Me and my boyfriend stayed in the Travelodge, Derry for a weekend (2 nights) in the middle of June 2011.
This hotel is a great location, very central to the town, cinema, shops, many bars and restaurants.
We were given a friendly greeting upon check in by the man in reception and were allocated our room on the 3rd floor. The double room, consisted of a double bed, a single bed, a large wardrobe, a bathroom and was of a generous size. The room itself was clean and tidy and could not be faulted.
The bathroom to be honest, could be doing with an upgrade. The water in the shower took a while to heat. The sink was covered in cracks, and took ages to drain..I think the plughole was blocked, I found a cigarette butt in the sink. The toilet had an unreliable flush also.
We went out for the day on the Saturday and came back to find the room had not been cleaned, they had left fresh towels etc outside the bedroom door but had not been in the room to take the dirty towels etc, We had an abundance of towels, toilet rolls and coffee sachets for the remainder of Saturday, cos they had not been in to see what we needed and what we didnt need!!
This is a nice hotel, but I feel I have to mark it down from a "very good" to an "average" due to the condition of the bathroom and the room not being maintaned on the Saturday. I think if these 2 issues were addressed then the hotel would be a lot better, and I would come back, however not at the moment.
To summarise, if you are just looking for somewhere to rest your head for a night or two, this hotel is ideal. However if you are looking a little bit more than that, then maybe try elsewhere.
