after experiencing premier inns we thought the travelodge would be equal to that. we were wrong. when we entered the room the window was open and it was freezing. we later realised this was to mask the mouldy and unhygenic smells lurking in the room. we closed the window and the curtains were still blowing around like it was still open - poor windows. We therefore asked for an extra quilt because the weather was coming into the room, but the receptionist was very reluctant to help. In the end we managed to get a single duvet but we still needed to barricade the window using the filthy and smelly cushions off the sofa. The decor and flooring were hideous and grubby. The shower was a trickle. The furniture was falling apart. I woke up covered in bites and we left immediately upon waking from a very poor sleep. Definitely DO NOT bother with this place unless you are used to sleeping rough and fancy a treat.

We paid £9 per room per night for this stay and for that you just cant fault the hotel! It was pretty basic, but had everything you could want. They were accomodating to requests for rooms near to each other.

Some rooms now have flatscreen TVs. The rooms look pretty much exactly like the ones pictured on the Travelodge Website. Shallow baths are not particularly brilliant and neither was the shower. There are Tea and Coffee facilities in the room.

The hotel is right next to the service station and road noise is not noticeable on the car park side (ask for a room on this side!!!). Cant fault it for the money! And pretty easy for getting around Notts/Yorkshire!

My wife and I booked the Travelodge for one night only to attend a 40th Birthday Party nearby, in Bircotes.

It was very easy to find, just off the A1 (M).

Very clean and tidy, comfortable bed, and friendly talkative staff - excellent! What more do you need? Nice, clean bathroom, and situated right next to the A1 - hardly any vehicle noise, and our room backed on to the A1. As above, although we only stayed one night, but would have stayed longer, happily, if required. Nice place.

We booked the "mini breakfast deal" at £2.25 each for the next day - excellent! Just enough for each of us.

A really nice Travelodge that I would stay at again.

Tarvelodge, you have got it just about right here - don't try and change it too much eh?

Excellent value for money. Ideal for purpose - an overnight stop on a long journey.
