Positive Reviews
positive:
Guests enjoy value for money
Reviews of this hotel reveal that, above all else, guests are of the opinion that they have enjoyed value for money. Sure, there are minor niggles to contend with, but the room rates are low and compare favourably to those nearer the city centre.
positive:
Location suits most guests
Although a handful of guests found this hotel was a little too far from the city centre for their liking, the location suited many. If you're fairly fit, a 25-minute walk will see you reach the centre. Otherwise, there are nearby bus stops and plenty of taxis that will whisk you to the area's attractions.
positive:
Basic but comfortable rooms
Comments from guests indicate that you shouldn't expect any particular luxuries here, but what you will find are clean and comfortable rooms that offer a quiet night's stay. Amenities are not extensive, but those in place work well.
Negative Reviews
negative:
A little dated in parts
This Travelodge is yet to benefit from the upgrades afforded to other hotels in the chain, so you may notice some areas of wear and tear. Reported issues include worn hallway carpets and scuffed paintwork.
negative:
Internet access can be troublesome
While many guests encountered no issues with the Wi-Fi, others were less than happy with the speed and reliability of the connection. Guests who paid to extend their access time were sometimes unable to get online. Plus, the only help available is via a tech support line.
negative:
Environment is stuffy
Several reviews suggest that the in-room air-conditioning is poor. Guests mention that they were unable to cool the temperature down sufficiently - a problem exacerbated by the fact that the windows are sealed shut.
