We stay here quite often due to having family close by. Staff are always very pleasant and accommodating. Rooms are clean and fresh with ample room for our needs. Could do with a little more hanging space but overall we are very happy.

Hotel was pleasant clean and as expected. Staff were great . Company as a whole won't use again as complaints are impossible and online booking is apparently a third party and cannot get hold of anyone with out paying more money

Nice modern hotel, 5-10min walk up from train station, room nicely presented,but no hairdryer in room,but apparently you have to ask for one 🤔,Only negative the bathroom was a bit tight for space and the stupid shower curtain letting water onto the floor,First time staying in Travelodge,didn't use any other facilities there but overall quite good, but my experiences with Premier Inn is slightly better, but no grudges against this Travelodge.Oh and nearly forgot to say there's a Whetherspoons dead opposite.

Basic but very clean. Website prices change constantly so don't book early. Went from over a 100 to 35 by booking on the day. Scowled at for staying 5 seconds over checkout time by an angry cleaner.

Ideal location with paid parking in multi storey car park on the door step. Next to bus station, train distance a short walk. We went the the theatre which was a short walk away. Shops, supermarkets, pubs and eateries very close by. …
