Advantages: Convenient for motorway Disadvantages: Service
I have stayed at quite a few travelodges in the UK without any problems or complaints, but avoid this one at all cost.
My room stunk, the smell was emanating from the bathroom sink.
The Wifi advertised was so slow it took over 10 minutes to boot up the welcome page. When i phoned up the service provider I was given the usual bs about it must be my equipment.(Strange as it had been working perfectly a half mile up the road at another Wifi area).
