Very disappointed to say the least. On first impressions the Lodge looks very quaint and oldie worldie. The reception area was as you'd expect, then the room... The stench of, how can I word this? Soiled underwear was very pungent as soon as we entered the room (the windows were open as well). I actually stripped the bed and checked... more

read all the reviews when booked - mist of them were right, rooms were dirty, very musty, the whole hotel has leaked so the pools of water were bad and they has started to smell all down the corridor, booked 4 rooms cost over £200 and still has to pay to park - why? in the middle of no where... more

I didn't expect luxury, and it was made clear on the website what I would be paying for parking (although I could have lived without), and to bring toiletries. For the price I expected a clean room and bed for the night, with a decent shower - this is what I got. Staff were welcoming, and happy to provide extra... more

We've just returned from 2 nights at the Travelodge in Kendal (ok, it's just outside Kendal) and I have to say we're bewildered about some of the terrible reviews it got. Having read them we were half regretting booking a £35 per night deal in the Travelodge Sale. From beginning to end I really could not fault our experience. The... more

Having stayed at Kendal Travel Lodge last year on our way to Edinburgh we repeated the booking this year. Basic room - ask for the back of the building as road noise is all night. Do not have breakfast - all plastic milk and sugar cereals. Go to Abbott Hall cafe Kendal instead. Shocked to wake up in the morning... more

Despite arriving late at night, a very friendly welcome was given by the front desk. Good security to rooms as a key card is required to access them. We booked a family room which was a bit shabby and tired. The mattresses were very uncomfortable along with the sofa bed. The room was very basic with only a TV and... more

Paid £52 per night for a family room, good price for the Lake District - got a spacious, spotlessly clean room. Hotel was very easy to find along the A591 about 5/10 minutes from the M6. Staff very helpful and friendly in sorting out a few requests. There is a five quid fee for the car park, but it says... more

Seriously, normally reading negative reviews on a hotel wouldn't bother me, but all you people slagging this travelodge off? I'm sorry, but you all need a good slap! You whinge & whine about several things, but may i point out:- 1) Parking fee - ADVERTISED ON THE WEBSITE - TRY LOOKING! 2) no showergel/shampoo - ADVERTISED ON THE WEBSITE 3)... more

Difficult to find as there is no notice outside and the postcode is shared with a farm (satnav tries to take you up a farm track). We paid £80 in advance over the phone. The room was clean but bare and tired looking with plasticky curtains. There was no bathmat, shampoo or showergel. There was only one chair in the... more
