the Lodges is the good standard you receive every visit.This takes away the worry of what you might expect while are traveling.Apart from the city centre Lodges there is usualy plenty of car parking,BRILLIANT.We will be staying at Travel Lodges in the future....

Advantages: None Disadvantages: Noisy with rooms of a poor standard
...Victorian City Centre Hotel close to Snow Hill Station in need of modernisation, not very convenient if travelling by car as no hotel Car Parking available.
Nearest multi-storey by Snow Hill Station is considered unsafe for overnight parking. Receptionist advised that if car was left in this car park then ‘radio would be gone in the morning’. Suggested we parked car in secure car park whichwas five minutes walk from hotel.
Given noisy cold room with windows that would not shut, complained to duty manager and given executive room as alternative that was equally bad.
Bistro Restaurant: Reasonable meal but service slow.
Breakfast: Buffet very poor, staff exceptional unfriendly.
Summary:
Avoid, Expensive, not up to modern standards, most rooms noisy as face onto roads....

Although the word “Hertfordshire” looms large in the company name, most tours start in central London, with pick-ups (and set-downs) along the route.
In general, the trains can be split down the middle. At one end, you’ve got the standard 4-seat-across coaches, where most people bring their own food supply for the day – there is also a buffet car.
At the other end, you’ve got the “grand-style” coaches. Not vintage Orient Express stock, but redecorated to a good standard, with three armchair-like seats across. This is ideal for couples travelling alone, since you would invariably be given a solo pair of seats, by a window. Unlike some newer trains, these seat bays always get a whole window each. Groups of four are also accommodated...
