For a travel lodge just what was expected, paid £25, value for money, would not have wanted to pay full rate. Staff friendly and helpful, did notice the creaking floorboards, but it did not bother us, would stay here again if in the area.

I stayed at this hotel about a year ago with my partner........the staff were friendly enough, our room was clean and there were the basic products you would expect - TV, tea and coffee making facilities etc. This hotel is very good value if you can find one of their sale prices online but I wouldn't personally pay the higher price range - there are other hotels within a few miles if you're looking for something swanky! (I know this as I live near Alfreton.) I am a regular at the little chef next door, and although it's a little pricier than average, the food is really nice (especially the breakfasts!) and the staff are lovely - especially Jamie! If you are looking for other places to eat nearby there are many places in Alfreton town centre located only 5 minutes drive away - wetherspoons, italianos and two indian restaurants (all located on king street), Domino's Pizza (High Street) and Mumbai Masala (another indian restaurant located on cressy road which I love!) Please be aware that these establishments don't have their own car parks and that parking is only available at the roadside. Hope i've helped!

Having read previous reviews we were a bit dubious about what to expect at this travelodge even though we are now strangers to these establishments. It is well placed for walkers like us with lots of great walks within half and hour of the lodge and one in Alfreton itself starting from the park. Tescos and other shops/restaurants are 3 minutes down the road. The young man who welcomed us was very cheerful, personable and helpful. As we had a dog he gave us room 9 which was very clean, with clean towels and linen, comfy bed. The hot water from the sink tap was a bit tepid but the shower gave plenty of hot water. We booked this Travelodge last December in their big Sale and stayed 3 nights a £9 a night. What fantastic value, you would be hard pressed to pitch a tent for that price. Having a very tight yearly budget to work to, Travelodge sales allow us to have 4 or 5 walking holidays a years in the Yorkshire Dales, Lake District and the Peak District. If we have one gripe it is the price for having a dog, it is £20 a stay, OK for us as we usually stay 3 or more nights but it does prevent us taking one night stays as it is a lot of money for one night. They should amend their price structure to £5 a night for dogs. It must put many people with dogs off staying in the lodges especially if they have more than one. We always take our own sheets to cover the bed linen and sofas so that dog hairs do not get on the furniture. We are very mindful of the visitors who will stay in that room after us. One of the best Travelodges for us and much quieter than others we have stayed at, easy to get to and find.

This is a travelodge, not the Savoy. Travelodge's don't really need much in the way of an introduction. A bed and a bathroom is about as much as you can expect and we got a bed and a bathroom, so in that respect we got what was expected. This one is located just four minutes drive along the A38 from Junction 28 of the M1. It is very handy for Alfreton, Chesterfield, Derby and Nottingham. First impressions when you arrive is a rather dubious looking car-park. the hotel itself is concealed behind tree's. The reception entrance is shared with the adjoining Little Chef. We were met by a very cheerful young lad who checked us in quickly and explained that our room would need some additional bedding but he would bring it along shortly. Our room was on the top floor, there are three floors and no lifts, so if you are infirm, you are best off asking for a middle floor. We faced onto the car park through the trees which made the room feel a bit dark. The double bed and the sofa bed were both very comfortable and the bedlinen clean and tidy. Bath towels, one in particular looking a bit old and raggy. TV channels were basic and reception on some was not 100% sharp. Kettle and tea and coffee were available. the bathroom had plentiful hot water and a fairly powerful shower. The hotel seemed quiet upon our arrival in late afternoon but on our return that night the car park was very busy and the hotel appeared to be quite busy. It seems to be frequented by business men and contractors due to the cars and vans observed in the car park. It was quiet enough at night and sleep was not disturbed.

We had breakfast in the Little Chef the following morning, it is quite large but with fewer tables making it feel a bit sparse, the two staff were very friendly. Jamie took our orders and offered extra's without being pushy, the young girl cooked and brought over the breakfast within ten minutes and checked that all was ok. I do feel that Little Chef is on the pricey side. I wouldn't normally pay more than £4 for a similar offering but then they are catering to a captive market, especially at this Travelodge which has little else around it.

No frills, basic but adequate, worth the money if paying the basic price.
