We stayed here for one night after a fireworks display and Banger Racing event. We'd paid £19 online and weren't expecting a lot but were pleasantly surprised. Arriving in the dark on foot was probably the least comfortable aspect of our stay but I'm sure most people come here with a car. Being inside a service station, there are plenty... more

As a manager of a 4 star hotel, I was'nt expecting much for my money other than a bed on our way down to france. Arrived late at night, and checked in at 11pm, checked out by 11.05. This is the worst hotel I have ever seen, worked in, stayed at, nothing even comes close. The sofa bed provided for... more

My wife and I stayed here overnight whilst travelling to England from Germany. As stated above there are a lot of problems with this hotel, mainly age and lack of effective cleaning. I fully understand that you can't polish a turd but basic cleanliness is a must. Our main observations are as follows. The room was dirty and unhygienic, plastic... more

On arrival to this Travelodge i was very wary as i had read all the reviews. Reception staff very helpful as i am disabled. Was staying there 2 nights going and coming back from Dover before the drive to Scotland. On both occasions i was given room 2 and the room was spotless. A previous few posting have commented on... more

Located at Thurrock services this Travelodge is easy to find. The first thing to hit us as we walked down the corridor to our room was the over powering smell of damp. This continued into the room. However after a spray of deodorant and leaving the window open for a short while the smell went. The room was a reasonable... more

My partner and I booked into Thurrock services for an overnight stay - Whilst bedding was fresh, the floor had not been cleaned ( bits of paper lying everywhere ). The electronic door key worked at the twelve attempt - but the best was yet to come ! In the early hours of the morning, dozens of cars arrived on... more

DO NOT STAY HERE. You have been warned! My friend and I wanted somewhere cheap and cheerful to stay whilst doing our Christmas shopping. We paid £25 to stay here on a Sunday night. All we really wanted was somewhere clean and basic to sleep. The first room we were given was awful and had a very strong smell of... more

Stayed here for a night on the way down to Dover, and my word I will never stay here again. The room was dirty, the curtains were filthy, the carpet was full of dust and fluff and there were cobwebs on the ceiling. There was a musty smell about the place and the window wasn't very secure either. We have... more

First impressions count - and here they are truly awful. A tatty Motorway service station, with lorries taking precedence, and all kind of dire threats if you park your car for more than 2 hours - automatic number plate recognition, fines through the post. The first clue about the area is they don't have pay machines for the car park... more
