Ok, so when we booked a travelodge we knew we weren't expecting 5 star luxury, but for nearly £100 per night we expected a bit more.. The town centre location alone doesn't justify the price.
The rooms in this once fine hotel are large and airy, but the standard travelodge room template just doesn't work; there was a huge space in the room just empty... Maybe a bigger bed or a chair or just something?
Don't get me wrong, the room was clean, the bed kinda comfortable, the water hot etc etc, but the place is soulless...
And the other downside... The building is listed and the internal walls have next to zero sound proofing. We were watching TV at a barely audible volume and the sound woke the guests in the next room.. A knock at the door followed from the only member of staff on shift at night, to ask us politely to turn the volume down... We did, but of course then we couldn't hear it!
All in all a very average experience. Next time we'll book earlier and book at the premier Inn instead.
