“Functional hotel at a bargain price”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 December 2011
2
people found this review helpful

Location, a service area on the A48 about 10 miles North of Llanelli. The A48 is the main road carrying traffic to and from West Wales. The hotel is a few miles after the end of the westbound M4 motorway. Access to the hotel is from a large roundabout with a petrol station and an Aldi supermarket. It is an excellent location for travelling to and from other places in the area, but there is almost no reason to stay here as a destination in itself.

A typical Travelodge, everything as expected, clean simple rooms with basic amenities. Very pleasant and helpful staff, better than the Travelodge normal. Car parking was free. In the rooms I particularly liked the flexible LED bedside lights which enabled me to read at night without disturbing the Mrs.

Eating and drinking. There is only the Little Chef right next door, so just basic functional food and a small selection of beer and wine, certainly not a "dining experience" but ok if you just want to eat. The Little Chef has free Wi-Fi but I didn't use it myself. There is a local fish & chip place very nearby which I have used on previous visits and also a McDonalds.

Our main reason for staying here was the price. Some budget hotel chains frequently advertise low prices, but very often these prices are almost impossible to find or have unrealistic conditions. Travelodge however really do sometimes have genuine good deals. This room cost just £12 booked and paid for a couple of weeks in advance. Value for money cannot be disputed. The purpose of this trip was a weekend in Wales visiting people just before Christmas. We used various Travelodges for all three nights away, all at these low prices.

Given the price paid, our stay was an absolute bargain and I have no complaints.

Room Tip: Avoid rooms near reception at front of hotel, people coming and going and smokers outside.

“Good value for the price”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 December 2011

We stayed here for one night as a stop-over. We paid £32.50 which we thought was a good price as it was only booked a few days before. Receptionist on arrival was friendly and helpful. We were disappointed that no travel cot had been setup as I had requested this in advance and it had not been recorded on the booking. The receptionist did get this sorted very quickly though.
The rooms were comfortable and have everything you need. Although we did not mind that it was a little dated, there were small details such as ripped net curtains that if replaced could improve the overall appearance.
We used the Little Chef next door for breakfast and although these are a little pricey, there service was excellent (and quick) and the food was good.

“CLEAN, QUIET and COMFORTABLE”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 November 2011
2
people found this review helpful

This is one of the old style Travelodge and I had forgotten how comfortable they are compare to the new ones: shelves and proper rail for your clothes, ( bring your own hangers, only 4 in our room ), bedside tables with shelves below, bedside lights above the bed, wall and ceiling lights ( nice bright room ) and a proper armchair !

The place could do a little makeover but it was very CLEAN, which to me is the most important thing.

We made 2 separate bookings for our 2 days stay in a family room as we took advantage of the £10 a night offer and we were able to stay in the same room.

We could not get extra pillows on the first night, all allocated, fair enough but we did get them on the 2nd night without asking again.

In all the Travelodge family rooms we have stayed, we had to make the 3rd bed ourselves but not in this one, all the beds were ready on your arrival, very much appreciated !

“Positive experience. Reasonable quality and price.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 November 2011

It is a bit dated and has seen better times, but is kept very clean and tidy and the staff are friendly and helpful. I stayed 3 nights achieved via 2 separate bookings (in order to bring overall price down). The helpful lady at reception realised this and allocated the same room to me for all 3 nights which meant I didn't need to move for my final night, which is appreciated.

The Aldi close by is handy. They do cash-back if you pay by debit card i.e. that's probably the nearest place to get cash. There is a Lloyd's Bank cash point opposite the local library 5 minutes' walk from the Travelodge.
