Greeted by friendly staff, but this is a very tired establishment. A very depressing room after a long drive, and sadly driving around Dumbarton didn't list our spirits either. However, it was cheap, and we did sleep, although it was noisy and hot. This was the worst place we stayed in on a 5 night trip.

A recent business trip was extended to create a long weekend for sightseeing. We wanted somewhere cheap, cheerful but overall, fresh, clean and tidy.

The travelodge at Dumbarton, on the A82 was perfect. The prices were very cheap - one of the main criteria. The room was basic but clean and comfortable with the usual writing desk. This one was big enough for a setteee by the window.

TV was good with more than the basic 5 channels. A railway ran along the back of the hotel so every so often the quietness would be punctuated by the sound of a passing commuter train.

The hotel has no catering facilities at all, instead relying on a Little Chef next door. I find Little Chefs poor and overpriced and, given that we never went there, I cannot comment further on this particular one.

Because the hotel has no restaurant we tried the pub across the road - "The Stonefield". We went there the first night because we wouldn't need to drive back to the hotel. The food was OK-ish, the place was noisy with TV and was very busy. Needless to say we never went back prefering to look elsewhere. Crossing the busy A82 on foot can be interesting!

Staff at the travelodge were polite and friendly, rooms were well made up and maintained spotless though the bathroom could have done with a makeover (the bathroom radiator was disconnected "for your safety" according to the sign that had been posted).

If you are looking for cheap, clean and comfortable and don't want, rude, dirty, or any other unpleasantness I would recommend this hotel. If you want all the bells and whistles you will be terribly disppointed.

This is an excellent hotel i was staying here for business and noticed that the local football team (dumbarton fc) were playing at home to peterhead fc so i deceided to go along and watch it dumbarton won the match 5-2 and the quality of football was at least english championship standard the fans also were fantastic. Onto the hotel and it has everything you would expect for a cheap hotel (the staff were lovely) the only downside was that it was on a busy road another good point is that it was next to the railway so i could do a spot of train spotting. Thourghly enjoyed and would come again.

The room needed painting badly. The bath was too small & the shower too low for my hubby whos 6ft. The shower rail was rusty & soap dish looked old. The heated towel rail did not work and the room smelt damp. we would have left as soon as we saw the room but everywhere was booked up with a pipers comp being held. the staff were nice but they could not do anything about the state of the room.
There is a great pub over the road for breakfast & dinner at a good price
