Been using this Travelodge for last 4 years every October. Never had an issue. Free parking, welcoming Staff, clean and tidy rooms. The only minus point is no USB charging socket in the room so bring a charging plug.

I use this car park very often, I am a truck driver and the place is safe. They have a shower in the hotel for drivers. The rooms are what they are, it is not a luxury hotel, it is a roadside hotel.
