The gang of men stood around the entrance drinking Strongbow should have rung alarm bells, but it took until getting into my room at the Travelodge Chieveley until I realised this was the most ghetto Travelodge I've had the 'delight' to stay in. Based next to a delightful lorry park, the place stunk of cigarettes (although apparently it's a no... More

We booked into this travel lodge to break our journey from Ireland via Wales, to our Kent destination. We expected basic accommodation, but our room felt like it had seen better days. there was a distinct air of neglect and seediness about it. We lay on the bed to find out that it collapsed slightly at the end we lay... More

We stayed for 3 nights end of July 2011 as we were going to Hawk Conservancy and Highclere Castle. We had a room "in the middle" (it didnt face to lorry park of the A road, but some other rooms in the parallel building) Check in was quick and easy. Our room was a good size and was clean -... More

We stayed here to break our journey as we needed to be in the west country early in the day. This was the first time we'd stayed in a service station, and so we had gone with an open mind and expected some noise. However this place was really noisy, our room backed onto the lorry parking area and we... More

I stayed here for one night on the way down to Southampton with my husband and three childres (8,4 and 18 months) and can't express how disgusted I was with the cleanliness of the room. Where to start: > Room smelt stale and musty > No beds made up for the children on arrival, and no bedding to make them... More

Standard, somewhat tired Travelodge - no frills. TVs often on the blink. Rooms not super clean.Travellers should be aware that this is located at a somewhat run-down motorway services, with a limited selection of facilities. Its even a fair drive from a decent pub. But in can be cheap: rooms for £19 - £29 are common place. If you are... More

Cheap hotel ,one night was enough. Our room was facing the lorry park, very noisy, smelly. Room was not as good as other travel lodges we have stayed in. There was even marks on the wall where pictures had been removed or stole, who knows. The whole hotel smelt musty and stale. The shower got more water on the ceiling... More

It's a Travelodge... It's cheap... It's convenient. That's about it. The room was clean and someone was checking that the rooms had been serviced properly when we got to our room. Don't forget to register your car when checking in to avoid a parking penalty. The "restaurant" in the services looked distinctly unappetising so we had a takeaway from the... More

I stayed at this hotel with my husband 17th June for a night at £19 and had a good nights stay. Lady on reception was friendly and the room was clean. Yes it was basic but we were only stopping on route and for this it was adequate. free parking which was great and a lovely pub nearby (3miles) for... More
