“Cutting costs too much”

Chester UK

1/2 found this review helpful

I had booked a family room as although there were only 2 of us it was my teenage daughter with whom I was travelling. Despite this only the double bed was made up and we had to go to reception to get the extra bedding needed. It was not brought to us and we had to make up the other bed ourselves.
There was no soap in the room and we had to get this from reception as well. In doing so we noted that apparently Travelodge will not now provide shampoo/swoere gel etc in the room. This is on the basis that most people use their own- fair enough probably if staying longer than a night or two but not if the visit is for one night only particularly if before flying in these days of no liquids in hand baggage.
In the restaurant 3 items on the menu were not available and one of the red wines from a very limited choice was also not available. Clearly someone had not got their ordering right.
Breakfast in the morning was poor. Everything soggy under heat lamps and just not worth the money.
No pictures on the wall of the bedroom made it seem very spartan and the TV was a cheap portable with a very poor picture.
Also there was no way of setting or getting an alarm call - so bring your own alarm clock!
The place was clean enough and reception was friendly and efficient but there was an overall impression that cost cutting had gone too far particularly when compared with the prices charged.

“Re- mollycoddle2 & slamming reception door”

I have just took advantage of the £15 offer and the slamming reception door is still a problem. To avoid this stay on any floor other then the one where the reception is. Pluses were-good full breakfast and reasonable at £7.50 and free parking. Minuses were-no bath towel and tv remote but were soon replaced when reported.

“Too many cuts, except in rate”

Detroit, MI

1/3 found this review helpful

I was aware of the Travelodge's advertising of not paying for items you don't need, and I generally agree, however, they have taken the concept too far, and the rate of 55 pounds a night is not much lower than a Holiday Inn in the same area. My biggest complaint is that I like to make telephone calls from my room using a prepaid calling card. I have been able to use these cards in hotels all over the world, except here. This property has what amounts to a pay phone in the room. You must swipe a credit card to receive a dial tone. If you want to use a calling card, you will also be charged a per minute
fee to your credit card, so it's best to just use your credit card here. The bed linens are flimsy and cheap. The mattress pad looks like it's disposable, and constantly comes off the mattress during the night, exposing the bare mattress, which isn't something you don't want to see when staying in any hotel. I would pay a few pounds
more next time, and stay in a Holiday Inn.

    • Liked — Affordable price.
    • Disliked — Equivalent of a pay phone in the room.

“Excellent Value”

2/2 found this review helpful

We stayed here last Sunday having got an excellent rate of £15 for a family room through the hotel website. This was our second visit to this hotel the first being over a year ago. I agree with all previous comments, there are no frills here but it is beautifully clean, very comfortable and despite being next to the railway and a busy road amazingly quiet. If you want to eat breakfast here it is good but a bit pricey, if you have a car you can get breakfast for a lot less at Tesco about a mile up the road.

“New hotel in a convenient location”

Travelodge Guildford

Save Review
3 of 5 stars
Houston, Texas

2/2 found this review helpful

A convenience location with pleasant rooms.

The Travelodge is not straight forward to find but has ample free parking on the ground floor. Staff are helpful as are the lifts. It looks relatively new or recently redecorated but can be something of a maze once inside. It is a short 15 minute walk to the centre of Guildford passing the railway station along the way.

Rooms are cozy, regular Travelodge rooms with little more than the bare essentials – bed, bathroom, closet, TV, telephone. The TV has the 5 expected channels and though Internet is available there is no wireless or even wired, only dialup. Coffee and tea making facilities are included in the room.

This was our best stay in a Travelodge and would recommend this location. Our experience elsewhere, however, has not been to the same standards.
