“Exeter M5 Travelodge”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 February 2012

I spent one night at Travelodge for my graduation and it was comfortable enough for a brief stay. My mum and I shared a twin room, which had a doublr bed and a single bed. I slept on the single bed, which was a bit narrow but comfortable. The bedroom and en-suite bathroom were clean and the shower was excellent. The room was basic but did include a TV, which was good because there isn't really much else to do there and I forgot to pack a book. The staff were very friendly and helpful. My main quibble is that they only provided two complimentary tea bags, which I felt was a little stingy! There is a restaurant at the Travelodge, but I opted to pick up a cold meal from the M&S food at the nearby services. It was pricey but perhaps tastier than the offerings at the Travelodge restaurant. The website has a warning about noise from the motorway, but I couldn't hear it at all from my room. All in all I was pleased and would recommend it for short stays. But for the price I'd probably opt for the Exeter YHA for longer stays (which I would also recommend if you don't mind shared bathrooms).

“Run down Travelodge”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 January 2012

It was only a one night stopover before travelling further south. Cost £47. This Travelodge is conveniently placed, just off the M5 on the Moto Service Area, and a short drive into Exeter. The place was run down, and needed a good coat of paint everywhere, especially in the main corridors and stairs. The room was basic but also needed a good coat of paint. The bathroom was not up to standard and needed new tiles and grouting. The bath itself was small and very shallow. I even had to duck under the shower as that was too low for me and I'm only five feet tall! The restaurant looked tired and out-dated and pricey for a fish and chips meal. Would not stay there again!

“Convenient stop-over - Great price”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 January 2012

Stayed for one night on our way down to Cornwall.
Bargain price of £12, so could not get better value.
Basic room, clean, extra pillow provided on request.
There is a Harry Ramsdens Fish and Chip restaurant attached to the hotel, but we did not try it.

“Typical travelodge , but helpful staff”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 January 2012

people found this review helpful

As most travelodges are similar, the benefit of this one is price, and closeness to the M5 motorway. Rooms are basic ( hairdryer available from reception), but there is an excellent Harry Ramsden restaurant attached to the Motel.

“very good”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 December 2011

person found this review helpful

We booked the room for two nights as part of a wedding party. I read a lot of the previous statements after i booked and was very concerned, as had also booked 10 other rooms for various people.Anyway, the room was lovely and we were all very pleased. The room was very clean and so was all the bedding. The shower was fab. I agree that the decor is a little tired, but really not worth all the degative feedback previously given. The staff are lovely and nothing is too much trouble.
